Forums - General - An American Carol vs. W which movie will make more money?

Politics and movies - usually don't mix very well.

First up we have "An American Carol", a David Zucker (Airplane) film - making fun of Michael Moore.

Then we have "W", an Oliver Stone film about President George Bush.  (never been a movie about a sitting president).

I believe Oliver Stone is a liberal but I respet his films though he hasn't really made any winners lately.

I'm not sure about David Zucker's politics but I do enjoy his films.

I believe "An American Carol" will make more money just because it is a comedy but i don't know if any liberals will go see the movie.

"W" dosen't interest me at all!  Why not make a movie about Ronald Reagan?  We know what Bush did for last 8 years so . . .

What do you think?  Will you see either one?

I'm planning to see "An American Carol" cause I watch most of David Zucker's film.  His best for me is

"Kentucky Fried Movie" -  hilarious.

I agree, An American Carol will probably do better...W just looks moronic.

W. will make more money because it will interest both liberals and conservatives because it's about a sitting president. Oliver Stone says it has surprises for both Bush-lovers and Bush-haters.

An American Carol is one-sided attack on the left, which should limit its audience. The protagonist is based on Michael Moore, as a liberal filmmaker "who hates America" obviously just like the real Michael Moore. It also has jokes like "what if 9/11 was done by nuns?" Obviously brilliant.

I'll see W. in theaters, and I'll see An American Carol some day in the future, but I'm not too excited. I haven't seen a good Zucker film in ages. More than both though, I'm pumped for Religulous. I gotta go see that soon.

 

EDIT: Besides, worldwide more non-Americans will be interested in a George Bush movie than an anti-far-left movie.



Im picking the lame duck, he looks so stupid its actually going to be funnier than anything zucker has done recently.

New trailer for W is out and it really does look exciting, dramatic and hopefully realistic.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Probably W, although both look pretty entertaining.

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.

Nah, dude, I had a blank post a few days ago.  That trumps a one letter post.

An American Carol bombed yesterday. Religulous almost beat it even though it's playing at 1/3 theaters.
