I just watched the film. I got a 'screener' version and yes it was "squeezed." The film is exactly what I read it was but it was much, much better and much, much more than I expected. It successfully portrays and rips the shit out of the Bush regime's policies, its outsourced war and its profiteering contractors in a superbly delightful and at the same time, gruesome way. I can see how warmongering 'patriotic' BushCo right wingers might hate it unless they're just too stooopid to 'get it'. It's a brilliant film. I highly recommend it! [snip]
