| Redacted - A Movie So 'Suck' That It Is 'Direct To Cable' |
| 2007-11-15 |
| (via Freep) Well I am sitting here seeing what is totally worthless to watch on HBO this evening and what pops up on HDNM(subscription hi def)but "Redacted" the new Brian DePalma - Mark Cuban agitprop movie. Scheduled for 9:15 pm or so CST. I won't be watching. But it unbelievable the effort that Hollywood will go to in order to get its anti-American trash before an audience. Bet O'Reilly is not aware of this preemptive showing as he has been all over Cuban and DePalma for this cinematic abortion for some time now. I am cancelling Direct TV myself over this deal. |

| #11 It's late to be posting this.... but I'm watching the Spuns (my favorite team) in Dallas. When the game started, there were all these green t-shirts on folks. Couldn't figure what was with the green. Then, TNT showed, before the game, the Mav's dedication to supporting the troops -- they had military folks in cammo, handing out the green t-shirt with a big D on the front and some words on the back --- in Defense of supporting the troops. A cover for Cuban -- and I would have mixed emotion about it.... but, these were US military handing out the t-shirts. ... and well, I probably would have put it on -- Cuban covering his *ss...... Sheezzzz.. Plus, O'Reilly was calling on Dallas folks to hold signs against Cuban and his movie. Only class from the Spurs... |

| #10 This movie is actually dangerous and is liable to get a lot of people killed. You want to bet it gets widely distributed in the Middle East and becomes the seed for another cartoon frenzy? Shooting is too good for these two twits. Everything was progressing too well in Iraq so they decide to throw in a monkey wrench. Here's my post on the subject.

| #9 Cuban ain't going to get it for Best Television Dance Performance, that's for sure. |

| #7 I wouldn't doubt putting it on HDNM at this point has something to do with the deadline for some television/cable award. |

| #6 It would be far more fun if they'd start executing these twits for treason. Hey, you work for the enemy, you should pay the price. No matter who you are. |

| #5 Gee, more stuff that I will never watch on TV. Keep shooting yourself in the foot, Hollyweird. You won't be around much longer. |

| #4 I'm not happy with it. Hollywood used to be something for the country to be proud of, even while being amused. |

| #3 While recognizing the movie is dangerous propaganda, I'm getting perverse pleasure in watching Hollywood slit its own throat. Just like the NYT, etc., Hollywood moguls seem intent on self-destructing. It's Darwin at his personal best. One of these days, they will wake up and realize Hey, without an audience, we're nothing! |

| #2 Hollyweird's new strategy to get round those financial roadblocks, like theaters? Well, it would remove the accounting problems when calculating |

| #1 Actually, I think all of Cuban's movies get (near?) simultaneous release on his HD channel. |
