I'M Gonna Hang Myself
I hate this film! Sure I haven't seen it yet, but based on everything I've already heard about it, I know that it's going to be a huge disappointment. Everyone seems to be saying Machiavelli this and Machiavelli that, when the majority of those talkers don't even know who Machiavelli is. For your information, Star Wars geeks, he was a philosopher and he has had such a tremendous impact on modern politics that it would be practically impossible to go over it with you, right now. The point I'm trying to make is that if it's based on his writings - probably one of them being the Prince - then the film would have to be such an academic and analytical adaptation to do it any justice. If it is, great, but then it would mean that it would be the most boring film ever to come out of Hollywood. If it is as entertaining as these idiots think it is going to be, then it will lack any historical validity. I personally like to watch films that are true to their origins and they don't fictionalize for the sake of dumb movie goers. Gladiator sacrificed the real history for the sake of a hero who goes around seeking vengeance. I won't even get into Oliver Stone's awful Alexander that turned him into a straight man without any real spine.
This Machiavelli deal is supposed to have a great independent cast but no one ever talks about it and you will not hear about the actual plot anywhere. You can search it, you won't find it anywhere. Believe me, oh, have I tried without any results. So let me ask you this: if it is such a brilliant concept and an amazing renovation in storytelling, bla, bla, bla... then why aren't the producers confident enough to

Judge Orders 5 Freed From Guantanamo
The judge said there was no evidence to justify the detention of the Algerians, who have spent seven years in detention. They could be sent to Bosnia, where they were arrested in connection with an alleged terrorist plot.
give the public a taste of what they're going to see? Is it a comedy? A drama? Adult entertainment. When you look at these films that come out like Spielberg's War of the Worlds or Dukes of Hazzard or whatever else is playing these days.. you will know right away what you're getting yourself into. Those films aren't out to rip you off. I want to find out about Machiavelli Hangman (http://www.hangmanmovie.com) before I pay to go watch it.
When is the release date? Who's in it? I don't have the answers and I'm 100% sure that you don't have those answers either. If it's supposed to be kept hush hush because of the JFK controversy that is integral to the plot, then why are they even planning on releasing it?
All I'm saying, is that in order to market a movie, these studios have to tell the public about it. They can't just leave you out and dry in the cold without any clues as to what a movie is about. The 40-year old Virgin is coming and the title itself tells you everything you need to know about the film. Machiavelli Hangman is ambiguous and it will be the next Shawshank Redemption. No one knew what it was about and due to poor marketing, the movie did terribly at the box-office.
So ladies and gentlemen of the studios, please find a better way to market this baby And put out some information about its contents. And if you need any help with this, you always get in touch with me! =)
