Another anti-war film tanks. Do markets matter in Hollywood?

The investors lose out, but no one seems to care. |

Except for econoboxes, very-aggressive hybrids, and woefully-underpowered cars, just about nothing will make 35 mpg. Specifically, nothing with 4WD, more than 150 horsepower, or room for more than 5 people and 2 overnight bags will be safe.
Now, how long do I have to wait to use "I Ran" for the Morning Scramble? |

Sadr was backed by SUNNI Al Qaeda? Are we changing the script again? Sigh... someone needs to keep me updated. |
