r.i.p. habeas corpus

I always thought stuff like this was lame, but these are really thought provoking for alot of people so I guess its successful. I have a hard time getting over my own views politically and understanding how the majority feels about such issues.

Shock Value

Bad timing.

Ick

No one wants Dick Cheney as our president. This seems terrifying, and worthwhile, but I wonder whether it sill simply advance Bush's fear-mongering arguments.

New concept

I like the idea of mixing reality with fiction in current day. As to the subject matter it really doesn't make me feel squeemish or weird. I mean this is from Canada, how freaked out can you get about a movie with said subject matter when it is Canadians who made it? Sorry Canada, I couldn't resist.

more

I think I need more of a preview to really have an opinion how ever... assasinating Bush is a strong message of where you are coming from... he's a joke if ya ask me... but I won't get into that with such touchy people lurking around.

Grey Area

This defintely falls into my grey area. I think that any piece of speech is good, but this seems strange, I dunno. Maybe it's not that big of a deal, it's just a movie, I'll have to see it to judge it, the trailer it's self sucks, because it tells me nothing really about the message, moral or otherwise about the film.

it's hard to say...

until we see the actual movie, no? i hope i don't have to take a field trip across the boarder to do that, but i wouldn't be shocked.

Difficult to comment

I am not sure what will be the premise or storyline of the movie, but to celebrate the death of anyone alive is something that feels wrong. I know is weird but even the killing of Osama, or the celebration in Miami of Fidel’s almost death feels a bit wrong to me.

Not that ba

It does a good job, we want to know what it is exactly. But it's long, itskind of a dream for me to see bush dead... lol

walk the line

it could go either way... i've heard that it does a good job of representing both sides. the side that wants the president dead and the side that wants him assasinated.

hope this makes it to the US

I didn't even get to watch "World Trade Center" but its these types of films that will probably be very important in the history of this country. might have to go up north!
