Does anyone remember the other 9/11 propaganda film?
Years ago, some other Bush booster made a terrible film about Bush's heroics on the day itself, which was broadcast and apparently viewed by no one. Does anyone remember the date and/or title?

5. IMDB says it was written by Lionel Chetwynd,
who also co-wrote "Celsius 41.11," the anti-Fahrenheit 911 movie. Another right-wing propaganda classic that died a quiet and obscure death.

3. Thanks, notmypresident!
Just looking at the cover graphic for that thing is enough to make you heave.

6. I was thinking "Celsius 41.1"
'Celsius 41.11' counters Moore's film
When Michael Moore's 2004 documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" proved to be a hit that rallied partisans on the left against President Bush, Bossie said he was surprised and then got on the phone looking for someone to craft a right-wing response. When he got no answer, he reached into Citizens United's deep pockets, put up about $1 million and hired Hollywood stalwarts Lionel Chetwynd, Kevin Knoblock and Ted Steinberg to help him make "Celsius 41.11."

"The contrasts are startling. 'Fahrenheit' Bush was a deer in the headlights; 'Celsius' Bush is a deer hunter," read a review in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. ". . . 'Fahrenheit' Bush barely could speak in complete sentences; 'Celsius' Bush delivers confident speeches. And so on."

The movie may not have created the buzz that "Fahrenheit 9/11" did, but it did go on to be shown in 125 theatres and to be reproduced on 200,000 DVDs, many of which were given to Citizens United supporters. "One thing I learned is you can have impact with that medium," Bossie said. "I also learned that I can make films. And you don't have to make them in Hollywood."

10. Sherry Palmer! One of the best "24" characters ever!!
Can't believe she's stooped so low as to playing Condi, not once but twice!

11. And the Larry Sanders show
Edited on Fri Sep-08-06 10:41 AM by notmypresident
Such a lovely woman. Too bad she is making a small career playing an evil twisted nasty woman.

I mean Condi. Sherry Palmer was a saint next to her.

EDIT: Changed Larry David to Larry Sanders. Can't believe I made that mistake. :-)

9. Remember "Homeland Security". It was terrible.

This crappy movie played in 2004 close to the elections, if I remember correctly.
