Gee, I wonder what Disney is up to with Swing Vote...
http://swingvote.movies.go.com/

What a surprise; stereotypes galore, and a slant you can smell right through the carefully sanitized trailers. The archetypal American "hero", Kevin Costner - an ignorant, apathetic, lovable, redneck. The Republican candidate, Kelsey Grammer (yup) - is decisive and confidant. The Democratic candidate, Dennis Hopper (we get it) - a pussy. Run your mouse over the pics on the website to get little summaries of the characters. You're gonna love what it says about the democrat:eyes: The website trailer is different than the TV ads we're seeing here in LA, enjoy the scene where the dem is forced to go shooting with Costner.

Fuck you Disney.

1. Those captions sound like some hack writer pitching movie ideas to a hack producer.
I'm getting a distinct "Primary Colors" vibe and that's not a good thing.

2. I wouldn't worry. The trailer shows a premise so dumb that it will flop at the box office. /nt

5. I have a hard time imagining Dennis Hopper playing a p*ssy
I've seen him in too many bizarre, evil, and edgy roles.

6. I'm going by the "wound tight and has a chip because he was always the last picked for the team" goo
Maybe it means nothing, but so far the trailers I've seen only show Grammer. My guess is that's because most of Hopper's scenes show him as a douche. Just a guess mind you.

that the tourist industry has been mum on reporting figures... shhh, it may cause someone to notice.
