Bob Roberts
Posted by tom | Sep 17, 2006came on Fox right after the Phillies win. What a win, what a film! Why did I push aside the Phillies and Bob Roberts for all these years :-) IMDB summarizes this film as a [d]ocumentary-style look at the fictional Senatorial campaign of Bob Roberts, an arch-conservative folk singer turned politician. This political satire includes several original songs co-written and performed by writer/director/star Tim Robbins, and cameo appearances by other stars as reporters and news anchors. It's set right here in PA! What beautiful landscape, city-hopping . . . and Broken Dove (a private relief organization) with Alan Rickman at the helm before Hogwarts fame. Incredible! Had to ask my parents to tape the end, as I went to supper. Will finish it in a few days, maybe I'll have some more thoughts to share at that time.
