IT'S hard for Hollywood pacifists like Brian De Palma to capture the hearts and minds of America if Americans won't see their movies.
While the public is staying away in droves from “Rendition," “Lions for Lambs" and “In the Valley of Elah," audiences are really avoiding “Redacted," De Palma's picture about US soldiers who rape a 14-year-old Iraqi girl, then kill her and her family.

Nothing like the public speaking with their wallets.

Of course years later it will be listed and described as a “Milestone” on some obscure list somewhere...

They must have counted the popcorn and Junior Mints in the gross as well.

Wait, it’ll be nominated for about 7 Academy Awards. They’ll do it just to bring it to your attention.

which “could be the worst movie I've ever seen," said critic Michael Medved -took in just $25,628 in its opening weekend in 15 theaters, HAHAHAHA! Man! That really IS bad!
That is 1,708.00 per theater. Shoot, the popcorn cost more that that!

"De Palma's picture about US soldiers who rape a 14-year-old Iraqi girl, then kill her and her family...." Well gee whiz... that just sounds like so much family fun and entertainment this Thanksgiving weekend. How about De Palma do a movie about a big time HOLLYWOOD record executive who lures a waitress/actress home to his mansion and then blows her face off point blank with a gun!

I love the continued reaction of the American public to these Code Pink flicks.
Makes you wonder about the validity of all these "polls" about opinions on the war the media is circulating.

Mark Cuban lost a lot of HIS money on this monstrosity.

What is reassuring to me is that either even the libs aren't flocking to see them either or there aren't nearly as many libs as we've been led to believe, what with all the dead, illegals and multiple-vote voters swelling the numbers in past elections.
If we can truly cut down on voter fraud, we just may find that this country isn't nearly as "50-50" as we have thought.

Wait, it’ll be nominated for about 7 Academy Awards. Then De Palma will get a Nobel Peace prize.

Apparently not. The story says Mark Cuban (leftist wacko owner of the Dallas Mavericks) offered to sell the movie to De Palma at cost. De Palma was not dumb enough to take the offer.
