No ACORN was just the start of the non-profit witch burning. It's just too late now anyway. There aren't too many undecideds left. That movie "W" probably cleaned up the rest.

Has anyone here seen "W" or know anyone who has seen "W"? It's a movie that I don't understand. Not the plot (I haven't seen it) but simply the fact that it was made in the first place.

I'm a Bush hater, and I have no desire to see this movie. From the ads, it appears to make Bush seem like a moron, so I'd guess that Bush lovers (if there are still any left) wouldn't be interested in seeing it either. There are a few moderate swing voters here, do any of you have interest in seeing "W"?

I'm just am amazed that they made this movie. I would be surprised if anyone goes to see it. I predict it will lose a lot of money.

A strong turnout by liberals, meanwhile, put "W.," the biography of President Bush, in fourth place, with $10.6 million in sales. Studio polls showed 55% of the audience called themselves liberals and 31% identified themselves as moderates. Only 14% of the audience said they were conservative.

While drawing more liberals than conservatives, the film was released across the country in diverse markets. "Attendance was strong in both red and blue states," said Steve Rothenberg, president of domestic distribution for the film's distributor, Lionsgate.

I don't get it. I understand it is a hit piece, but why? Why spend the millions and millions to make it? Why spend $10-20 to go see it?

I don't get it either. You would literally have to pay me to watch it.
