I thought that The Road To Utopia was a Hope and Crosby movie. Turns out it's a Hope and Change movie.

I have a lot of lib relatives. I think I'll pass this along to them. I love to irritate them. They used to throw back defenses of BHO whenever I pointed out scandals, etc. Haven't heard from them of late.

  Sorry about the lib relatives Herb. I hear it often happens at birth with the left side of the brain not developing properly. Depending on their age it may also be attributed to some of the government induced injections and faulty polo sugar cubes from years ago. At least you were not afffected. Congrats on having superior Genes :)

Looks like an interesting movie. Utopians always bring dystopia. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

According to Box Office Mojo, the movie only played in 5 theaters back in July with a total domestic gross of $45,254. It was in release only 17 days. I suspect that it was made mostly for DVD sales. It appears interesting enough for me to buy a copy. It won't be released by Amazon until December 2.

  Are you sure you were not looking at the Altas Shrugged 3 info when you were looking this up? :)
  
  I agree with you it was probably meant for the DVD market anyway. I was surprised in made it to the big screen.

    Not surprised I got that response. :-) But, no, ASP3 did better than that, although it was still quite disappointing. Perhaps the DVD sales will be better.

      Do you have the figures for ASP3? I rented out a theatre here for AS3 and got a 110 people. Later I contacted the theatre and asked hom it went and they said not the other days and theatres were not as good as my event. Too bad

  yes I bought it for that reason too. You will only be out $20.00 if it is bad. If it is bad it makes a great secret santa gift then.

A good find, thank you. I hope they bring that here. It needs to be seen and understood.

        That must be the difference between someone wanting to get free shipping and someone willing to pay for it:)

        I wasn't worried about the free shipping. It just looked like it would be released on the same day from both places and with prime it would be delivered on release day. Ah well.

        Just kidding about the free shipping. I wanted to get mine so I could get it to some friends before election day. I wonder why amazon releases it later. Possibly the site I used got a little advanced release. The producer had a fantasitic film revealing who Obama's real father is. (Frank Marshall Davis) I was given a copy at an Americans for Properity rally in 2012. It seemed well done and well researched.

Hey, Mark: Any chance you own a black SUV with a John Galt sticker on the back left window? I passed same a week or two ago on 45 going north.

  I have two stickers on my car. The other one says "Capitalist" in the same format that those ugly " Coexist" stickers. When I see one of those on a car I like to get in front of them and drive a little slower so they see it.

  No Robbie It was not me. I do have a white SUV with a White "Who is john Galt?" sticker on it though. Black is too hard to keep clean with all the salt dust etc. Leading up to the movie I did put a lot of the yellow Galt stickers in my office building and someone kept changing them to "Whom is John Galt?" by adding a M to the who. Kind of funny.

      Good thought. The guy added the M in such a way that it looked identical to the font used on the stickers. He remains unidentified.

    I don't remember the exact number. The goal was to reach $30 K in ticket sales for the weekend to allow it to go onto other theaters - which it did. Maybe three thousand of us?

        I got my DVD in the mail yesterday and watched it right away. I liked it. The producer goes into many American cities and shows the plight of Obamas policies quite well.I liked how he way using Obama to draw a parallel with the Wizard of Oz and the fake illusion he created. I will drop it off at a couple friends houses this week. I liked the film ad the creativity used to make his point. For the price I could have bought a chia- pet or a box of Shamwows on TV but the money was better spend supporting a producers trying to make people aware of what is going on in our country.

        Yes it sure is. If you get a chance take a look at the view of Detroit from Google Earth. There is not much left. Robbie has a good post under new that shows and activist in Chicago. It is a good post and bery revealing
