I was suring around looking at movie news when I found this bit on Politico.com (yes, when you read about movie stars, you usually find them on the political websites):Brian DePalma isn’t one to give up easily, either. Skewered last year by conservative critics for the box-office flop “Redacted,” the controversial director is returning to the Iraq war as the subject matter of his next picture.
That’s the news from Cannes, where Canadian distribution company Film Farm says it will back two new DePalma pictures: the director’s next Iraq attack and a more conventional political thriller with a higher budget.
The delusions of Hollywood bigshots is laughable. "Conservative critics?" Not quite. The entire nation told DePalma where he could put Redacted. DePalma might think that a few conservative critics put the kibosh on his film (because conservative critics control the box office), but perhaps there's an easier answer: the movie sucked. Leave it to a Canadian distributor to think that next time, DePalma will have a hit with the same theme that already blew all four tires.
