RM? You are aware that Republicans like you and yourself are making this movie popular? If you keep complaining about how controversial the movie is, it makes people say "Hmmm....what is this movie that has people in an uproar?" and they want to see it. The only person making it popular is you.
Not to mention, I don't understand this bussiness of it's only bothering you cause he is currently president. Are you saying seeing him get killed when he is out of office is ok?

I think people are just scared of the presidents mortality.
It's a fictional prediction of the near future. Like a George Orwell book. Or any other movie.
If someone really wanted to assassinate the president, I'm sure they would do it anyway. Reguardless of whether someone had made the movie or not.
I'm just disappointed that I can't see it due to our TV's limitations.

How does watching a movie about something make you want to do it? That arguement has been applied to videogames, and proved false.

It's like saying The Matrix cause Columbine... And I'm no fan of banning that. I dislike the movie on assasinating Bush, but I can't see making it illegal.

Anyone read the synopsis. It sounds like some far left crazy prediction. The US becomes a police state. I don't like the sound of the movie anymore, but ill still watch. They should have done a realistic view of what would happen is Bush was killed. Not some crazy police state thing.
| Quote: | Synopsis
In October 2007, President of the United States George W. Bush is assassinated by a hidden shooter on his way out of a Chicago hotel, in front of which an anti-war rally is being held. A man of Syrian origins, Jamal Abu Zikri, becomes the number one suspect. Three years later, a documentary filmmaker presents a movie about what the United States has become since the assassination.
The Syrian Jamal Abu Zikri possibly sympathetic to Jihad was initially suspected as the assassin. Dick Cheney, after being elevated to the position of President, uses the possible al-Qaeda connection of the suspect to push his own agenda. He calls for a Patriot Act 3, suspends most civil liberties and for military action against Syria. An already grotesque world situation keeps growing tesquer.
Eventually, the movie revealed that the perpetrator is a black American, a father of a soldier who had died on duty in Iraq. The assassin blames Bush for the death of his son. He shoots the President, then himself. The killer's suicide note reads: "There's no honor in standing for an immoral country. George Bush killed our David and I can't forgive him." So it turns out that the assassination was entirely personal. |

Disgusting, incredibly disgusting. Words cannot express how vile this is. And I'm sorry, CJ, but if you watch this movie, you will have lost an incredible amount of my respect for giving this film the dignity that it does not deserve. I'm sorry to say it, but that is what will inevitably happen.
Anyways, looks like what I understood of this situation was incorrect.
The film has found a distributor in the US and will be coming to theatres sometime soon here in the country, which is disgusting to me. I can't stand it. Not so sure on whether or not it should be silenced anymore, but it's incredibly vile and horrifying.
Anyone who sees this film--particularly in theatres--ought to be ashamed, I'm just gonna say it.

Okay, yeah, it's your right to give this film the dignity of your viewership which it doesn't deserve, but I wouldn't do it if I was promised that Ronald Reagan would be resurrected and I could have lunch with him and George Lucas, and get fifteen trillion dollars afterwards.

I care, because your giving it dignity it doesn't deserve, whether it's gaining monetary benefit from it or not. These producers are evil and the film is evil, plain and simple. The creators of this are as bad as it gets.

Clearly it will be so, as all the info is showing. I'd rather watch F9/11 fifteen hundred times before I see this film, and V for Vendetta 25 times after that, another film I refused to see. I only saw F9/11 for debate purposes. This is one film I will not give the dignity of my viewership to or my money, not at all.
These filmmakers ought to be ashamed for themselves, they really should be. What idiots. What idiots.

Did you not read my comment a few posts back?
| Quote: | | Not so sure on whether or not it should be silenced anymore, but it's incredibly vile and horrifying. |
But yes, if this weren't allowed I'd just smile and go on about my business happily. It's a vile, disgusting film and the most vile film I've ever heard of.
I still believe that if this were an American-made film the creators would at the very least be investigated, as rightly they should.

You'll lost respect for people if they watch this movie? Way to garner support for the cause...
As I said earlier, you're only helping the movie by saying things like that.

Nope. Especially not now. This is beyond F9/11.

Yes, I will, and nothing I say's garnering support for the cause anyways, so why not state fact since that's not working anyways? Little old RM saying things like that isn't helping the movie, too. All my voice goes to is a few people who read WN on this site and stuff.

Look at the post above yours RM. It's you and other Republicans like you that are freaking out about this movie that makes others want to see it. Same thing with the Dem. complaining about that show on ABC. It makes people want to see it. You ARE helping the movie.

Maybe other Conservatives and Republicans are, but clearly little old RM is doing little. I see your point, but just because it gives more ad time to it doesn't mean the injustice should go unreported.

Indeed, you talking about it RM, is why I have even heard about it. Injustice unreported? it's just a movie, sitting president or not, it's just a movie. It's people reacting like this, that make the movie get seen/do well. The whole "Controvery" outcry makes people WANT to see it.
