I have a Mission
To get my Neocon father in law to go to this movie, he called me "Fucking stupid" (drunk) at Easter when i was waring my Kerry Button. He is not a asshole either he is really nice, he is just brainwashed. Any ideas on how to get him there?

1. Tell him you are going to see the passion
he should jump to see that.

3. I got my husband to go see
Gone With the Wind when we were going together. I told him it was a Civil War movie..he probably wouldn't have gone if I'd said it was a love story.
Be creative in what you tell him it's about.

4. Offer to buy the tickets and dinner and tell him that you would like him
to go to help you give balance to what the film presents.
Playing to his "vanity" or "know all" will help you if you let him believe that you need his insight to help you shift through fact and fiction. (Manipulation is the key) (IHMO)

6. Tell him you'd like to take him so he can tell you where it's wrong
You could use his advice. The TV says it's all lies. He an help you sort it out.

Heheh.

9. He's really a Neocon? Well...
Remember that part in Clockwork Orange where the main character is strapped to a chair and forced to watch the screen? Mmmh?:evilgrin:
