That’s actually bad news. This is a good movie that treats the war fairly. If it bombs out we’re not going to get more. It’s too bad so many conservatives knee jerked and made assumptions about the content of the movie, assumptions which it turned out are 100% false.
If we want Hollywood to make our kind of movies we need to make the few that sneak through profitable. This is actually our kind of movie.
I hear ya. However, IMO, it was heavily advertised to appeal to more liberal audience - as more humorous than serious, and cast was no exception. If I had to choose which movie to pay for based on adverts, I’d choose “Nation Treasure” sequel hands down, especially since I enjoyed first one.
On a good side - if it bombs - it will show (along with recent “anti-Iraq”, anti-military, anti-US BO bombs) just how deep the suspicion alone of liberal agenda in the movie will bury it and along with that maybe it will tell the actors and others in entertainment industry who expected and still expect to benefit from regularly trashing US and other “blame US first” crowd that it’s no longer a great way to advance their careers as far as being BO moneymakers, and may even produce an adverse reaction - at least in terms of domestic consumption. They might have to develop a two-tier structure of political movies - “trash US” for oversees, light patriotic fare for “Jesus freaks” and “right wing fanatics” at home.
Combined with hypocrisy and financial “betrayal” many in Hollywood now experience due to fractures apparent in writers’ strike, this may be a food for thought to many in the “community”. May also be or lead to some kind of pivotal turning point.
OT. Hope to see good “John Adams” miniseries on HBO, coming soon.
