Endlich in diesem Theater:

„The wicked witch is dead.“

„A New Hope“

Und der Holllywood Reporter denkt natürlich gleich wieder ans Geschäft und weist statistisch nach, dass Obamas Sieg voraussichtlich zu steigenden Kinoticket-Verkäufen führen wird:

„Of course causation is always hard to prove on these slippery matters. But here’s one freakonomic theory: when a Republican administration comes to power, middle-class consumers are more concerned about their pocketbooks and tighten their spending on things like moviegoing. More subtly — but maybe no less influentially — Dem administrations historically tend to be more favorable to creative expression, which creates a more robust filmmaking and moviegoing climate.“

Und an anderer Stelle:

„Neither a Frank Capra, nor a Garry Trudeau, nor an Aaron Sorkin could have come up with plot points so implausible and make them stick. (…) There might be more intangible effects of Obamarama — the dialogue between Wilshire and Washington could eventually affect the storytelling and open us up to new storytellers.“
