Bush Assasination movie debuts in Toronto.

[StarWarsAgent]

I saw this at the Drudgereport. It's no joke. This movie is about George Bush getting killed at the start of the movie. An angry African American man kills Bush because his son has gone to iraq to fight the war. I don't know what it's about but it looks very interesting..surely, lots of controversy around the film. I heard the radio show tonite, drudge and he said people applauded and loved this movie..specially the british. I wonder if I can post a link to the article so you all don't think I'm making this up? or go to the drudgereport, there's a pic there about it right now. You are going to hear about this..all week..it's gonna be huge news..so you heard it here first.

I think I'm gonna love this film.. it looks really good.

Yeah I can't wait to see this movie..It reminds me of something I saw on the internet..it was a video..it was this kid that went outside his house and had an electronic jar jar doll..he then set it on fire but it kept moving and talking..then he put more fireworks and it and you could hear his laugh like a few feet away..this kid hated jar jar so much he video taped this and put it on the internet..

I hate Bush, so for me, this is somewhat funny like that.

Here's an article I found about it from reuters.


TORONTO (Reuters) - After you kill off President George W. Bush in a fictional film, what do you do? How about make a deal.
Gabriel Range, the British producer/director/creator of "Death of a President," the fictional documentary that sight unseen became one of the most talked-about movies of the Toronto Film Festival, has sold U.S. distribution rights to Newmarket Films, which handled Mel Gibson's equally provocative movie "The Passion of the Christ." Newmarket, which reportedly paid $1 million for the film, is expected to give "President" a wide release within the next few months. It will air on Britain's Channel 4 next month.


Range's film opened on Sunday night to a sell-out festival crowd, which sat respectfully through it and applauded briefly at the end. Those who remained after the screening peppered the filmmaker with questions on how he achieved his special effects.
The film is shot as if it were a conventional television documentary, even though the events are fictional.
Range, who also co-wrote the film, uses footage taken of Bush during three visits to Chicago to create the scenes that lead up top the president being shot.
He also uses special digital effects to superimpose the head of the president on that of an actor pretending to be shot, and he creates a flowery eulogy delivered by President Dick Cheney at the funeral of his predecessor. The movie opens with demonstrations against Bush as he visits Chicago in 2007. As he leaves a hotel after delivering a speech, he is shot by a sniper in a nearby building.

OK. But the premise doesn't really interest me. After all, it's still Bush. Why couldn't they kill Prime Minister John Howard? t:

Careful. You're treading onto very dangerous (and possibly prosecutable) territory.

Besides, assassinations are terrible, terrible things, just like riots (LA riots, etc.). It shows that some people cannot deal with things other than through violence and destruction.

I was listening to the radio & the DJ was saying how this movie was met w/thunderous applause. She found it amusing that the assassination took place here (in Chicago.)

Besides, kill him & we get Cheney. Big improvement.

Agreed. He's more frightening a prospect than Bush ever was, which is saying a whole hell of a lot.

 

[Chris Wallace]

Well, let's look at it; he was Secretary of Defense during the first Bush administration (The guy I call Papa Bush) now he's VP. Both Bushes went to war w/Iraq & bombarded us w/bull$h!t reasons for doing so. Can you imagine what HE'D do?

 

[Caliber]

Sounds like a great film, I wonder if they could make a sequal whe Cheney dies and so does the rest of the adminsration.

I don't know anything about politics, I'm kinda ignorant that way, but I'd still like to see this movie.

You & Bush have that in common.
