Most copyrights don't go over 40 much less 50 years, Bradbury has little recourse here.

Friedman is a dolt.

I recall that Mel Gibson's film was the success it was because of all the complaining and protest by the left. I just don't want to help Moore out because he's only trying to create controversy to bring attention to this piece of trash he calls a documentary.

You can't copyright a title, whether it's a book or film.

"Friedman is a dolt."

Yes he is.
AND he is on the FOX payroll.
He writes what they want.
And they want "us" to watch this load of you know what
Rupert Murdoch wants his "boy" Hanoi Kerry to win in Nov.

Why do the TV and Cable Newsrooms
hide Hanoi Kerry's past?

I think a better idea to protest it is by going out and seeing a different movie this weekend..heck go to a few different ones..give someone else the ratings and the money. if a few milliuon republicans all of the suddden hit the theatres and saw something else.. it would push his fantasy film down the chart...just a thought.

Especially considering the summer blockbusters that will be coming out. People go to movies for escapism. Most theatre goers are going to prefer something like Spider-Man 2 or I, Robot. Theatre chains don't screw around during the summer season. Once a movie stops making money for them, it's gone. There's a contingent of hardcore leftists and curious people who will go see the movie but after that, it's done.
It's up to us to counter the propaganda in the movie. None of the charges in the movie are anything new and, frankly, pretty easily countered after minimal research.

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.
Naw, get a copy off of Kazaa and share the file on a high speed connection. Better yet, get access to an untraceable offshore hosted website and put it there, and spread the link all over the place. Watch old Sus Barbatus go all RIAA, showing what a Great Friend Of The Peepul he really is.

Bump for good news:

Both ABC and NBC issued reality checks on the movie this evening...both good pieces of journalism that were fair and balanced....in fact, I would say slightly negative toward the movie if not more so.

First up: Lisa Myers of NBC. She critiqued about 4 main points of the movie (and both NBC and ABC did not mention anything about the scene where Bush finished reading to the kids instead of running from the room and running people over like George in Seinfeld, which apparently is what Michael Moore believed he should have done). The reporters, unlike Moore, found nothing odd about Bush staying calm in the face of a crisis. Anyway, Myers also mentioned how Moore ambushed senators about having their kids go to the war in Iraq. But, way to go Myers because she mentioned the fact that Moore edited the responses to make them seem worse (particularly that one congressmen who spoke out and said Moore simply left his response out that he has kids in Iraq). Myers also scoffed at the Bush-Bin Laden connection and "laziness" of Bush regarding terrorism and the Bin Laden families flying out; Myers said that the govt. only approved people to fly out who were not wanted for questioning by the FBI, so that claims of favoritism was exaggerated. Myers concludes her report by cautioning that Moore's "excesses and distortions" clouds his message.

Next, ABC's Dan Harris did a report questioning the integrity of the movie. And....this was pretty awesome...he used Richard Clarke to rip on Michael Moore. This is no doubt because Clarke is the terrorism expert for ABC, and a reporter under deadline will go to the easiest expert source. However, it is significant because, as Harris noted, Moore uses Clarke in the movie as some vindicator for his views. Clarke himself is used in the ABC report to repudiate this claim. Harris, in the voiceover for his report, pretty unambiguously stated that Clarke himself "green-lighted the flights [of the Bin Laden family]," something ignored in Moore's film. Clarke is then quoted on camera as stating that the family did not pose a danger, thus explaining his action and that Bush was not trying to cover anything up unlike what Moore claims. Clarke then rips Moore on his mention of Bush supporting Bin Laden via business and family relationships. All in all, very balanced report for a news organization tied to Disney and the makers of Moore's film. It even is more scathing than Myers' report, which was just fair and balanced. The Harris piece is biased against Moore even, IMO. He concludes with an interesting analogy that I forgot, but it basically means not to expect a fair analysis of the facts from Moore.

Nice to see some decent journalism on Moore's film. It must be REALLY awful for the mainstream media to be tearing it to shreds.

Let's thank these reporters. I could only find an e-mail for Lisa directly at Rumor Mill News: lisa.myers@nbc.com

Use with caution, and if it does not get through, save your message for the general NBC e-mail.

Here is NBC Nightly News e-mail: Nightly@nbc.com

For ABC and Dan Harris, try: http://abcnews.go.com/sections/wnt/WorldNewsTonight/WNT_newemail_form.html

You also, according to Rumor Mill News, can contact Dan Harris directly at: dan.harris@abc.com Again, be cautious in case the direct e-mails do not work.

It's bound to have at least decent numbers the first week as all the lefties go flocking to it like 19th century Pentecostalists to a tent meeting. After that, it will likely do worse than....well, Canadian Bacon is a good example.

Good greif, Tonk, that's a mouthfull! How did I miss all this?

Fox was the only one who reported on the Kerry veteran opposition groups. And Murdoch supports Kerry? Is that a fact or an assumption?

Ignore moore, more.

Afford the fat moron the dignity of the consequences of his own actions and he'll soon join the rest of totalitarianism's envy-motivated, hatred-engined and rage-driven detritus in history's dustbin.

If they can fit him in.
