I put "mini-series" in quotes because, excuse me...but don't you generally need more than two of something in order to call it a series? Doesn't anyone remember when a mini-series was a six-night event like "Roots" or something? Now we have an over-long commercial split down the middle in hopes that half the audience doesn't die of rock ass just as Monica Lewinsky is informing Bill Clinton that she's invited Usama Bin Laden over to the Lincoln Bedroom for a three way, but Sandy Berger nixes the plan because Hillary was unexpectedly still in town.
But I digress.
Anyway, why would anyone want to see this movie now except for sheer morbid curiosity? Just as a goof, perhaps, like watching "Attack of The Killer Tomatoes." Will the righties still watch it now that it has been totally discredited, the way some of us loved the fictionalized "Marilyn and Norma Jean" just because Ashley Judd portrayed a naked Norma Jean in much of it? IOW, the fantasy is way better than the reality anyway, so let's just go along for the ride?
I'm just curious...why the hell would anyone watch this when they know it is filled with deliberate "dramatizations" of historic events which simply never occurred?
