"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 "horseshit and elbow grease."
"Be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid."
Some of you may remember Joe as the dude that made "Gremlins", "The Howling", & "Innerspace." Some of you may also remember that Joe was given his start by Roger Corman.
Diogenes of Sinope: "It is not that I am mad, it is only that my head is different from yours."
Arnold Judas Rimmer, BSC, SSC: "Better dead than smeg."
On top of that, perhaps Joe Dante should try listening to the breathing U.S. troops in Iraq whom the majority of believe we are doing a good thing there.
Reading more from that villagevoice.com article Gordon posted...wow. That's not biased, that outright hatred. Any movie review that makes a point to imply the November presidential elections were fixed might prove that the writer and/or media outlet has an agenda.

So I guess Joe's movie is more like a documentary?
Dead people seem to vote Democrat...

I just searched for Homecoming and found this thread. Sorry Thib, I never saw your zinger, which was hilarious. I laughed at it, scrolled down to see I made the same joke, and I don't even remember making it.
Well done.
