And Ben Kingsley?

I’ll admit the trailer seemed like a drawn out 1-picture joke about Afghanistan turning into a giant McDonalds parking lot, although the last scene at the end didn’t seem too bad.

hmm.

Seems a lot of talent for what doesn’t really seem like.. a particularly good film. Judging from the trailer.

Dan Aykrod and John Cusack (his politics aside)?

I’ll admit I’ll have to take a look at it now..

I wonder if the family of Nick Berg will find that teaser humorous? I’m guessing no.

Berg’s father holds the opinion that Zarqawi’s death was a “tragedy” and that Bush did more damage that Saddam ever did.

Seriously? This is real?

Let’s make a movie off a Naomi Klein article published in Harpers Magazine and get John Cusack to star and set a release date for 9/11/2008 and pray the people will come see it.

This is real? This cannot be real.

Dude. What did Hillary Duff do to her face? Perhaps a high-end full remodel job? Seriously, she looks like that Cat Woman freakshow.

Um, looks like the movie is about profiteering out of war. Isn’t making money out of movie that jokes about war equally as nauseating?

Um, not even nearly.

Why pay $10 bucks to be lied to about the war when MSNBC and CNN will lie to you for free around the clock in the comfort of your own home?

Not really – we still end up paying for those unwanted news channels, given that they come with most (if not all) standard cable and dish packages.

I’m waiting for the “Harold and Kumar Escape from the Democrat National Convention”, should be a laugh riot.

Given that Harold & Kumar is opening on thusands of screens, while this one is opening on two, I'm thinking H&K has a better chance of making money.

I saw a scene from the film the other day. It looked awful.

I’m just wondering how much money the anti-war crowd has made. I’m sure everyone at MoveOn.org is doing well. I’m sure Michael Moore is doing financially well. Code Pink seems to have enough to spend their whole days holding up signs at hearings.

You must never wonder that. Ever.

blankminde on April 24, 2008 at 12:59 PM

I actually found myself both entertaining and amused …

… until it came to that particular scene.

I give liberals credit, though – its about time they figured out this approach.

But for the love of God, don’t ask Hillary Duff to do an accent. That was cringe-worthy just in the preview. Just have her get nekkid. This is America, dammit.

It doesn’t even look all that funny.

It’s certainly no Billy Madison.

just the title is enough for me to say no.

I thought it looked kind of funny.
Don’t worry, though, the nine-dollar-a-ticket local theaters will keep me away.

Wait’ll they get the threats – “BEHEAD THOSE WHO INSULT THE JIHAD!”.
