Movies

There are no relevant star bonds to attach. These boil down to editorials masquerading as facts. Those are some of the arguments for why

bothering...and yet, they do impact the box office. I tried to watch the Obama one and was not impressed much. But you know, I had to watch Triumph of the Will. Leni Riefenstahl was an important filmmaker. Maybe Dinesh D'Souza will one day be studied...probably more in poli sci courses rather than film courses.  Errol Morris is more my style of documentarian. 

In the end, I think if Uwe Boll has no star bond and his films are only listed if they have relevant star bonds, then there is a precedent for ommitting D'Souza and his films. Want it listed, have D'Souza put a star bonded celebrity as narrator!  =)

We want Hilary Clinton movies ipo. {nm} mike255 Jul 24, 15:03

According to ERC it made 3.7 million in wide release. But hey! The Lovers and the Despot IPO's tomorrow!!! {nm} DanU Jul 24, 15:16

There wasn't an IPO for the Obama movie he made 4 yrs ago so I wouldn't expect one for this movie {nm} JDolphin Jul 24, 16:45

I have no skins in this game, but... TwoMisfits Jul 24, 17:11

There are always some films the game overlooks: unusual release patterns, IMAX-only documentaries, other niche market films (Hindi films). second gary Jul 24, 17:47

True, and there always will be movies that miss the cut. I can't recall a wide release in the top 10 ever not being listed though. shadowking Jul 24, 17:55

That appeals to the completist in me but if the movie has already opened wide, there's not much saleable data that HSX can generate from an RogerMore Jul 24, 18:09

What saleable data does HSX get from post-open $1 IPO's like CWAR2? None. It's a completest move for starbonds. shadowking Jul 24, 18:40

I think you have to be completist with starbonds, but that's a solid point. {nm} RogerMore Jul 24, 20:18

I agree it's pointless now...but if he makes a 4th movie, I don't see how it can be excluded anymore... TwoMisfits Jul 24, 19:57

Although it's probably not fair to give it to what half the people think is pure lying attack propaganda {nm} islander Jul 24, 20:08

Yeah, but we don't tend to exclude "offensive" movies... TwoMisfits Jul 24, 20:15

Just ask Michael Moore. :-) {nm} Flash Jul 25, 07:54
