I wonder how much of the movie’s earnings Michael Moore is personally responsible for generating...

[Da Coyote]

I love it.

And I love even more the fact that it causes weak-minded (if they have minds at all) libs go bonkers thinking up insults regarding those who go to and enjoy the movie.

And Clint, you da man!!

... the best second-week hold for a wide release ever for a film that debuted with more than $85M.

Is there an Oscar category for that?

[Borges]

It’s nominated for 6 Oscars...

Best Picture
Best Actor
Best Adapted Screenplay
Best Film Editing
Best Sound Editing
Best Sound Mixing

according to Howard Dean, the only people who are going to see this are angry Americans like the TEA Party

[dinodino]

That’s a whole lot of bitter clingers going to see this racist, hateful right-wing filth...

My wife and I went Sat. because of Moore and Maher. Theatre was packed out and I had to sit in the front row. People cheered and cried when it was over. How dare we show a patriotic film in the midst of political correctness!

[bboop]

I love it that Hollywood and the lefties are all in a wad about this film. They’ve been promulgating the worst vile AND not making money. Here’s a film about courage, a hero against all odds, love and marriage and a family, and sacrifice. And it’s a block-buster. AND Clint Eastwood made a very public joke about Obama at the Republican convention.

Hollywood is going to have to decide - do they stand for cramming leftie ideology down the public’s throats OR do they want to make money? Hahah, the Hard Edge of Reality strikes again.

Loving it.

Thank you, Michael Moore, Alec Baldwin and the other duffus for making American Sniper even more popular than it already was. If it wasn’t for your big, nasty, liberal mouths, some of the country would be unaware of the importance of this movie. You have helped make it the success it is - aren’t you proud? Also, keep up the good work because the more you flap your stupid, liberal gums the more money the movie makes.

Michael Moore

[WayneS]

I’m not sure he’s correct about that.

For instance, I have not been able to go see the movie because I have been too busy at home clinging to my guns and religion.

My wife and I are going to see American Sniper this week. We did see Fury just before this film was released.

We are hearing major squawking about the movie from liberals because they fear that the movie could cause a shift in movie production. Major studios may come to the conclusion that films that appeal to patriotic Americans are more profitable than the typical trash they produce pushing global warming, marijuana, gay rights and other liberal propaganda. This movie is making more liberal heads explode than cowboy yodeling did at the end of the Movie, “Mars Attacks”.

Saw this picture last night with Mrs. Absalom. In addition to making liberal heads explode, it was just a good movie. Great 3-act script, and solid performances from a great cast, along with Clint’s unmatched ability to move a story along. Its worth seeing more than once, just because it’s such a good movie.

[pepsi_junkie]

Wait, you mean it already passed the box office for other Ieaq war movies “Lions for Lambs” and even “In the valley of Elah”?

[w4women]

Funny how they are in a tizzy about snipers - Obama took 1000 snipers with him to India. Such a joke.

[Bob434]

Clint Eastwood has come out wit a statement saying essentially ‘The greatest way to make an anti-war sentiment in a movie is to show the ravages of war and how difficult it Is for returning vets’

Apparently He meant this film as an anti-war statement?

[Vermont Lt]

They put some PC in there. Whenever I heard returned soldiers speak about their enemies in a much less flattering manner.

Then again, I never heard my Dad or uncles speak of the enemies they faced in nice terms either. So it is a small thing, and to re record the dialog for TV broadcast one day would take extra millions.

RE: Apparently He meant this film as an anti-war statement?

Hard to predict the results huh?

Not when his film also shows the savagery of the enemies we’re dealing with and what our brave soldiers ( VOLUNTEERS ) have to go through to stop them as this film does.
