It belongs in a movie about the 1920's but it's incredible to me that people still worship things.

on top of bat-shit crazy evangelicals, Dominionists, and whatever else is still floating around. I feel like I've made a wrong turn and wound up in 1546.

It's not that bad. We don't have the Schmalkaldic War to deal with.

I hear there's a New Schmalkaldic Liberty Front forming in Oklahoma...

Maybe then we could have a combined gudgeon/religion group.

Wouldn't that be fun!!!

According to IMDB, at least.

The K of C doesn't seem willing to publicly admit that, though they have released a shitpotful of glowing reviews, endorsements and puff pieces about FGG.

In fact, the HuffPost piece reads like a re-write of a movie press release, using the same language found elsewhere.

I also found glowing reviews at townhall.com, redstate.com and other To-The-Right-of-Josef-Goebbels sites:

"For Greater Glory" isn’t about the United States government clamping down on 1960?s leftists who advocate violence and who received money, training and help from Soviet Russia, nor about 1980?s Democrats who ran for office with funding and other help from Communist China. - redstate.com



Andy Garcia says - with a straight face - that this turkey "is not propaganda." Really? I guess that's why, in all the movie posters and stills, Garcia's wearing a crucifix only slightly smaller than his ego.

Peter O'Toole gets put up against a wall and shot - something I personally recommended after he appeared in the 2005 version of Lassie.

More of the usual Irrelevant Trivia:

In Andy Garcia's last magnum dopus of 2011, he played Sarah Palin's favorite politician - President Mikheil Saakashvili of Georgia.

I know - "Huh?"

That straight-to-the-WalMart-$5-bin flick was 5 Days of War. Apparently Garcia is Saakashvili's favorite actor! What a coincidence! Directed by Renny Harlin - remember him? So stuff blows up impressively even when there's not much reason for it.

As portrayed by Garcia, Saakashvili comes off as a cross between Abe Lincoln and FDR. Putin comes off as Vladimir The Impaler.

And as you may have guessed, 5 Days of War WAS propaganda - financed largely by the Georgian government, with the Evil Russians ruthlessly suppressing poor little Georgia. Conveniently without mentioning Georgia's invasions of South Ossetia, Abkhazia, etc.

Since it had official govt. backing, for us Armor Porn fans, the flick is full of impressive hardware - T-72 tanks with ERA armor, BTR-80 personnel carriers, Hind helicopter gunships, etc.
