I have friends who completed Media Studies and it is a nightmare getting them to shut the hell up in a cinema.
Forget the techniques and technology what really matters?
Stand back, take a deep breath, take another look and asses it based on the following criteria,
is it a piece of crap or not?

I am not a student.

I follow the media for political reasons.

I'm not looking for a new film to critique.

Your criteria are your criteria, not mine.

Nonetheless, I commend your detection of my "point".

As to your point, I recollect Syriana, a recent political film, netted George Clooney an Oscar nomination for his role in it.

He also produced the film.

Critics raved.

Movie-goers stayed away in droves, and those who did attend panned the film.

Was Syriana a piece-of-crap or not?

the assaination clip

I don't know if it's the link (clip seems jumpy) but it doesn't seem all that "detailed" as to it actually being bush.
Granted it is not in with the lead up and follow on that it would be with the movie but it could have been a lot worse.
It seems the shooting is mostly left to the imagination if this clip is the actual whole thing.

As I said, the clip may not be the best.

I thought Syriana was pretty good.

J2 with all the fuss you're making about it anyone would think they we're going to assassinate him for real. :rolleyes:

Hope they film it.

You think I'm making a fuss?

I'm just trying to assess opinion.

You say Syriana was pretty good.

As a stand-alone story good?

As political commentary good?

Good how?

Is it about events you could well imagine happening?

Is it about events you're sure are and have happened?

Tell me...:huh:

Well I watched it last night and it was pretty interesting. Took a while to get going though, as the more interesting part was the fallout from the shooting and the hunt for the killer.

However most interesting was Cheney's speech at the end (and Bush's speech before he was shot). I'm pretty sure neither of them had made that speech before, so how on earth did they do that? Was it bits of old speechs put together, or was it all CGI? If it was it was the best piece of CGI I've ever seen, totally seamless.

Seems like you saw what they claimed to be doing with the movie from the beginning. I will have to look it up. Sounds interesting.

aaaah the modern age.
We can now all video edit our dreams

Everything is possible in cartoons.

As Ghandhi replied when asked what he thought of "Western Civilisation: "I think it would be a good idea!"
... Luckily for America, George Bush can't stand again for president and hopefully, the "Bush", era will be behind you all soon.. So assassination won't be necessary...

Maybe they could create a sequel and include Blair and perhaps Putin...
