I'm Watching the Movie "Recount" Right Now, For The First Time
Edited on Fri Mar-05-10 08:48 PM by Dinger
It is making me sick. I'm recording it, but have had to turn the t.v. off several times. For those who have seen it, what is your opinion?

3. Can't watch it either...
someone gave me a copy of Toobin's book, SIGNED by Jeff-the-Pervert himself, and I couldn't even open it...too upsetting.

4. I have tried to watch it a few times, I even own the damned movie.
But it gets more depressing with each viewing, or with each attempt.

And, as we all know, it does NOT have a happy ending.

We're living the fucking terrible ending.

6. Really it seems like the ending is neverending
How many years will we suffer with the impact of Bush's 'win'?

I could never watch it. It is tormenting to even think about it.

5. Seen it a couple of times
a fairly accurate version of the overthrow of the US Government. Possibly the worst(read scariest) horror movie EVER made!

7. enjoy it - for those who do not remember the details it is an eye opener
invite a few "Conservative " neighbors to join you and watch it again, and again.

8. Few things have been as difficult to watch.
How did we allow this? What is wrong with us?

Greg Palast: "Big Easy to Big Empty", his investigation of NOLA until they kicked him and the crew out, another one that made me physically ill.
