Why Anti-war Films Are Bombing

Link link by LordDilly on 09 November 2007, tagged as iraq war and movies

The author thinks movie-goers are "tire" of hearing about the war- but read the comments on Breibart to get a completely different perspective on why these films are tanking.

To coin a phrase... "Worthless, Brainless, Partisan Crap" by scottb :: NR7

I read the first couple of dozen comments, and the ones that disagree with the author also uniformly use neo-con "trigger" phrases. Some conservative blogger likely commented on it and his minions all proceeded to show up and blast the thing.

The people who use that kind of ultra-negative language about Hollywood and liberal ideals don't account for a majority of Americans - they're maybe 20%. That the commenters are so uniformly foaming at the mouth indicates a bias in the comments that likely doesn't correspond to a bias in the larger community.

I haven't seen any of the movies - for pretty much exactly the reasons the reviewer gives. They look like they suck, and I get more Iraq than I can stand on TV as it is.
