Fair Game...wow, just wow

[cally]

The movie brings it all back. The lies in the State of the Union. Condi Rice warning that the smoking gun could be a mushroom cloud. The tubes that the experts knew (as well as DU) knew were not for a weapons,and the manipulation of the media. The VPs office going to the CIA to manipulate intelligence.

The movie made it all more real and inspirational in a way. Joe Wilson is an American hero that spoke truth to power and he and his wife paid a price. At the end of the movie, he is giving a lecture to a college class talking about patriotism. Great movie..

1. I don't know if my blood pressure would allow me to see it. But I hope it's a success. n/t

16. Same ehre. I couldn't watch "An Inconvenient Truth" because I knew

it would cause more stress than I could bear. I had to stop reading articles and lookign at pictures about the deep water oil spill for the same reason, and I can't read or look at pictures about polar bears starving or about the bears drowning as they try to find a place to climb out of the water.

I believe that our civilization is like a rabbit shot on the run. It's already dead, but it keeps going for a while in the same direction before it finally falls over. (I got that perfect metaphor from novelist John Barth, BTW, so don't give me credit for it.)

19. that's an excellent metaphor

back when i was a child,friends and myself chased a rabbit all over a hillside shooting it with bb guns. They were the old daisy bb guns that really had no pressure but when that rabbit had enough of our bullshit, it turned and attacked. i'd never heard a rabbit snarl up to that point in my life, i never chased rabbits again.

Make sure it doesn't get freeped. :)

[Warpy]

6. I think it's already been Freeped

Critics gave it 75%-79%. Audience is only 66%.

17. This comment in one review bothers me:

"It takes awhile, but Sean Penn eventually manages to turn Fair Game into a political tract."

Well, duh! As though the whole damned thing wasn't a political ploy on the part of the CheneyBush administration. Pointing out crimes committed by the right is always treated as a no-no.

[femrap]

7. I can't wait until it comes to

the 'fly over' states....I think next week. I'll probably go see it twice. I want this movie to make lots of money so we can more in the same vein.

8. it's stunning that they flat out got away with all of it.

[gateley]

9. They got away with whatever they wanted. nt

[Dragonfli]

10. They were determined to be above the law by the Obama administration

And yes it is stunning.

[cally]

11. I'm stunned. Seeing it again brings back the disbelief, anger,

and utter frustration I felt during those years.

[truedelphi]

18. So many opportunities to really and truly take this country back

And restore the demcoracy the founders intended for us and our progeny to enjoy.

oh well...

[elleng]

12. Good to hear; looking forward!

[Greyhound]

13. K&R but they had a lot of help to, first do this, and then to be allowed to walk

away from these crimes against humanity.
:kick: & R

[TexasObserver]

14. recommend

[Lugnut]

15. This is a must-see for me.

I will be keeping an eye out for the release here.

[Skittles]

22. Kicked&Recommended..

[bagimin]

23. Yep...4 thumbs up from us

Very good. Naomi Watts, excellent. We walked out of the theater feeling this should be required viewing in high school civics...if there is such a class any more.
war criminals, all of 'em.
