I can't decide if they have a rebel working there - or if they just don't get the movie and think it's about an inspirational (from their viewpoint) politician.

1. That's why Tim Robbins never released a soundtrack

He's stated that he didn't want conservative candidates with no sense of irony to appropriate the songs for their campaigns (which is a shame, because it would have been a classic comedy album).

"If you're God-fearin', white and free/There is not a single thing you cannot be..."

2. It's a great movie! And my irony meter just exploded.

Great observation dflprincess!

3. Lots of great shots of Pittsburgh

Lots of great shots of Pittsburgh in that one. And the women's choir backing him up at one point was from my alma mater.

4. A subtle thing to watch for

8. Fox Entertainment and Fox News are run as two separate (and different)

entities.

9. One of the most frightening movies of all time!

Worse than the Exorcist or Psycho IMO.
