In Reply to: "Khodorkovsky" : It's okay to be rich as long as you don't sass Putin . . . posted by mr grits on November 25, 2012 at 08:51:28:
Seriously, grits - what is the audience for this film? Very few people care about what is happening in THIS country, far less care what is happening elsewhere, of them maybe 1% of those actually has the feel for what is really happening. This is as earth shattering as the discovery of one more character in ancient Egypt script. Most philistines will latch on the least important element - "from the ultra-rich to a prison cell"... it will shock them, titillate them, while far more important things will go unnoticed.People want LoTR and Avatar.
BTW - there are rumors of Putin about to die of sarcoma. Now, THAT will shock the philistines, I am sure! Until next sale.
