Would it be worse if something like this actually happend and certain other people come into power?My mom told me about this crazy Psychic lady she read in 2000 that said it would happen in the second year of his second term. She was halfway right since she made the prediction before he had been re-elected. Either way I appreciate the film makers shock factor. I wonder if this will be Banned in the U.S.A.

    despite my hatred of damn near everything the Bush administration has done since day one I don't think an assasination would do anything but turn this fuckbag into a martyr for his causes and his "red-state" fanbase

    Ain't no way they will ban this movie in America, but it ain't going to be getting play at your local AMC, thats for sure

  • Bush being killed would not solve anything. I hope he lives to a ripe old age and has to see what history will make of his work as president. I also hope he gets a lot of kiddney stones and hemroids.

    Of course not. "Banning" is not at all the same thing as commercial theater chains declining to screen it.

    Isn't this movie more about "What would happen...if" than "Kill GWB!!!"? But I'm sure some people are gonna go see this film and maybe throwing parties afterwards.

    Banned? Never. Outcry from some? Yes.

    Yeah I pretty much see it that way too. It will be interesting to see the reaction it gets here in the US by the leftys and libs but the conservative reaction is beyond predictable.

    my first thought when i heard about this was NAGL.

    to my knowledge, i can't recall ever hearing about a movie (or even book) that ever dealt with the actual assasination of a sitting president. there are a ton of movies that deal with the assasinations of fictious presidents, but never the actual president.

    i also can't recall a movie that dealt with the assasination of any sitting leader. even during the coldwar days, i don't recall movies about assasinating the current leader of a country.

    point is, at first glance, this movie seems a little hard to swallow on the responsible/proper tip. i am not one to drum up talk about crazy zealots, but i would think if a person would try to kill the president over Jodi Foster, perhaps a movie showing what could come about after the "assasination" of an unfavorable president may get some people thinking...

    that said, i don't think the film makers are just trying to try to shock people. Under GW the world seems to have changed a lot (especially here in the US), so the question of what would happen if he were "forceably" removed may seem interesting to ask. Just not sure if we should go down this path of depicting our leaders being killed and then pondering the good/bad effects that my result of that action.

  • "I don't know if there are many people in America who would want to watch something like that"

    i can think of about 55 million people.

    I wouldn't assume that everyone who didn't vote for GWB would enjoy seeing a movie in which he was killed.

    I've heard no talk whatsoever about banning or altering this movie.

    But the story on the link below is definitely .....and apparently the network has obliged.

    Im sure i'm missing somthing here being australian. But the key words in all this seem to be fictional and documentary. I hardly think that this film is going to incite anyone to kill bush who isn't already thinking about it.

    So, an album maybe ?...


    And, I don't know why some say that this would incite anyone to kill Bush.
    I mean, how many american presidents have been killed ? It's not like the world need a docu-drama to make him a target.

  • I think the [american] media coverage is slightly overhyping it. It's only a 'what if' documentary after all and it hasn't even been shown yet. From what I've read GWB getting topped is only a part of the film, the rest dealing with the war on terror etc??

    Yeah I was going to name the thread Bush Killa but didnt go for it....

    Here are the lyrics though...still holds true today for the most part.

    Bush Killa


    "I understand that time is running out..."
    Here I go, an angry brother finna make his move
    Lookin??? to buck him in the city so I never lose
    See I???m get him in the crowd with a couple heavies
    And lay the barrel to the ground, hold the gat steady
    And now I???m ready for my adversary, talk is cheap
    I???m lookin??? for a way to make a play and keep it neat
    And check it out and make a route and pick a rooftop
    And get a spot where the view???s hot, set up shop
    "Cause all I wanna see is motherfuckin??? brains hangin???
    Another level when it???s me and devils gangbangin???
    So don???t be tellin??? me to get the non-violent spirit
    'Cause when I???m violent is the only time ya devils hear it
    Rat-a-tat go the gat to his devil face
    I hope he think of how he done us when he lay to waste
    And get the feelin??? of the peelin??? from the other side
    From guns given to my people for my own kind
    So get with Ollie 'cause I???m probably finna make ya mad
    I???m steady waitin??? for the day I get to see his ass
    And give him two from the barrel of a Black Guerrilla
    And that???s real from the motherfuckin??? Bush Killa

    "I understand that time is running out..."

    Now who is able to make war with the beast?
    It starts with P
    Trumpets sound when I push the program
    And set my sight on the serpent man
    Swingin??? the sword of the righteous
    Make devils drop and they just can't spite this
    Genocide and the minds of men make
    Brothers like me fill up with hate
    I smell a skunk in the air
    'Cause your program still ain't fair
    So who you wanna blame for The Hate That Hate Made
    When P let off and pigs get sprayed
    Y'all wanna kill off the black man
    But I know your master plan
    So we'll see who stop the Black Guerrilla
    P-Dog the Bush Killa

    Yeah, it's P-Dog the Bush Killa

    Yeah, tolerance is gettin??? thinner
    Cause Iraq never called me "nigger"
    So what I wanna go off and fight a war for
    You best believe I got your draft card
    So bad to hate somebody else
    But much worse to hate yourself
    Victim to the mentacide of the devil why
    Must black folk be made to die
    Keepin??? 'em on and on.. keepin??? ya on and on
    Like my brother down South said, "Fuck the Police"
    I'm sayin???, "No Justice, No Peace"
    So I just stick 'em like that
    Cause everybody want to get the black, huh
    But we'll see who'll stop the Black Guerrilla
    P-Dog the Bush Killa

    Yeah, it's P-Dog the Bush Killa

    Yeah, so where's he at? I might wait
    For his motherfuckin??? ass on a rooftop next tour
    Buck his dome cause I'm known to play for keeps
    Lay low to the flo??? and keep it neat
    And send his ass home belly up
    Should've listened to the facts that the black's been tellin ya
    It's no surprise that a brother got wise
    Now rat-a-tat-tat, it's an eye for an eye
    How many, got to die before we see
    Them motherfuckas don't give a damn for you or me
    So wear a vest on your chest and the rest stand still
    For P-Dog the Bush Killa
