Re: [MOPO] Political Movie?

[42nd Street Memories]

I appreciated the starkness of the low budget JFK assassination drama Executive Action. Underrated in my opinion.   Jerry K ----- Original Message ----- From: Lon Goldstein To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 30, 2004 11:15 AM Subject: Re: [MOPO] Political Movie? Two good ones are:   Advise and Consent -- Otto Preminger The Great McGinty -- Preston Sturges   On a side note, as a lobbyist here in DC, I can't wait until the elections are over!!   J R <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Tom,   What a sly ploy! Opening a movie-related back door to the political-discussion horror show...   While I found JFK to be even more confused than the events it attempted to portray, I loved ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN, although I'm sure there's a lot of interpretation and dramatization there and it does take just one viewpoint, but hey, it was a drama... a movie... and so it was entitled. A darn good yarn, well done, with just enough social consciousness to make you feel like your time was better spent than watching, say,  HALLOWEEN 38 - THE FINAL CHAPTER.   Of course, a discussion of favorite political movies could easily lead to someone mentioning FAHRENHEIT 9/11 and then we would be off to the races... so, no... let's not go there. That's all everyone else has been doing for the last 9 months. In some ways its been pretty cool that MOPO has been a haven from all that.   I just hope that it will be a clear cut victory so that we don't have our poor tattered and sadly-degraded democratic process completely destroyed by another court-decided election. So, whomever wins, I hope it is by a decisive number in both the popular vote and the electoral college.   And, of course,  by "whomever" I mean John Kerry!   Sorry. Couldn't resist. Call it equal time allowed in response to Diana's stunt. I will say no more.   -- JR ----- Original Message ----- From: Tom A.
