“Fair Game” gets foul reception at the box office

Fair Game, Sean Penn’s movie about poor, innocent Valerie Plame and the evil Bush administration, is a dog. A flop. A bomb. A stinkeroo. A total box office failure.

Even liberals won’t show up at the box office for Sean Penn’s latest lunacy.

Fair Game, Penn’s movie about poor, innocent Valerie Plame and the evil Bush administration, is a dog. A flop. A bomb. A stinkeroo. A total box office failure.

The movie, which stars serial liberal wacko Penn and Naomi Watts, has rung up a paltry $4,393,000 in American ticket sales in 21 days of release. It’s worldwide take is just $9,349,628.

Considering that it cost $21 million to make, the investors are taking a well-deserved bath.

In comparison, Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows, the number one movie in the country, has brought in $170,000,000 in seven days, which proves that there is a market for fantasy films, just not for liberal fantasies.

Here. Here’s the 2-minute trailer. Watch it and consider yourself lucky you didn’t plunk down any money to see the whole movie.

Gene Shalit Chris Matthews says the new Valerie Plame movie is this generation’s Casablanca

On Monday night the tremors and hallucinations returned and he told his audience that Fair Game, the new movie about the Valerie Plame scandal, stacks up favorably against Casablanca.

There was a brief moment last week when it appeared that Chris Matthews had regained a bit of his sanity. Never mind. The moment passed.

On Monday night the tremors and hallucinations returned and he told his audience that Fair Game, the new movie about the Valerie Plame scandal, stacks up favorably against Casablanca.

Matthews: Let me finish tonight with a stirring movie I saw last night. I had heard of the first-rate script, the masterful performances by the leads, Naomi Watts and Sean Penn. What I was not prepared for in Fair Game was the story itself, the wondrous dramatic courage of it all. This is one fine movie. While there will never be another Casablanca, Fair Game is perfect for our murky time.

On this review, we give Chris two thumbs down. And one finger up.

Our two-word review of the upcoming Valerie Plame movie: Bush’s fault.

Q: How do you make a factual movie about the Valerie Plame affair and not cast the role of Richard Armitage?
A: You don’t.

Q: How do you make a factual movie about the Valerie Plame affair and not cast the role of Richard Armitage?
A: You don’t.

It is no great secret that the entertainment industry would never let the truth get in the way of a good story. But with Fair Game Hollywood has put a new spin on a very old practice. It would seem that this go round they won’t let a good story get in the way of a political agenda.

No one will be happier to hear that than Patrick Fitzgerald. You remember Fitzgerald. He’s the federal prosecutor who got a conviction against Scooter Libby for supposedly lying about a crime – a crime that Fitzgerald knew had never been committed.

These days Fitzgerald’s in Chicago bumbling the case against Rod Blagojovich. Mostly because a serious prosecution of the colorful former governor might require evidence that could implicate President Obama.

Throw in the fact the whole controversy originally erupted because Plame used her position so that her husband could be given official government sanction to score political points against President Bush and that she effectively outed herself and you’d have a far more truthful and a far more compelling film.

Unfortunately we don’t see that one getting made any time soon.

Now Sean Penn is hot for Valerie Plame

valerie_plameFirst, Sean Penn played outed gay politician Harvey Milk. Now it looks like he may play the husband of outed CIA hussy Valerie Plame.

“Fair Game,” based on the memoirs by Plame and Wilson, is being made in to a big budget Hollywood fiasco. Tinsel town normally calls a biographic picture a “bio-pic,” but in this case it might be more appropriate to call it a “lie-o-pic.”

Producers are negotiating with Sean Penn to play Ambassador/Liar Joe Wilson. Naomi Watts is set to star as Plame. Doug Liman, director of “Mr & Mrs Smith,” will direct this one, too.

This is perfect. Fresh off making a complete ass of himself at the Academy Awards, Sean Penn could now make an ass out of Joe Wilson.

Correction: We should have said, “Sean Penn could now make an even bigger ass out of Wilson.”
