Out of honesty, I could never vote for the movie. Which is why it'll get a decent rating: Anyone who would even go to such a movie would rate it as a ten just to promote the movie itself.
I'm delighted to finally read that Bradbury is asking for his title back. A big infringment if you ask me to use the authors title without permission simply by changing the numbers.
The current issue of Playboy Magazine "features" an interview with Moore. Here is a copy of the letter I just emailed to Playboy. Nothing I have done or will do on this lovely Father's Day will make my day more than this:
Dear Playboy:
I have been a subscriber to your magazine for over 30 years. After having seen that, in this month's issue, you chose to give a forum to Michael Moore by featuring him in your Interview, I am afraid that this is where we must part ways. Moore is a vile, contemptible anti-American who attempts to disguise his spew of pure propaganda by calling it journalism. You have a bona-fide First Amendment right to print whatever you please. I am exercising my right to ignore you. Please refund the unused balance of my subscription payment. Upon receipt, I will forward it to the George W. Bush re-election campaign.
Sincerely yours,
(name and address)
GAG ALERT!

I voted it a 10, voted Passion of Christ 1, and reminded you guys that Ronald Reagan is roasting in hell now. Also, what is a ZOT? It sounds like something that comes out of Jim Robinson's butt.
I don't vote for films I have not seen.
Saw part of a cnn report on the movie last night, (just flipping past). They said "This will be the most talked about movie of the year!" Ha, I don't think it will come close in that dept to The Passion
I voted it a "1". Too bad we can't give it a "zero".
Yes, but how will it effect whirled peas ?
