1. Except that it is in the 'horror' genre
which means it probably won't have much impact, if any.

29. As that rogue Governor of Louisiana, Edwin W. Edwards once said..
"I could not lose unless I was caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."

I can't recall if this quote was in reference to his many gubernatorial races or his many rackteering trials!!

31. Maybe not
Killing hundreds of thousands of Iraqis just gets cheers from America's religious Right but penises are a different story. Murder, torture, greed, screwing the poor=Godly. SEX=EVIL.

13. I'll take that as a 'no.'
Honestly, if the publicized fact that he authorized torture results in nothing, what makes you think that a movie will have any effect let alone a movie which is a fictionalized portrayal of someone dealing with PTSD caused by his involvement in torture.

18. This will take a little background in the nature of Public Relations aka propaganda
Edited on Tue Sep-29-09 01:15 AM by grahamhgreen
Edward Bernays, the father of modern marketing and propAganda coined the term "public relations" to replace the word propaganda after WWII.

All of the right wing PR/propaganda firms in Washington operate on Bernays principal that it is more effective to change minds by appealing to peoples fears and desires than to persuade them by logical argument.

This is one way the right wing gets over on us.

Remember how instrumental Lyndon Johnson's 'daisy' ad was, that showed a nuclear explosion, in the 60's? It got him elected.
He made people more afraid of nuclear war than they were of the Russians.

This is Just one of the levels we are working on with the film.


Sorry for typos - on my phone....


For more on Bernays, watch "a century of self" on YouTube - or search for LBJ daisy ad

21. I can't do spoilers, but I will say it's more Hitchcock old school than "Saw" or "Hostel"
We are just trying to appeal to those crowds as we see that those are the people that need to be reached on this issue.

I feel like those kind of movies, as well as shows like "24" work to propagandize the American people to accept torture.

16. Bowling for Columbine didn't bring stronger gun control
Fahrenheit 9-11 didn't cause Kerry to get elected. And despite Super Size Me, McDonald's is still turning a profit. Color me skeptical.

22. It's Bush's own actions that will put him behind bars. May we hound him til the day it happens.

Or not!

Who knows? This could finally break the barrier!!!

19. Bush is just like OJ. Immune for his crimes forever.
The only hope, like OJ, is that he is caught in a new crime.

27. Pardon my language, but...
I say fuck renting the movie. Go out and buy it,and help this crew to make more films like this. If you have to rent it, so be it for a lower investment in this genre.
