All You Have To Do Is Go

I know we’ve done other posts on this subject, but bear with me for a second.
A few weeks ago, BFH, Hippie Critic, Pinko, and I were looking at the theater listings for this movie. At the time it was a very small list, and in fact, only one of us would have the chance to see it. I emailed the lucky one and said, “Go see it for all of us because there ain’t a chance in hell this thing is ever coming to my blue New England state.”
That was then.
This movie is way too good to contain. A few days ago I checked the listings again, and lo and behold, not only was it showing in my state, it was showing all over my state! I would have driven many miles to see it but only had to go 15 minutes to my local theater. Mrs. Curtain and I went last night, and couldn’t believe that it was actually running in two theaters simultaneously in the same complex!
You will not be disappointed. I’ve been a fan of D’Souza for many years and have several of his books. He’s a brilliant storyteller, and this film is masterfully written, shot, directed, and edited. It’s so important that you go. We’re always complaining that our message is the right one but that our messengers always fall short.
Well, here, finally is the message presented they way it ought to be presented, so get yourself to the theater to support it. If times are tough, call a few pals and carpool but get there! The filmmakers have done all the heavy lifting, including sticking their necks out big time.
All you have to do is go. (And now you really can “check your local listings”)

    D’Souza. Didn’t he compose Stars And Stripes Forever?

    But really, this film took off like wildfire the past few days.

    I talked to my dad this morning. His coffee buddies
    and him went to the afternoon matinee yesterday to see this movie. He said the lines were packed and their wasn’t an empty seat in the theatre. At the end of the film, everyone stood up and applauded. EVERYONE!!! And this is in a smaller city in upstate NY.
    Giddy up folks , Christmas is coming in November.

    Yes Sir Mr Curtain. Although I still don’t have ticket fare. Perhaps I’ll pretend I’m an OWS Progtard and invite my Father to go see it, and then when we get there tell him I don’t have any money and ask if he’ll pay for mine! He OWES me anyway right? He MADE me come into this world, so He and it owe me a living…and maybe a movie!!!

    Like you guys, I checked a couple of weeks ago, and it wasn’t anywhere around here.

    I checked the listings again in my deep-blue New England state, and lo, not only is it all over the place – it’s at a mall within three miles (where one of the few Chick-Fil-A restaurants are)!

    Yes, it’s a good film. BUT: for those of us who like to keep up on things (unlike the occasional undecided voter), please know that the first HOUR of the film is virtually dedicated to background of Obama via Dreams From My Father” travels and interviews.”…which is fine…just that the last half-hour of the film is SO chock-filled with good stuff and moves SO quickly in comparison, you won’t want to miss it with a popcorn or bathroom run.

    We saw the movie on Monday night. While I had watched the previews, which were all of very good quality, I was amazed at the overall quality of the whole film. My strongest impression was how absolutely beautiful and exotic this movie was. You don’t expect so much in that area from a political documentary, but they did such a great job in making this movie a real piece of art. It deserves Oscar attention. Will it get it? What do you think?

    Besides that, I was very pleased with the sensitivity D’Souza used in bringing his message across. This is not the “strident” “propaganda” that the left claims it is in reviews. It is a documentary that actually documents facts (unlike Michael Moore’s manipulative editing tricks), and there is very little material presented that can be called out-and-out speculation. There are parts that are quite moving (for me, the part on Obama’s brother), and my husband said it actually made him feel sorry for Obama at times. One woman said on Facebook she considered it child abuse, how these leftists took advantage of a vulnerable, fatherless boy to ply him with their creepy ideologies. Indeed.

    Go, see the movie, go, go, go. I can’t wait to see it again!

    I don’t need to see a film like this to know it’s racially racist and you all are full of racist racisms to have even seen it. I refuse to see a film trumpeted by racists, you racists. Now get guilty, whitey. Hear me? GET GUILTY, RACIST WHITEY!

    Saw it a couple weeks ago when it was difficult to find a theater in the OC showing it. The movie is now being played all over – & not just in the “art/’off the wall’” venues. Everyone is talking about it. Gives me hope.

    And gorgo, you’re a racist idiot.

    Hmmm I wonder if it will get a nomination for Best Documentary at the Oscars? I imagine that there are more than a few Hollywood producers that are looking at the receipts for this film and either pissing their pants or thinking about making some changes in what we’ll be watching next year. I mean they may be lefties but they are more committed to the buck.
    I’m also waiting for comments from Michael Moore. That ought to be rich, after all he’s one of the 1%.

    I just got back from watching it. The theater I saw it in was 1/2 to 2/3 full, mostly middled aged and older but a few older kids and families. This is a very sobering film. I believe it needs to seen by as many American people as possible. I don’t want to live in Obama’s America if he is God forbid reelected. There’s no telling what Obama might do then and none of it is good. What an evil man! There were times watching this when I wanted to shout out loud about how much I disdain I have for Obama and his warped worldview. Very well done,it needs to continue to be shouted from the roof tops just how big a menace Obama is to America and the entire world. And Obama’s half brother George is a far better man than Barry ever will hope to be ever.

    Just got back from seeing it. Packed!

    The Ad before the movie had a funny bit at the end, this kid says, “And, oh, the movie you’re about to see? It was all a dream”, and the place erupted when the guy in front of me said loudly, “Yeah, for the last 3 and 1/2 years”!

    @Name Redacted, my friend said the same thing about how non-confrontational it was. He was very fair and didn’t use any inflammatory speech – just the truth. Of course, the progs think that the truth is inflammatory so of course they won’t like it.

    “2016: Obama’s America”–Antidote to Obama’s MSM

    It’s very satisfying when others affirm what you think, say, and write. At the same time, it’s very unsettling when what you think, say, and write reveals that the current resident at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, D.C. is as dangerous a fraud as he is a mystery to the American people.
    We know for certain that Barack Hussein Obama is the man behind the newly-famous Reuters photo because his face is obscured by a teleprompter screen and we also know this president rarely speaks without the aid of a teleprompter to tell him what to say.

    Obamians are incensed over Reuters’ publication of the picture because it graphically suggests Obama, who has been billed as a brilliant constitutional scholar, may actually be a block-headed, over-achieving ideologue committed to changing the nation into something few Americans supported last time around and fewer support this time around.

    Just wait until the Obama team collectively ramps up its scripted indignation over a film few if any of them will ever see yet all of them will rip to shreds as partisan Republican trash anyway because, well, because that’s what they’re trained and paid to do and what the DNC orders them to.

    “2016: Obama’s America”, a film described by Scott Paulson of CBSDFW as “disturbingly necessary”, is based on Dineesh D’Souza’s 2010 best seller The Roots of Obama’s Rage. Those deep roots and that seething rage are shown to govern his every thought and every policy. Playing in only a third of the theaters “Expendables 2″ is being shown, “2016: Obama’s America” is giving Stallone’s flick a run for the top spot for current movies.

    And, Obama can’t blame Bush.

    Seeing the movie and reading the book before November 6th will be a disturbing experience for anyone concerned over America’s future. It is an absolutely mandatory experience for any readers or viewers who believe things are all but perfect in the nation now and will be positively idyllic by 2016. Both the film and the book are also disturbingly necessary to counter the pervasive propaganda fed to us by the president’s mainstream media.

    We should finally put to rest the ancient canard that the MSM is . . .
