It was just on More4 in the UK, and I just got home in time to watch it on More4+1, first time I really loved the time shift channel Sky is filled with.

The film itself was pretty good, it just wasn't what I was expecting. I thought it was a fake documentary about the effect Bush's assassination would have on the world but it was more focused on the actual assassination, who did it and why. Some of the points it made were interesting and I won't go into the details for the sake of those who want to catch it at cinema in US (Oct 27th release I think) or the repeats on More4/Channel 4 in the UK but the CGI aspects of the movie were great.

The speech by Dick Cheny (sp?) at "Bushs funeral" was a great example of how real the films editing and CGI made the documentary feel.

Anyway its worth checking out if you get the chance but its a little boring and having ad breaks every 15-20 minutes didn't help.

Ironically Bush is a president I hope never gets assassinated. President Chaney is a far more frightening prospect.

Hopfully it's playing at the artrsy theater in New Orleans.

I think it's crazy that this movie would be so thoroughly quashed by the major film houses.

Ironically Cheney almost assassinated someone not 5 months ago...

People(politicians) are bitching without even seeing the movie, just like Dogma. Once they see it, they'll shut up.

They don't have to see it. Do you think the people who blame Amish school shootings on the witchcraft in Harry Potter have ever actually read Harry Potter? Such people revel in ignorance and will quite proudly proclaim that they have never read, watched or listened to whatever it is they're attacking.

I agree. BTW, welcome to the drome :cool:
