Psst! "Wag The Dog" is on!
Edited on Mon Aug-15-05 02:51 PM by displacedtexan
Edited because I'm an idiot.

Encore movie channel.

Why, when I own it, do I always watch it when it's on?

2. Bless your heart!!!!
I'm hardly a daytime TV viewer, but I just lunged for the remote, and it's on now, so THANK YOU for the heads-up.

Listen, I do the same with "Grosse Pointe Blank" and "The Bourne Identity." We own the DVDs, and have never watched them, but everything stops when those two flicks show up.

Thanks again.

3. I love "Grosse Pointe Blank!"
I have it memorized. Do you have "Nada" omelets at your house, too?

4. The most favorite scene ever ...............
After Martin kills the assassin up against the lockers, and Spericki comes by, did you ever notice that he never asks what happened? He just helps Martin dispose of the body.

That's been my standard for loyalty all my life, I swear.

It's a perfect movie. Perfect.

(I am loving "Wag The Dog.")

6. The music is hilarious!
It's a 1997 film, BTW.

Thanks for posting your opinion.

7. My post was an effort in irony.
I know the MOVIE has been on since 1997. I've seen it. It was really good. What I was trying to convey is that we have been LIVING it since 2000. And in real life, it sucks.

Here's the movie's synopsis (short for sake of brevity):

"Before elections, a spin-doctor and a Hollywood producer join efforts to "fabricate" a war in order to cover-up a presidential sex scandal."

Minus the sex scandal, it's eerily similar, dont' you think?\

SOrry for the confusion.

8. Oooooooooooooooh!
Sorry! I'm having one of those "Backside Of The Bell Curve" kind of days. I would blame the Zyrtec (which makes me feel like I'm walking on an air mattress), but sometimes I just plain miss clever responses.
