Anti-Bush Liberal Elitist Film Looks Doomed At The Box Office
Even critics who'll overlook the sheer awfulness of a film if they sympathize with it's message won't give it cover.
Tom Cruise is worried. Be afraid, Tom. Be very afraid.
Those condescening we’ll-tell-you-what-to-think faces; those all-knowing imperial stares no sane movie star would ever consider showing in public; those eyes capable only of revealing a shroud of sanctimony as cover to hide the nothing shallowness and pathetic ego beneath; the smug looks of those desperate for applause at award ceremonies no one watches anymore because, thanks to their faces, we all know what they think of us.Note to Hollywood: Entertain us and we will come. We're tired of pedantic screeds that aren't even well-made.

He should be afraid. He's gotten a reputation now of being a complete weirdo. He and Michael Jackson ought to hook up.

My favorite is reading the "positive" reviewes.
"Certainly not one of his best films, but one of his bravest..."
Ah yes, brave like George Clooney. Watch out for the Cloud of Smug to float this way.

Robert Redford? Is he still spending his weekends in Cuba fellating Castro? Or is he looking for a new thug to worship?

Hmmm...
Anti-US message so blatant as to be preachy? Check
Big-name has-beens with delusions of relevance?
Check
Critical and box office flop, but the correct leftist viewpoint?
Check
Boys, we got us an Oscar winner right here.
