I know, I know, I should have seen it sooner, but with small kids we do not get out to the cinema often. Again, WOW, what a film--and talk about timely!

1. Yeah, really strikes home.
Too bad there's no one in media that can stand up now.

2. I'm about to pop it in the DVD player...
Saved it for after the Protest today. A fitting end to a great day of dissent! :)

7. Liveoaktx, AP carried one photo from Portland of the torture
victim superimposed on a flag. I'll watch the local news at 10 PM to see if anything comes up.

We had grandchildren with us today so we went to see "Robin Hood" performed in Gresham, Oregon! But isn't the message the same? We want to rob (those White House bastards) the rich to give to the poor!

5. You will enjoy it Viva
I have watched the dvd two times since last Tuesday already, and I saw it in the theaters too.

I sat, slack jawed, after the second time ... wondering who and how would we stop them this time.

9. It's a great movie
You're sure to like it.

Thanks to you and the other DUers in Portland for representing...this was the first really big Portland protest I had to sit out (bad knee, Mom still in the hospital) but I know that good ol' Stumptown always turns out against the Bush Crime Family. :hi:

6. I watched it this weekend too
It was a very good movie and very relevant today. The only thing is that it could have given some more background info.

10. The bonus material on the DVD was quite sparse...
It would have been great to have a documentary on Murrow with the DVD
