Dickie Pilager
A new character enters the political system in America. His name is Dickie Pilager and he stands for family, the great out doors and values.He’s also fictional.
Go see the site to the new movie inspired by the 2000 election and what happened in Florida. I don’t know if the movie is any good, but it makes fun of Bush and is satirical, so it has a lot going for it in my book.
The site is not hilarious, but funny enough and the movie has been dubbed, along with Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 and the day after tomorrow, as Hollywood’s contribution to the Kerry campaign by Rupert Murdoch’s Fox news (which, in turn, is a bastion for the right).

Symbol,
The filmmaker (writer, director, editor) of this movie is John Sayles, a native of Schenectady, New York (where I live). This is not, unfortunately, one of his strongest films.
He was in town on Saturday for the "upstate [New York] premiere," so I heard him speak, watched him receive three awards and watched the movie. The movie had its points, but it was a cinematic mess: too much story for too little point, political but not biting at all, implausible story lines (tho, of course, the world is full of those), and a weak main actor.
There was a small crowd of protestors outside the theater. Quite humorous. I laughed.
