Let's see how quickly this bucket of tripe makes its way to the $0.99 reack at the video store...

Unfortunately, it will probably make a tremendous amount of money. When any group of people rise up and protest or complain about a movie, it stirs up enough interest that those not with any group, but those with the money–high school and college kids between 16-25--will rush out and see it just because it has been labeled "controversial."

Look at the "Last Temptation of Christ." I was in college when that came out, and a older lady in the office on campus where I was working tried to get me to sign a petition against it. I refused on the grounds of censorship.

So I went and saw it. It was too long, and tricky to follow in spots, and I didn't think it was that good. But everyone went to see it just because Falwell and his group were protesting it. If Falwell had kept silent and said nothing, it probably wouldn't have survived more than a week or two before dying at the box office. All the attention drew a crowd and the movie was a modest financial success.

The same thing is going to happen here, and what's more, Michael Moore not only knows it, he's counting on it.

It's opening five days before Spider-Man 2. Now, I don't think Spidey 2 will do as well as the original, and I know that people can and do see more than one movie, but I think that'll pretty much bury it. I doubt if 9/11 will take it's weekend. If so, I'll lose some of the faith in my fellow Americans I regained from the outpouring of love for President Reagan this week and the outstanding performance of The Passion.
