Dante's Inferno

I saw Dante's Inferno at the Philadelphia Film Festival when it first came out in 2007 and recently picked it up on DVD.  In spite of being a bit too raunchy for my taste, it was a delight!  The Fox News helicopter, ie the "great monster of fraud", is in the 8th circle of Hell. Strom Thurmond is eternally trapped in a Mrs. Butterworth costume. Halliburton has its own building. Dick Cheyney is so evil that he is in the frozen pit of wickedness, even though he is still alive. And all the characters were cutout puppets. I forgot how good this is!
