Default America: The Movie

there is a new Dinesh D'Souza movie opening nationwide on july 2 which imagines the world if America had never won its independence and risen to be the shining beacon on the hill which has done so much for so many other nations. a great way to spend fourth of july if our theatres here will have it! check the listings as the day gets closer.

Thanks for the information. I am not much of a fan of Dinesh D'Souza but to each his own. I do hope it opens in the Villages. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/new...explore-711291

Didn't Dinesh D'Souza just plead guilty to violating campaign finance law and will be serving time in jail? It would be surprising if TV would show the movie under these circumstances.

Dinesh D
I doubt if that would matter all that much. His movies are about the flaws of other people.

Doubt it will be shown in Iraq.

he is being discredited because of his production of 2016 which some considered unfavorable to Barack Obama, when in reality it merely showed the influences under which he grew up and how they affect his world views. similar to the IRS targeting Tea Parties....but this is not a political movie nor a political thread.

It's a movie. People still have the freedom to "take it or leave it".

It will be a sad day if/when a movie is banned by government or "Big Hollywood" because its writer/producer is a political dissident serving a jail sentence.

Movies are banned from being shown in The Villages all the time because of their political leanings, as are public speakers, book signings, etc. So much for the "take it or leave it" theory. If you want to take it, you will have to travel out of this area.

IRS targeting tea parties and Bill Ayers. Hmmmmm.....strange lines for a non political thread.

Not something I am going to scratch in on my calendar but it will probably appeal to many in the Villages. It is a Lionsgate distributed movie too. We did not get any movies distributed by Lionsgate for quite some time here in the Villages. That was the reason I missed the Lincoln Lawyer the First installment of the Hunger Games trilogy and 3:10 to Yuma. This caused travel outside the Villages to see these Lionsgate films. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...ionsgate_films

The Villages (as developer and sales enterprises), movie producers, and the movie theaters are private enterprises.

They are not the "government" who could one day start locking up political dissidents to stop them from producing movies, books etc. if people blindly follow their "perfect" party right into the abyss. (There are those on both sides.)
