Edited on Sun Sep-10-06 08:19 PM by cryingshame
Really. College kids could use this for a Movie O'The Week Buzz it's so bad.
One of the best ways to bring your enemies down is laugh at them.
This movie is a hidden gift to the Left in so many ways.

1. Why would ABC air such an amateurish film? |
|
Makes one furiously think, eh?

21. I'm sure the majority of the $40 million this "film" allegedly cost |
|
was spent in payola to ABC for airing it. No advertisers? This is sort of like a paid-for-tv propaganda advertisement for the wingnuts.

30. You'd think that if propagandists were willing to pay 40 million |
|
they would have hired better film makers. Perhaps no legit director wanted to be part of this?

2. I switch the channel to it every now and then- camera shake is nauseating. |
|
I can't imagine too many people staying tuned in to it for very long, it's a piece of shit, a snoozer.

3. I knew if the rest of the movie was like the two "teaser" scenes |
|
shown by the whorish M$M Cable News networks, it would SUCK POND WATER. Good! :P

6. Remember Dan Ackroyd's SNL Skit "Bad Cinema"? |
|
I keep waiting for Dan Ackroyd as Leonard Pinth-Garnell to turn to the audience, smile and say "Wasn't that truly dreadful?"
This is unbelievably awful. Exactly what one might expect from an aging "Youth With A Mission" cultist leader who thinks that he knows what today's kids think is hip. Every cliche in the book is used. It bounces back and forth in short dark clips, interspersing flashing NYC disco scenes (complete with glowing green drinks) with sepia-toned Middle Eastern action scenes. Clearly the producers sold this to ABC as a movie that would appeal to the MTV set, hence the Scholastic study guide aimed at high schoolers. I don't think that they understood their audience though. This truly is dreadful cinema.

27. Thanks for noticing the "green." |
|
And the other colors.
I've posted about the "colors" of this "film."
Colors seem very intrinsic in this propaganda.

8. It's NOT a "hidden Gift to the Left" (quoting you) it's a GIFT TO ROVE |
|
and a TRASH TO EVERY DEM WHO PHONED, WROTE AND SIGNED PETITIONS.
You think it's "Laughable." Well...so is our DEMOCRACY at this point according to what you say about this "CAMPY MOVIE" that ranks with "Reefer Madness."
yeah...right.

23. If Cinton & those in his Administration don't do a Lawsuit after this then |
|
I think it's a disservice to those of us who went after ABC...That's what I meant. Sorry, I'm very worried about what's left of our Democracy/Constitution and thought you were "trolling me." If I jumped at you...I apologize for seeming to do that.
Peace! koko

11. You're right. I've switched over to it enough to see about half so far |
|
and it's a 'movie' disaster. If they paid the 'director' more than 20 bucks, they got screwed. What a sorry fuckin' excuse for even a "mellerdrama", let alone any kind of serious effort to portray history. It's actually funny in a sad and wierd way.

25. There's not much that can "overide" what's going on no matter what |
|
"vice" we try to use. I don't even know if therapy or heavy meds could do it....:-( It's interfered with so many of our lives for so many years.
Still...we must be hopeful...and make plans if we aren't.

13. Agreed. It;s SO F****** boring, I doubt Bush is even watching- |
|
Their mistake was going back to the 93' bombing.. AND.. no commercials...guffhaw..If they were trying to make a point they should have called Jerry Bruckheimer.
Who in the world is going to sit for 3 hrs and be able to decipher what in the hell is going on? A Republican? A Democrat? Not going to happen boys and girls..
This movie is DOA- Shrink the viewership by 99$ tomorrow night..
PU!

The Canadian border US Customs agent Diane Dean, has made an arrest. Things are starting to get interesting. Sandy Burger's decision not to take the shot at Bil Laden seems reasonable. Is the Pat character a reliable portrayal? (She seems a bit over the top.)
The news broadcast (Miller) about Clinton and the Lewinsky debacle, where they mention he is under "attack" by Republicans while the Jihad is blowing up..is a good thing..imo Makes them look really bad...especially, compromising our security to satisfy some depraved need for partisan satisfaction..
<Blank edit> announcement for tomorrow's conclusion..

20. Are they preparing their defense? |

If the movie is so bad that no one could possibly take it seriously, much less watch it, could this be used as a defense in the upcoming defamation trial?

I've seen home movies w/better production values. This is what happens when you let Christian missionary interns make a movie.

Reefer Madness is actually funny. I suspect Path is simply amateurish self-aggrandizement- kinda like LaHaye's Left Behind series.(Note; I'm a Christian, and I still LOATHE LaHaye)

It probablly wasn't at the time? This "movie" is actually a contestant in that genre.

38. Reefer was not meant to be funny, but it is |
|
Plan 9 From Outer Space falls into that same category.
Path will always simply be thought of as BAD.

If we captured that laptop here, we'd never be allowed to look at it.
The "it's your fault" emotional speech by the woman after the embassy bombings.
And a special tip of the cliche hat to the singing of Danny Boy.
