The ‘IS there such a thing as no bad publicity, Professor Moe?’ ‘I dunno, Sparky! Let’s find out!’ CIVIL WAR trailer.

If the goal of the people who made the CIVIL WAR trailer was to make a splash, well, it worked. But before you see the trailer, look at this picture. The government is apparently being opposed by Texas and the South (except Florida and South Carolina!), the High Plains and Mountain West, and… the Pacific States. Including California.

…Damned if I know how that would work, either. And apparently, neither does anybody else. Anyway, here’s the trailer. This one I’ll actually wait on until somebody whose opinion I trust comes out of the theater and tells me it’s worth watching.

PS: You can have a functional rebellion in California. You can have the US government controlling the Colorado River. You can’t have both.

  1. And in the secodn one, even jsut from the still, you ahve someone who’s runnign deep-in-the-dirt military, with his *gun* wearing a gille suit, but dyed hair and pretty pink-and-turquoise nail polish.

    It’s either some sort of *tremendously* intense political axe to grind or they’re just doing whatever they can to mess with *everybody*.

    1. So .. “Canadian Bacon” then?

      The only time I gave up on a John Candy comedy, because director Michael Moore (yes, that Michael Moore) was so f*cking heavy handed it just wasn’t funny.

      Didn’t age well either.

  2. Kind of reminds me of Charles Stross freaking himself out. (Shrug) They’re wallowing in their own neuroses, and reality ain’t invited.

    I am truly impressed by the depths of ignorance displayed, though.

  3. No! You’re misreading the map!

    Texas and California seceded together. All those other states who seceded are going it alone just to get out of the way of the fight between Washington and Sacramento/Austin! They showed the joint flag of Texas and California. Two stars!

    It’s beautiful. We want to make a domestic war movie but we don’t want to be pinned to one side, so we’re just having Texas and California on the same side against DC, who could be mistaken as Biden or Trump.
