So who is interested in seeing this movie?

What percentage of truth would you put on the movie?

Will it affect your vote in any way?

So Michael Bay is taking Hillary's work of fiction and "Hollywoodizing" it to make it more fictional?

Seems like a waste of time. Just enjoy it for the CGI and the explosions, no historical value to be seem here. :coffee:

Yes, I saw it at a private screening and I was going to vote for Hillary, now I'm not. It was very accurate and very condemning.

Sadly, as with most "true" stories, the truth is a better story than the hugely modified drivel that comes out of Hollywood.

I watched part of "A Bridge Too Far" the other night. I don't know if it was even based on a true story or how accurate it was, but that was good movie.

All of my DOS colleagues who are liberal (thats pretty much all of them) that i am facebook friends with are moaning about the accuracy of the movie based on reviews they've read, and how it is unprecedented (unprecedented, I tell you!) how they made a movie that reflects poorly on a President who is still in the White House

So in their comments section I couldnt help but throw in "W" and then stood back to watch the fireworks

one even unfriended me heh

Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004)
This movie, however, looks beyond the inner echelons of General Motors and Lockheed Martin in hopes of outing the evildoers in the White House, particularly in regards to the 43rd President of the United States, George W. Bush.

Come on, where's the history learning any more in this country. That was based on Operation Market Garden, Montgomery's foolhardy mission, which took away much needed gasoline from Patton who was accomplishing something, that didn't really do much in the grand scheme of things in WWII. With that said, of course parts of it were fictionalized and yes, it's a good movie.

We were taught that we won the Civil War. In your face, North :lol: I keed.

Even the channels have drifted dramatically. It used to be decent programming, but it sucks now. I have more channels than ever and seemingly less to keep my attention.
History Channel - Pawn Stars, Ancient Aliens, American Pickers
Discovery Channel - Mythbusters, Moonshiners
MTV - Teen Mom, Jersey Shore, 16 and Pregnant

It was very true, Montgomery had the biggest screw up of war.

I love how people call this a typical Hollywood movie...
Micheal Bay is a staunch Republican and a fanatical Patriot

He IS right wing propaganda in the flesh

He is called "Hollywood's Conservative Hero" by the likes of Hannity and Team Fox

So? What does that have to do with the fact that Hollywood can't seem to take a true story and make a TRUE movie?

So it IS a typical Hollywood movie, just on an uncommon end of the spectrum.
