To: My Favorite Headache
At my local theater there was an enormous line of people waiting to get into the Saturday afternoon showing...I've never seen that kind of crowd for any film in recent years, not even Star Wars or Lord of the Rings. I suspect it was an organized group trying to create an impression, though - not casual movie-goers.

I went to see Shrek 2 instead... ;)

Here in North Carolina, the Democrats are buying out the theaters and inviting the "loyal."

Keep in mind that by limiting the number of theaters the impression is given that the entire world is lined up to see the garbage.

It is being organized, local democrat politicians and (whisper) democrat stonghold black churches have organized political junkets to see this infomercial.

Churches as a tool of the Democrats, again.

Were there any other theaters in your area showing Moore's film? In some cities, only one theater was showing this film, so the lines tended to be long due to this fact. In Fayettville, North Carolina, a single art house theater, seating only 150 people, was the only theater in that city showing Moore's film. Because of this, the film's showings were sold out at that theater.
