Valerie Plame, Joe Wilson story 'Fair Game' failed at the box office

Finally, some good news in the St. Pete Times.

[SERKIT]

Fiction.

[AppyPappy]

It kept reminding people of the horrible Bush years when we had jobs.

[Red Badger]

[Daveinyork]

Maybe a movie that told the truth would sell better.

[Da Coyote]

The movie was about as true as an Obamaloon speech.

And Valerie Plame was - and is - a bimbo.

And her husband is even dumber than the loon, if that’s possible.

[Dr. Ursus]

A couple of D.C. grifters!

[TexasCajun]

... The information was allegedly leaked to Novak by White House officials

That's some really great reporting.

and the combined total barely covered the movie's $22 million production budget.

For a propoganda film to break-even, that's actually pretty good. Probably better than its producers even expected.

[paulycy]

Cue the HA-HA guy.

[CaptainK]

It failed because now a days people like to see their fairytales in 3D.

I dont reallly know this story, I wasnt really paying that much attention to world events like I do now. My point being the people who see this will consider it as truth and not know what really went on.

[Vigilanteman]

Valarie Plame's 15 minutes of fame expired more than three years ago.

And while loons may be dumb, they sing beautifully.

FWIW, I saw Plame's hardcover book on sale at the local dollar store. I gave it a pass since rubber doorstops sell at the same store for a dollar, come in a pack of two and make less of a footprint.

Hollywood manufactures LEFTIST PROPAGANDA and then wants us to pay for it. No thanks.

[Yo-Yo]

The information was allegedly leaked to Novak by White House officials to discredit her husband, Joseph Wilson

Which was disproven.

[DManA]

This we know is a complete lie:

allegedly leaked to Novak by White House officials to discredit her husband,

But you would believe from this story this is the historically viable theory of what happened. Maybe nobody went to the move because they knew is was just another Big Media lie fest.

[Amagi]

Obviously fantasy yarns have saturated the movie viewing public’s options.

[DAC21]

Marketing and Distribution puts it back into the red, although video may save it.

Sean Penn.... reason number 1 not to see the movie

[Venturer]

I don’t go to the movies much. Once in the last ten years.
But if I did go it woulnd’t be to see anything Sean Penn was starring in.
