“Recount” is Patriotic
I’m not much of a politically involved person but I couldn’t help notice HBO’s ad campaign for Recount, which is about the 2000 Presidential campaign. See what I did there?
Anyhow, I guess seeing Kevin Spacey’s face 50 times a day makes even the politically oblivious person like me somewhat interested in taking a peek at the movie. So I turned on the guide on my TV and saw that Recount was going to be on at 6 PM tonight on HBO2. Cool! Let me check it out.
So I watched the movie and it’s pretty interesting, I guess. Although I think their attempt at equally representing both sides is pretty weak and it’s obvious that the movie tends to favor the DemocRATS over the RepubliCANTS.
As the movie ends I pull up the guide again to see what’s next and I notice it’s The Patriot!
Hahaha. I thought that was a pretty interesting movie choice to show right after Recount.
HBO2’s schedule was as follows -
6 PM - Recount
8 PM - The Patriot
11 PM - Reount (AGAIN!!)
Coincidence? I think not.
