Apparently bigger than the Riefenstahl tribute at the Oscars.
Oh, brother.
I wonder... with a lifetime gross that small for so many movies, once you take out production costs and distribution costs, how much is he really taking in on movies? I would guess it's not much, unless his movies are extremely low-budget. He can probably make more dough as a guest speaker in Ithaca.
What an exhibition of misguided souls seeking validation of their delusions.
Kinda sad...
And revolting.
Yep, and especially in Western Europe where his books sell better. His flaky works the arrogant sensibilities of the "chattering classes" there.
I suppose his film has very little to do with 9/11, and explaining it. Seems he deflects to complaints about Iraq which locals here can better fit into their Vietnam-obsessed paradigms.
I can't sand the guy, but according to another article here Bowling for Columbine grossed $120 million.
I wish Moronic Moore would just take up residence there where he would be made to feel right at home.
In stone cold sober seriousness, I think it's vital for us to mount a nationwide informational protest campaign against this film. I've never done that before, so I don't know exactly how to start it. But I guess it would involve picketing ("Don't Feed the Fascist Moore!")or even civil disobedience in and around theaters.
Hey now, I've eaten 1/2 of a can of white frosting before(we all have our weaknesses.) Then again, I'm 6' and 165 lbs...
Something that seems curious to me is why there is little discussion about a possible connection between those prisoner photos and this crap, given that fat-ass has some video of soldiers laughing as they put the hoods on the prisoners. Also, Laura Ingraham said this morning that the still pictures were all taken between 2:00 am and 4:00, which is also interesting.
A modern "Two Minutes' Hate."
Let me get this straight....THIS is the headline on Drudge and the article about the Sarin Gas explosion is in small type?
Is it just me or is something backwards here? The Sarin Gas explosion should be a siren!!!!
Great post.
Have any of you seen his pictures on Yahoo photos? Wierd!

I guess the figures on the earlier thing I read were old, but he didn't get anywhere near $120 million even with overseas receipts.
