Okay, this is why I rarely get into it with criddic, because his font of faulty knowledge is so full, it'd take a lifetime to correct him. Republicans ALWAYS outraise Democrats, usually by substantial margins. (That's what happens when you're whores for huge corporations) Dean's fund-raising has cl...

Ah, vindication so quickly for those of us who questioned ABC/Wash. Post's rushing out that hack-job of a poll. When you follow the normal rules of polling, the 67% approving mysteriously drops to 41% -- which would appear to be more than margin of error. New Newsweek poll: A majority of Americans ...

The number we've all (except criddic) been waiting for. I never thought he could go this low. President Bush's job-approval rating has fallen to its lowest mark of his presidency, according to a new Harris Interactive poll. Of 1,003 U.S. adults surveyed in a telephone poll, 29% think Mr. Bush is do...

Tee, wouldn't the Keys system have predicted Gore winning by a failry comfortable margin in 2000? Actually, no; it had him right at 5 negatives, which is one short of defeat. If you're interested, the five were: Incumbency (The candidate not being the sitting president is a negative) Major Policy C...

Okay,a few things: criddic and Damien are both right -- Bush's numbers did, technically, rebound, but only after the election had passed, which was meaningless, and sentimental in just the way Damien indicates. (Similarly, some time after Ed Koch lost the NY mayoral primary in 1989, voters revised ...

BUT, you know that will still be good news for McCain who will win easily in 2008 by placing himself as a non-threatening but deceptively (and falsely) noble answer to Bush's mess. A wet dream for those conservatives and moderates now disenchanted with Bush but not willing to embrace whatever polar...

In case anyone didn't notice, this movie took a fair-sized tumble at the box-office last weekend, and, with a final gross no higher than 30-35 million, is likely out of best picture contention. Best director remains a solid hope, though year-end critics' awards might need to offer some support. Int...

For some reason, I've been unable to access this thread for the past several days, or I would have responded sooner. BJ, though my response to the film may be a bit stronger than yours, I know what you're saying here. In a way, it's like what we both felt about Good Night and Good Luck last year, t...

Well, count me impressed. This is a one-of-a-kind film. Most of us bring emotional associations to the subject that do some of the filmmaker's work for him (one wonders how an ignorant audience years hence might differ). On the other, we -- at least I -- make demands in return: if there were to be ...

Four stars from Gene Seymour in Newsday; another four (for what they matter) from James Berardanelli. Raves from Edelstein in New York, Denby in The New Yorker. This film is by a country mile the most praised of the year so far, and by any rational standard should become an instant Oscar contender....

And The Hollywood Reporter. Quality is apparently not at issue. I agree with the Variety point: people have already watched other recreations, so why shouldn't this be successful enough? Many objected to the trailer, because there they had no choice -- they'd sat down to watch Inside Man, and had h...
