I seem to recall a series of news stories this Spring about the anti-Bush jokes and story lines that writers and producers planned to introduce in the Fall. If that's true, watch for lower viewing levels than ever. I'm just glad I stopped watching much network television. BTW, "Team America" is the sleeper in the movie bunch. "Fart-hype 911" is already over, in terms of media life; so is "Outfoxed," which hasn't made much of a public splash. Nothing against John Sayles, but his movie won't be much of a media sensation either. Very few folks know who he is. "Manchurian Candidate?" We'll see. But "Team America" is anti-Left and anti-anti-War on Terror. It's coming out less than a month before the election. It's weird 'n' wacky and profane in the South Park vein. Unless the media decide to pan it and push it aside, which is always possible, it will own the box office and the media for at least a couple of weeks. Right before the election. Should be fun! 78116@blogcritics.org Wed, 4 Aug 2004 16:10:59 EDT
