#4  look at his film-history - the last one I liked was Untouchables, that was 1987...now he's back trying to recapture that money with a revisit, basically Untouchables 2 - Capone Rising ....LOSER

#2  But De Palma says he is upset that the documentary-style drama -- its name derived from his view that news coverage of the war has been incomplete -- has been censored.

He is right about that news coverage has been woefully incomplete. But totally wrong as to what has been left out.

And yeah, the idea that his agitprop piece titled "Redacted" has been, well, redacted is just falling-on-the-floor funny.

"He said the film provided a realistic portrait of U.S. troops and how "the presentation of our troops has been whitewashed" by mainstream media."

hah-hah-hah....! (gasping for breath) Hah, hah... such a kidder that Mr. Depalma! That's the funniest thing I've read all week!
...whitewashed by mainstream media... ha, ha ha... I'm wiping tears from my face now...
