Angry (Tim) Robbins takes anti-Bush satire to Venice

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=1504&ncid=1504&e=10&u=/afp/20040905/ts_afp/afplifestyle_venice_film_040905202151

<snip>


Robbin's angry satire about the Bush administration's war in Iraq (news - web sites) and the complicity of the mainstream US media in its reporting from the early days of the war is the polar opposite of Nair's sumptuous examination of race and class.


"Embedded" was born as a play in a 30-seat theatre in Los Angeles in July 2003 and has been playing to audiences for the past year in LA and New York.


The movie is the film of an actual performance of the play, in places intercut with scenes of the destruction of war and its casualties.


The major news organisations are bitterly attacked in the play for slavishly following the US military's official line in their reports from correspondents embedded with soldiers in Iraq.

Liberal Media.

it is in the article...

They tend to refer to those that oppose the right wing agenda as "angry", but people like Zell Miller are heros for speaking out. It' just the way the corporate controlled media operates.

Sigh.

All I could think of was Robins (the birds)..sorry

Venice is a nice city..

I live in L.A. county, 90 minutes from L.A., and have never heard of this play.

I want to go see it !

it says it's been playing in the L.A. area. You can probably Google it!

Wish I could see it.

I think Tim Robbins is great.

It's at the Actor's Gang Theatre in Hollywood until Sept. 12th.
$50 a ticket.
I'm trying to get tickets tonight online.

repeatedly for the weeks it played there. Sounds like they filmed it in performance to more quickly get the word out- instead of doing a "Hollywood" version. Smart move, Tim!

I want to see the film yesterday or sooner!

Reno, Cedar Falls, Santa Fe, Austin, Kirkland & Kent WA; but no where in CA other than LA - that is odd.

What the fuck is this shit? Angry this, and angry that. I feel like we're dealing with a kindergarten class. Not adults. Like we should be smiling as we uncover the sandbags of shit?
Sorry, I just don't get it. I think I need a new planet to escape to.

It's like they kick you in the nuts and then call the cameras over to show what a wild man you are.
When Al Gore went out of his way to maintain his cool, he was "stiff".
Now that he's let go, he's "deranged".
We need to stop letting the media whores define us.

Would indeed like to see the play, "Embedded"

is a very HOT actor! I so want to see Embedded. He is such a good role model. Him and his significant other Susan Seurandan. I admire that couple!

*save a life-hug a tree*

a little kick

Where are the ovens? The brownshirts? The SS? The trains?

How does the Hitler charge play with swing voters?

because I love Tim! :loveya:

3.46 and rising
