Teaser for Kathryn Bigelow's Osama Bin Laden Movie



official
EW article

Is this too much crowing about the killing of Osama Bin Laden? Will there be sufficient interest in the rest of the world to help the movie's box office receipts? I do wonder if the movie's production and release is a bit triumphalistic, even if it's Hollywood that's behind the movie, and not the U.S. Government. (Right?) What is Osama Bin Laden's long-term legacy and influence?

Too bad the movie can't be released before the election - Obama could try to score points and remind the public of what a great commaner-in-chief he is.

Some (including veterans) have complained about NBC's Stars Earn Stripes - is there an audience for this show among those who have a hankering for military service or play first-person shooters? How is this show any different from the movie Act of Valor? Informative programming or military propaganda? Are those complaining about the show equally as vocal in their criticisms of the past 3 presidential administrations? What's more likely to be "bellicose," this show or the rhetoric coming out of the White House?
