A must-see movie for patriots (ergo, not for liberals):

[Barbella]

Lone Survivor" was adapted and directed by Peter Berg and is based on the book of the same name by Marcus Luttrell, the film's namesake survivor, and Patrick Robinson. Taylor Kitsch, Eric Bana and Ben Foster co-star in the battle saga, which averaged an impressive $13,395 on its 2,875 theaters -- more than three times better than any other movie.
In addition to the major markets, Universal's marketing targeted the Heartland and military-friendly locales including San Diego, and it connected in a major way. With author Luttrell front and center, "Lone Survivor" and its theme of heroic service to the country also drew major attention on the news circuit in the run-up to its nationwide expansion, and that plainly helped.

"It played extremely well in Middle America," Universal's distribution chief Nikki Rocco told The Wrap. "It's a sad and very tough story, but it also can make you very proud that we have these people representing our country, and I think the movie tapped into that. "

She said the movie's strength with women -- who represented 43 percent of the audience and gave it an "A+" CinemaScore -- was surprising. "It's graphic, there's no doubt about that,' she said. "That it would score so well with them is amazing."

How is pointing out that the guy who adapted the book and directed the movie is not exactly a conservative when she says that liberals shouldn't see the movie ?

Expect crickets.. that or something real stupid ;-)

My son and grandkids are watching the movie right now....
I read the book a couple years ago when my son gave it to me....I could hardly put it down! Of course the book goes into so much more detail....but the movie is great! It's incredible what those Seals go through just in their training...no normal person could handle it. Of course watching this movie while my son is in Afghanistan gave me a kind of surreal feeling.....

I don't think many Democrats would like the movie though....there's no love story involved.

Huh? So only conservatives can make movies that appeal to conservatives? And Mitt Romney is not a conservative. If he were, he would never gotten elected in Massachusetts.

Liberals hate the military, and despise violence of any kind. Their heroes are....geez, who are they....other than community organizers and "activists".....

Anyway....why WOULD they watch this movie?

No Why do you think I said that ?

No liberals can tell the difference between movies and reality. I thought conservatives could too.

They despise violence, unless it's a fetus having its skull bashed in, brains vacuumed out and all thrown away as medical waste.

 

[Saladin2]

Movie sounds pointless and idiotic...Like the whole fiasco in Afghanistan...Does everybody have to stand and sing the national anthem at the end?

Shiiiiiiiiiit. Liberals can't even tell the difference between a lie and the truth....

at least not when fellow leftists are lying to them.

whatta stupid post and poster, particularly coming from a transplanted nazi.

almost all liberals love the troops, and particularly their family and friends that serve. That's why unlike your kind, they aren't so quick to support wars like Iraq as you did.

 

[Craig]

The Iraq war will be cheap...and pay for itself with oil royalties.

Saddam has WMD.

The war will bring democracy to the Middle East

You like these lies. You base your politics and beliefs on such lies.

 

[Minotaur]

What in the world makes any of you think liberals are not in the military or not seeing the movie? I mean seriously... LOL
