FREEPERS, please join us in the battle vs Michael Moore...Theatre chain contact info provided, let's email/call, request they not carry this dangerous and irresponsible film. Please copy and forward to friends, family, etc. Say NO To Michael Moore and his anti-American agenda!
I hear Ray Bradbury has gone ballistic because Moore stole his title. Would only be appropriate if Bradbury sued Moore and received a judgment for all of the profits.
"I hear Ray Bradbury has gone ballistic because Moore stole his title."
It's strictly a matter of degrees.
That`s what I was wondering about. If there was any justice Ray would sue him and get him to change it to a more appropriate title like "Fat bastard 911 pounds"
Just let it come out and whither on the vine.
"Fahrenheit 911"? Isn't that the temperature at which solid fat turns to gas?
Maybe "The Daft Zeppelin" will spontaneously combust! "Oh the humanity..."
Oh please! Why waste time on an oversized bag of chit!~}
He reaks without our intervention!
Ignore it. It's apparently a bore that will not make anywhere near his "blockbuster" Columbine film, and that one made only $20 million domestically (less than "BioDome", less than "Ernest Goes to Camp.")
definitely...anyone associated with this anti-American propaganda will feel the heat...
Kinda like "The Reagans" on CBS, eh?
looking for freepers to help coordinate activities locally...A perfect opportunity for America to see Free Republic activism up close...
I understand....but feel this is worth fighting over...
I think ALL FREEPERS across the nation should publicly FReep any theater that attempts to show it.
I suggest printing this movie poster in the largest format you can and affix it to a firm posterboard and walk in front of the theater!
I think I will see it TWICE.
Question: Would you prefer your head cut off with a serrated blade or a dull blade (ala Nick Berg)?
This is PROPAGANDA, it is nothing but LIES. The IslamicJihadists, the American LEFT, as well as the French, which ALL hate folks like us, would shower you with kisses for your comment.
Would you have suggested the same 'choice' for Hitler's "Mein Kampf"?
This is NOT a matter 'choice' or taste, IT'S A MATTER OF THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY AND THE CONTINUATION OF OUR LIVES.
Wake up and smell the toast... it's BURNING!
FIGHT THE EVIL BASTARDS WITH EVERYTHING WE HAVE!
I understand your frustration, but you're wasting your time and energy in fighting the showing of this film. It's still a free country, and theatre owners can show if they want, and people can go to see if they want to see it. You'd be better off helping George Bush get elected by volunteering your services to your local Republican Party.
Why not do BOTH?
We need to DISCREDIT this idiot and his PROPAGANDA in the face of the American sheeple.
Remember, the movie going crowd are not known to be the sharpest knives in the drawer.
LOL...Already doing all that and more. Was that the attitude you had towards CBS and "The Reagans"?
Should we have taken that attitude towards Hitler, after all, that Treaty of Versailles was pretty harsh and unfair towards Germany, maybe we should allow him to militarize the Rhineland, build an air force, etc.
See where I'm going with this, Auntie?
LOL--they just don't get it, huh?
excellent graphic
are you on Michael Moore's payroll? If you aren't, you should be. He loves this. If word of boycott spreads the networks will have another excuse to give him hours of free commercials.
see #19
I did. You're just helping Moore.

Precisely. This board is full of Conservatives and Bush voters who want to line up and help Moore make this film the biggest propaganda hit since Triumph of the Will. An organized boycott would simply increase the chatter about his film, that's all.
Now if you really want to hurt the fat bastard, make sure that the Shanghai Triad gets a copy of his film so they can bootleg it to DVD and start distributing it at, say, 25% of ticket price. If you decide to see this film, do not go to the movies to see it. That's putting money in Moore's pocket. Nope, borrow a bootlegged copy from someone else. Whatever you do, do not see it at the movies and do not buy the DVD.
You may be pissed off when you see this tripe, but you'll also be putting money in the Fat Bastard's pocket. Don't.
Now if you want to see well-done propaganda, rent Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will. Follow it up with Olympiade, Riefenstahl's paean to the 1936 Berlin Games. Riefenstahl's films have a consistency that Moore cannot capture, because what Leni is doing is, primarily, recording an event (the 1934 Parteitag Rally in Nuremburg). She builds the propaganda around the event by recording the reactions of enthusiastic SA men. It's a genuinely good film in the service of a monstrous cause, and I recommend it for anyone who wants to understand just how effective good propaganda can be. Also rent Olivier's 1944 production of Henry V; Shakespeare placed at the service of the Allied Cause.
For anyone who wants to see bad propaganda, borrow any Moore film, of course. Or rent Aleksandr Nevsky, a ponderous Stalinoid epic in which Nevsky repels the Teutonic Invasion at the Battle of Lake Peipus while looking remarkablly like Uncle Joe.
Remember, NO MONEY FOR FAT BASTARD!
Be Seeing You,
Chris
p.s.: Truth in Advertising: while I am fat, I am not a bastard.
Please publish a list of all movies, songs, books and art that we need to destroy and never let anyone ever see ever again. You obviously know what best for the American People, better than the American people do.
Maybe we can even have a Government Agency that goes around giving approvals or setting the Moral standards for all the sheeple. Maybe we could even have a night where we all go around destroying that which we know to be in direct opposition to our way of thinking...sounds like fun.
Please, please ...Tell me what to think. I want ot make sure I am in COMPLETE agreement with the way YOU think.
Do you like Red? Only Commies like red, so lets get rid of it. How about Shakespeare? Two Gentlemen from Verona sounds Gay... I'm so asleep that I can't make the decision for myself.
You do it for me.
/End Flame (Sorry for the flame, but this really riles me...on only one cup of coffee so far this morning no less....
Lemme restate the question: Serrated or dull?
I would gladly risk the chance of Death so as to live free from despotic control.
Don't see the movie is you so Choose. Me, I'm happy that I have the freedom to make that decision my self.
I'm guessing sentence structure wasn't your strong suit. Touche.
Now, I shall inquire again: serrated or dull?
You're exactly right. The very WORST thing we could do would be to call theaters. A large-scale effort like that would turn it into something far, far bigger.

Hello? Anybody home?
The left does this to us every single day.
Go ahead, see it. Just realize that it won't be hard now to make the case that you support the Left AND liars.
Door Number Two, Monty. :-)
Oh... I see the reason his lips aren't moving... he chose the DULL BLADE!
Here is the man he's supporting:
Controversial director Michael Moore says big names like Meryl Streep and Martin Scorsese supported his outburst at the 2003 Academy Awards. The Fahrenheit 9/11 film-maker took to the stage at the glitzy ceremony to accept the award for his acclaimed movie Bowling For Columbine, and proceeded to call shame on President George W. Bush's war on Iraq. But, while the media insisted many were infuriated by Moore's speech, the documentary maestro insists he was sent letters of support by many Hollywood 'A' listers - including Jeff Bridges and Jonathan Demme. Moore says, "Some complained about it on TV - James Woods and others, just horrible, disgusting people. I was glad they didn't like it. I got incredible notes, phone calls, e-mails and letters from Jonathan Demme, Jeff Bridges, Martin Scorsese, Meryl Streep - I could go down a whole list, but I don't know if I should out them. Then, when everyone was saying that any person who criticized America at a time of war would be shunned and boycotted and ignored and vilified, the sales of my books and movies went through the roof."
The poster is exactlly what I needed!!! A co-worker and I got in a debate about the movie and he said him and all his friends were going to see it and I told him I would be there too with a big sign out front protesting it. Now I have the perfect sign
Way to go!
This is why I am making the case to FReep the traitor Michael Moore's PROPAGANDA disguised as a 'documentary'.
the lying is already being reported...

I'm already recruiting for protests in Syracuse!

We need more Chieftans!
LOL!!!!!!!
beautiful...well put. People continue to amaze me. You gotta wonder whose side they are on. Oh, wait...I'm figuring it out. And they ain't with us...
I salute you...I would be honored to freep with you.
Hopefully Miramax (who already has a habit of releasing bullsh*t, remember "Buffalo Soldiers?") will take a bath on it.
I've got no desire to give Jabba the Fatass any more attention.
Miramax turned them DOWN and REFUSED to release it. They told 'Jabba the Fatass' about their decision BEFORE he made the movie. The Weinstein bros in Hollyweird announced yesterday they formed a distributorship JUST to promote this PROPAGANDA. The LEFT is BLINDED by their HATRED for Bush.
Let's FReep the creeps!
big yup there!!!!!
Will FR be silent? Or will FR rise to the challenge from the left?
