If you live in New York or Los Angeles. Unfortunately John Cusack's "War, Inc." is opening this weekend in only two theaters. The Angelica in New York and the Landmark in Los Angeles. It is a hilarious satire on corporatism and war with Cusack and Dan Ackroyd playing a Dick Cheney like character. Cusack was interview on Thom Hartmann's show this morning in the second hour and said he has fought an uphill battle to get it in theaters. Seems out "liberal" Hollywood has fallen in line with the fascists even telling him the war is still going on and the film inappropriate. You can hear the interview here: http://green960.com/pages/podcasts.html Click on Thom Hartmann "audio archives" and the May 23rd second hour podcast. I'm surprised that "Green 960" didn't arrange for a special showing as they do with other films (even more controversial).
Of course I would also say he picked a bad weekend to open what with the theaters booking the latest (and worst reviewed) Indiana Jones film into multiple auditoriums as a cash cow and the sheep I'm sure will fill those auditoriums up (hey, I'll even check it out next week at a matinee up the hill while the kids are in school and adults at work so I'll get a good seat).
