| Bob Roberts fans check in here!! |
|
I just picked up the DVD at a used video place for $8. I love that movie but Tim Robbins is scary as a Neo-conservative folk singer runnnig for US Senate in Pennsylvania (he makes Rick Santorum look like a hippie liberal).
Anyone else fans of the movie??

| 5. Great, great film. Loved Gore Vidal as the liberal incumbent... |
|
Roberts ultimately unseats.
"Bob Roberts" is one of the best political films ever made. Just superb.

| 6. I can't watch it ever again. |
|
The film enraged me when it first came out... even knowing full well that it was fictional, Tim Robbins does such an incredible job of getting into the character, I couldn't help but be disgusted.
Now, after 10 years of Republican control of Congress, and 3 1/2 years of the most destructive ultra-right wing Presidency in history, I might be capable of putting my fist right through my television screen if I watched it today.

| 7. Watch "Don't Look Back", the Bob Dylan documentary to |
|
get even more of the references.
I love the DVD, and the commentary by Gore Vidal (Sen. Brickley Paiste in the movie) is terrific.
