Despite Hype Movie Theaters are Rejecting "Fahrenheit 9/11"

Hi, this is Melanie Morgan - Vice Chair of Move America Forward and host of KSFO 560 AM (San Francisco) radio program "Lee Rodgers and Melanie Morgan Show."

I'm honored to work with my friend, Howard Kaloogian, on this important cause to rally Americans to stand united behind the men and women of the armed forces and their mission: fighting the war on terrorism around the world (including in Iraq and Afghanistan).

I've received some interesting information that I wanted to share with you about the hype you've been hearing about Michael Moore's movie "Fahrenheit 9/11" and how widespread the distribution of it will be. Don't believe the lies.

Michael Moore originally boasted that distributors had secured committments to show "Fahrenheit 9/11" in over 1,000 theaters.

Then he said about 1,000 theaters would show the film.

Then he was down to 'at least' 700 theaters would show the film.

Next it was 'at least' 500 theaters would show his propaganda.

Well, as of today when I looked up the theaters on his website I got a total of 417. It seems that the movie theater operators have gotten the message that Michael Moore's anti-American propaganda, his attacks on our troops, his misleading accounts and distortions are rejected by most Americans.

But we still need more help from you. Pick a theatre in your neighborhood that is showing Farehneit 9/11. Find the e-mail address from the list we've provided and let them know what you think of this effort to discredit America's fight on Radical Islamists. If there isn't one, pick another and make that small effort to communicate with the corporate moguls who profit from this slur on our families, friends and neighbors who are risking their lives in this battle to keep the rest of us safer. And then forward our website to others who will support us.

And to those of you in northern California, be sure to listen for more updates on "Move America Forward" on our radio program.

Is there no end to the number of attractive, blond conservative women that seem to propagate and flourish wherever I am not?

[Piedmont Rebel]

You should see what they look like down at Hilton Head, SC for the Republican party gatherings....damn. Makes me proud. No Maureen Dowdy-looking women down there.

I have never noticed that there were less attractive conservative women than liberal. Though the liberal ones seem to be looser. Maybe its your looks?

[Rummyfan]

Bump for reference.

[spodefly]

Yum.

I'll go read the article now ...

[ICX]

The remark was intended on the general dearth of mature, intelligent, and attractive conservative women in my general area, not a self-deprecating shot at my sex life...but seeing as how I am only 20 and still in school, I have the rest of my life to meet these women. (sigh...)

I disagree with the premise of her argument..Moore thrives on publicity, on controversy.. Conservatives should just ignore Moore and his movie..

[Feiny]

I heard Howard Stern going on today about Moores movie as if it were factual. I have friends that watched Bowling for Columbine & believed it. He supposedly makes documentaries....we know they have been de-bunked, but most people don't. Even the friggin Oscar people gave him an award.

There is another movie coming out this summer called:

MICHAEL MOORE HATES AMERICA http://www.michaelmoorehatesamerica.com

It is a true documentary.

[Impeach98]

I think that argument is totally wrong.

There isn't a human being with a pulse in the world who has not seen the media's darling and Hollywood's darling on TV, in the newspaper, on entertainment channels.

You can ignore Michael Moore all you want. The media however will talk about him and how great his trashing of the war effort is until they are blue in the face.

Thank God for people like Melanie Morgan and Howard Kaloogian (who I work for) who are making sure that the other side of the story is heard in the mailine press.

The only anybody around here that would show his rubbish are the college art movie houses I don't go near anyway. Gonna be kind of hard to threaten to boycott a theater I only step into maybe once every 5 years.

Moore's been in this month’s Playboy Magazine. He’s been on MTV, CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox, and in every news and entertainment magazine available at the newsstand.

His distribution company is spending more than $10 million to promote the movie including national TV ads.

Any attention our effort gives to Mr. Moore is that for once there is an alternative view to Moore's message being heard. That this movie is a propaganda film with negative intent. That is... Michael Moore is so willing to achieve his political goals of defeating President Bush that he seeks to have us lose the war against terrorism to accomplish it.

We can't be like kittens and put our paws over our face and hope he goes away. He won't. He has the mouthpiece of the media and we must aggressively meet him there - shame him and condemn him for his motives to undermine our national security and the war on terrorism solely to achieve his obsession of defeating President Bush.

Interesting, this may have an ANTIpassion effect. The overwhelming drive to see the Passion may now be making theater owners nervous that those people will stay away from any theather that shows this propaganda from an admitted communist.

[Impeach98]

LOL. Yeah, in fact there are now almost 10 states where there are ZERO theaters showing the film. In the past five days a bunch of theaters who were going to show the film decided not to after they learned more about the content of the film and some of the stuff that they found 'inappropriate' for a general audience.

In the Centerfold? Yikes. Thst's not a pretty image!

[Lunatic Fringe]

Cinemark is running the film.

Let them know what you think:

We laughed at the Passion comparisons by the Hollywood press. Lion's Gate Entertainment (who is distributing the film for Moore) had said that they believed this would HELP the movie just as attention helped Passion of the Christ.

There is a fundamental flaw in logic though.... raising attention to a movie about the death and resurrection of Christ makes a compelling story for the world to see and consider.

Making a movie that even liberals concede on TV is misleading propaganda (but they say see it anyway since it mocks Bush and he is evil) doesn't resonate with too many people beyond the Far Left.

nice

[ken5050]

Not arguing with your well stated points..my reason is that it won't change ONE mind..it's the equivalent of going on DU to try and reason with them...I can think of far better ways to spend my time, and energy..
