anybody see "masters of horror" on showtime friday night?..."Homecoming"...
""In a Village Voice review we learn of Joe Dante’s new project:" Homecoming", in which soldiers return from the dead to demand impeachment. The Voice’s Dennis Lim calls it “easily one of the most important political films of the Bush II era.” .....
“This is a horror story because most of the characters are Republicans,” director Joe Dante announced before the November 13 world premiere of his latest movie, Homecoming, at the Turin Film Festival. Republicans, as it happens, will be the ones who find Homecoming’s agitprop premise scariest: In an election year, dead veterans of the current conflict crawl out of their graves and stagger single-mindedly to voting booths so they can eject the president who sent them to fight a war sold on “horsesh*t and elbow grease.”
Real events were indeed catching up with Homecoming before it was completed. “It was only when we started shooting that Cindy Sheehan emerged,” Dante says. “It was weird, because everybody said [of the war mother character], ‘Oh, you based that on Cindy Sheehan!’ It was just a coincidence, but I guess it was inevitable that somebody like that would show up.”
..it was amazing....
""Night of the Living Dumb".....lol
