In case you were wondering, people who make movies still hate George W. Bush and think he’s the worst President in the whole wide universe and then some. What a shocker, right? To absolutely no one’s surprise, “a panel of international critics gave their prize to the controversy-ready documentary-style fiction Death of a President, which depicts the assassination of President George W. Bush.” Would you like to know more?
This from E! Online:
Death of a President, a fictional news special from British director Gabriel Range, took the International Critics Award even though the panel’s presenter admitted the film was “irritating” to watch.
Range said the film was his “reflection” on America in the aftermath of the horrors of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, but didn’t quite explain what reflections he hoped people would take away from his controversial film. What Range did take away, however, was a reported $1 million distribution deal with Newmarket Films, which also handled Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ.
Oh, those wacky Brits.
Hollywood and movie people should just get over their soul-sucking hatred of George W. Bush. The guy has only two years left in his term, and once he leaves office, who are they gonna blame for everything from the rain in Spain to farts smelling so gosh darn bad? I say thank your lucky stars you get to blame everything wrong in your life on Dubya, kids.
As my pappy always says, “Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth, or else it might drop kick you in the head.” Or somesuch. Pappy was never really that clear, now that I think about it…
