So my sister-in-law is trying to wheedle my wife and me into seeing the "2016" Obama smear flick. She even gave us a link to a stream so we can't object to lining Dinesh D'Souza's pockets with the price of movie tickets. She also accepted my wife's rash challenge to watch a Michael Moore documentary in return.
So what documentary film would you ask a RW nutjob to watch in exchange for 90 minutes of your own life you're never getting back?

(6,279 posts)Kind of like what they do with all those Regnery Press books that get dumped through book clubs and WalMart. There's a difference between ticket sales and actually having people sit through the thing in a theater. I'm sure it's not all phantom filmgoers - the wingnuts will surely lap up D'Souza's pop psychology and bunk political science - but I don't see anything stopping say, the Koch brothers, from dropping a few million on tickets to goose the numbers.
I must add that I also have no evidence this is happening....

(6,279 posts)My wife asked her to see "An Inconvenient Truth" (and got the reply, "Sure, I love comedies!" . I don't think it will have any real impact, but at least listening to Al Gore for an extended period of time will be like fingernails on a blackboard to her cold teabagger heart...
