I just can't imagine someone like ABC allowing such an amateur
film to be shown. I have seen better productions from middle school kids or even YouTube.
What is there motive for doing it? I am totally lost in the movie. I feel seasick.
They had to have known. Didn't they test it with all the conservatives. Leaving the politics out of it, it is a piece of crap, not worth the air time really.

1. Maybe someone got rich off the 40 million The Mouse paid?

7. You know, you give me confidence about the elections.
If that is the best they can do, the elections ought to be a piece of cake.

4. I'm watching this and thinking
the writer, director and cinematographer must have gone to "Freeper Film School."

5. Don't worry about kids watching it because it's a SNORE-FEST
It's so bad but not quirky enough to reach "amusing" on a cult classic level.

Just one long, slow train wreck in monotone. :P

They wanted to snag Chuck Norris for a lead role in "The Path to 9/11" but determined his acting to be "far too animated" based on his performances in the previous "Texas Ranger" series. :rofl:

8. From the sound of it
It sounds like that $40 million didn't go to production values. I'm not watching it so I can't say for certain. But that view seems to be shared even by those in freeperland. So where did it go? ABC is airing this thing without commercials. I think what we're seeing here is quite possibly the world's most expensive political ad. And if that's true, then ABC is guilty of breaking so many laws I can't even count. They should have their broadcast license revoked for this.

9. I suspect there was some blackmailing going on..
Edited on Sun Sep-10-06 08:52 PM by MadMaddie
or some other type of strong arm persuasion.....the illegal wiretapping maybe?

no commercials....someone with a lot of Repug money paid for this.....the unedited version was sent throughout the world....the only saving grace about that is the world is not so easily fooled by a piece of poorly made shit movie.....

10. Even the Freepers can't bear to watch.
And even they think the jarring, shaking camera and silly camera cuts are migraine-inducing.

Makes all those positive reviews of this tripe look *very* suspect. Chicago Sun-Times was right for giving it zero stars. High school film production students could have put together a more professional movie.
