Lord Save Us...

from melodramatic Hollywood pantywaists! Could they be more overwrought and screechy?

Politics and presidential elections were on everyone's lips at Monday's Gotham preem of "The Manchurian Candidate."

"This is a movie about political brainwashing, and we're right back there again now," said director Jonathan Demme. "I hope it has the potential for stimulating people to start thinking about the process because Lord knows we could use some stimulation," he added.

I think most of Hollywood are poster children for, "This Is Your Brain On Drugs".

Relax -- the new Manchurian Candidate is a BOMB. Although not many critics will have the courage to say so. Not like the one I'm linking to.

See the original Manchurian instead. It's still a cool film and 100 million times better than the remake.

I wasn't commenting on the movie, I was commenting on the hysteria of the director. Whether the movie sucks or not doesn't change his melodrama.
