MiguelAntilsu: this is not a matter about Conservatism and movies, rather political satire and comedy in general seem to be their problem. I need only to point to the Half Hour News Hour, when the Fox News Channel thought it could compete with The Daily Show.

It doesn't look very good, but I still may see it when it's out on DVD. I'm interested in it...

Conservatism and movies: two things that don't seem to go well together.

"Educational" documentaries can be fun to watch if the filmmakers give them a comedic spin...

I'm just curious...Michael Moore recently released a new film which is available for free download on the internet...it is related to the 2008 elections, although I haven't downloaded and watched it yet...has anyone done so?...and if you haven't, would anyone like the web address for the download? I have it available and can post it here if anyone is interested.

I expected something like the ignorant Americans ranting about a kids movie, for Christ's sake, on the Internet. It's sad to see adults bashing kid's movies. 

Here's why:

 As for this movie, Beverly Hills Chihuahua looks like the far more dangerous movie this week. American Carol was hardly even advertised; I'm sure it's bad, but BHC looks to me like the lowest form of kid-pandering scum. 

People aren't bashing it just because it's a kids' movie, it's because it's pretty much on par with "Baby Geniuses". Basically, take babies, er I mean dogs, have them "talk", and by "talk", I mean just have them say modern slang terms with a dog themed twist to them, and surrounded them with a floppy excuse of a plot that will last for at least 80 minutes of screen time. Then watch as the studio heads laugh their way to the bank as parents everywhere have to sit through this as their childern don't realize the movie is made up of the some pudding that is inside their diapers. Remember, just because it's a hit, doesn't mean it isn't sh*t.

I hate to be the one to break this too you, moviewizguy, but radio talk shows, apart from the small number of stations that are affiliated with Air America are almost 100% dominated by hosts with very conservative political agendas....You know all that stuff you've ever heard about the "liberal media?" That's the biggest bunch of crap since...well, whatever the Republicans told us last week.

I would've NEVER expected that from you. I expected something much more...angry, like the ignorant Americans ranting about a kids movie, for Christ's sake, on the Internet. It's sad to see adults bashing kid's movies.

Be fair now, they could have been making a George Bush joke there.

When I first saw that video {Zucker's political comedy in a nutshell.} I thought it looked like a video made by liberals to make fun of conservative's use of fear mongering. My god Zucker is so unsubtle in his "satire"!

Also, just saw the trailer. WTF? Is the "satire" in this movie really going to come in unfunny physical/toilet humor, instead of making fun of Moore for making ridiculous assumption, duping film subjects, and making questionable claims (OK, maybe American Carol will have those jokes, but they would probably be crappily done).
Seltzerberg is back?

OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!
