Good Night, And Good Luck

[SIU_Blue]

is a new drama-mentary coming out about the McCarthy era and the few news reporters who challenged his "hearings". It has some big name actors, (read: George Clooney) and some big awards. If anyone has seen it, let me know how it is cause I want to see it. Anyone who hasn't seen it, check out the site, it's pretty cool.

2. I haven't seen it just yet....but I will.

The reviews have ALL been outstanding!

Run, don't walk, to your nearest and most convenient theater and SEE IT!

I'm sure you won't be sorry......

I wait for them to come out on DVD, these days...don't care for going into the theaters any more........

5. Why Hello!

I will definitely see it, unfortunately I go to college in a rural area, so I might not be able to see it for awhile.
:banghead:

Oh well, thanks for the reply!!!!

8. You're welcome!

I like to come into threads where there aren't any responses, and give them a sort of meaningful kick!

I checked out your profile, and it seems to me that there should be some theaters in your town...

Or would your college show it? It certainly is timely!


:hi:

10. It sure is timely

there are a few theatres, but they like to cater to college students, so mostly they have bad action/slapstick comedy type of movies. I think the school will show it at some point, but that's usually months later. Hopefully I will see it as I am traveling to Chicago this weekend.

Always good to hear from you!

3. I'm going thursday night. Several DUers have seen it and loved it

but I shouldn't speak for them.

4. I saw this film on Saturday.

The stroke of genius was that they used actual footage of Sen. McCarthy instead of casting an actor to play him. I loved the film. :bounce:

6. yeah, I read that in the reviews

that's really cool, it's the first film i've really been excited to see in a long time.

7. Ya I wonder what Ann Coulter's reaction has been, since she made a big

deal out of championing the great patriot McCarthy. Sorry I don't go to wingnut sites...

On edit: This is highly recommended. I really liked it. My favorite acting performance was Frank Langella as Bill Paley, head of CBS. Human, but very authoratative and intimidating as a good CEO probably would be. Guy you'd feel a little uncomfortable on a long elevator ride with, especially if you'd been having any problems at work...

9. You know what's a disgusting thought....

going to the movies and running into Ann Coulter.

:puke:

Do they let her out of the cage often?
