Apparently People Know Crap When They See It

……even liberals!

Tom Cruise, Robert Redford and Meryl Streep were starved out of the top 10 when the three-weekend-old Lions for Lambs took in just $1.2 million from Friday to Sunday, per Box Office Mojo stats. To date, the movie has grossed $13.8 million. Cruise, for one, hasn’t starred or costarred in a film that has made less than Lions for Lambs since he was 20 and in Losin’ It.
1. Enchanted, $35.3 million
2. This Christmas, $18.6 million
3. Beowulf, $16.2 million
4. Hitman, $13 million
5. Bee Movie, $12 million
6. Fred Claus, $10.7 million
7. August Rush, $9.4 million
8. American Gangster, $9.2 million
9. The Mist, $9.1 million
10. No Country for Old Men, $8.1 million

If I may paraphrase the plot, a guy who believes aliens live in volcanoes stars in a movie whose goal is to get America to abandon a Democracy and a war we are already winning and turn it into a defeat while trying to make themselves sound moral, intelligent, and American. Apparently Saddam’s genocide and rape rooms or Al Qaeda’s mass beheadings and Islamo-fascism is not such a bad thing and not worth fighting against and Democracy is not worth Fighting for.

I just don’t understand why the movie is not successful.

Curt, if I may please steal an image from Flopping Aces for a bit……

…..There, much better.
