I saw this at work as a trailer for the Wall Street film. Thoughts on something like this hitting theaters, let alone being a trailer in a large Hollywood movie?
Also, how do we post videos on here?
I saw this a few weeks ago on the Apple website. This documentary looks so good. Do you know if it’s going to be a wide release?
I don’t really know anything about it. Our theater is odd when it comes to stuff like this. We have 16 theaters, and we get all the big stuff, and once in a while we get a movie that no one who works there knows about.
They could have easily replaced the whole cast with Ron Paul, though.
Ah- Anyone else get this vibe that this movie will end up with explaining what roles the State does have ‘legitimacy’ to? The trailer seems to take the issue as Republican/Tea Party vs. Democrat; or at least all the inserts with Reagan suggest so.
I’m also a bit worried about the fact that Newt Gingrich is in it, but I’d much rather have a movie explaining where a government is legitimate in very, very limited matters instead of having no movie at all. If this movie at least transforms a few people from supporting big government to supporting small government, it makes our job easier of convincing them to go even further with it.
It’s just a Republocrat hit-job… it features Reagan as the champion of limited government… get real. Someone in the voiceover says we have a moral duty to get involved because “it [government] does still work”… but the whole thesis of the movie is that government is broken, out of control! It features Newt Gingrich of all people, appealing to our duty to God and country?? Are they serious? This the same guy that sold the CONtract with America. The Republicans broke their goddamned contract! Send them all to hell!

Wow, a whole bunch of people who were in government when government was spending itself into deficits.
