Big names no draw for anti-war films
Q: How does this support the widely bruited about Donk assertion of a massive groundswell of opposition to the war?
A: It doesn’t!
It doesn’t matter how many Oscar winners are in front of or behind the camera  audiences are proving to be conscientious objectors when it comes to this fall’s surge of anti-war and anti-Bush films. Both “In the Valley of Elah” and, more recently, “Rendition” drew miniscule crowds upon their release, which doesn’t bode well for the ongoing stream of films critical of the Iraq War and the Bush administration’s wider war on terror.
The moonbats are going to take a bath in terms of their investment. Like they say in Russia: “Toughski shitski” Couldn’t happen to a more deserving crew.
Brandon Gray, President and Publisher of www.boxofficemojo.com, says we seek out movies for inspiration, for laughter and to be moved. “Many of these recent dramas fail on all those fronts,” Mr. Gray says. “They’re too heavy handed in their presentation.”
So given the perpetrators, what else would you expect?
