The wingers are clicking their heels this morning, as the documentary2016: Obama's America, based on the widely condemned works of pretend scholar troll Dinesh D'Souza, hit number 8 at the weekend box office!
Even Vlad Putin is waiting for the re-election, so he and Bamz can get down to unilaterally disarming the US. (Although he'll be disappoined when we hand over control to the UN.)
i once was home at my folks' house and found that d'souza book (mom fuflans used to be a canadian socialist. now she listens to the WSJ).
mr fuflans and i removed it (with glove on) immediately and dumped it in a trash can somewhere in a chicago forest preserve.
pnd: Teasing the right wing nutz over on Amazon (see the reviews and comments for "The Amateur") I ask that question. They quote "neo-colonial" or somesuch term as if it actually had meaning.
So far, no one has been able to explain it. "Anti-colonial?" That's a bad thing here in the US of A?
There's an interesting theory in "The Japanese Art of War" that after the West forcibly opened trade with that nation, it looked at the way we did things and said "OK - Empire it is."
For the next hundred years Japan built an Empire with colonies and all the rest. Following the Western model. And that, kids, is how we came to fight WW II in the Pacific...
$9M is the "cum" - since it opened several weeks ago. Another $100M or so and it will catch up to Michael Moore's 2004 documentary.
Last Friday night it sold $2.2M in 1,091 theaters. At an average price of $7.50 a pop, fewer than 270 people saw it.
Son, movies never net a dime. That's the first rule of Hollywood accounting.
Professionals take their points "above the line." If you are offered a cut of the net, you are being taken for a fish. And you will be took.
This spring I showed my students a few minutes of that epic when we were looking at American popular culture- they were shocked and stunned by the degree of racism. We couldn't bear to watch any more than that.
They're selling the Kool Aid at the concession booth, along with the giant tub o' popcorn with extra "buttery" topping.
Honey Badger don't care.

Something something Republican.

Michelle Manikin thinks it was a good thing the Japanese-American citizens were interred during World War II.
In camps - not in the ground.

I don't think "2016" is going to have big ticket sales overseas.

Sorry!
No Clue.

And don't forget all the shit they just made up and added in while copying it by hand, because it sounded good, right?
White-on-white colonialism = bad; white-on-blah colonialism = burdensome civilizing duty, etc.
