nagpants 1 Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 Saw movie Wag the Dog last night - very interesting. Recommended...check it out! Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 I thought it was crap, actually. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Never seen it - isn't that where they make up a war to get a sex scandal prez re-elected? Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 The film itself was pretty crap, but as a portrayal of politics through media manipulation, it sadly appears to have been spot on. The fabrication of hee-row has strong parallels with a certain young lady who doesn't remember anything about her time in Iraq Link to post Share on other sites
MistaSparkle 0 Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Ocean - nail on the head... Unfortunately the genius of brainwashing and media manipulation is that when it's succesful, people don't realize it's happening. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Crap movie, but love the "hero" song - it was done as a joke, but I've heard guests on Fox News once or twice singing almost carbon copies of it. Sad people. (Or happy as the case may be) Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 I watched this one last night, thought it pretty poor. De Niro looked like he wanted to be somewhere else. Nice Willie Nelson song though Link to post Share on other sites
DumbStick 13 Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 I watched Primary Colors last night, very entertaining. John Travolta "doing" a very very Clinton-like Pres candidate trying to run away from allegations of shagging and more shagging. Travolta was Clinton from the first second you see him. Worth a view Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 I remember that one - Travolta was really good in that. Link to post Share on other sites

xxx 2 Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Starts off better than it ends, but worth a watch. Link to post Share on other sites
KlingKlang 1 Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 I really liked that one. Travolta was excellent. Link to post Share on other sites
