According to this article, there's pretty much no point to having an election any more. Kerry's a 100% lock, according to Yahoo.
"more than any other documentary in history"Isn't that like saying more than any other movie about gay cowboys eating pudding?

F9/11 is the highest grossing documentary of all time, minus all the other documentaries. I read the statement about Michael Moore's new movie being named the highest documentary of all time "apart from concert films and movies made for IMAX theaters". This got me curious. It seems like a heavy disclaimer. So I did a little research. I found out that most documentaries are put out on IMAX screens. Here is a list the highest grossing large-screen documentaries put out by MacGillivray Freeman Films:
”Everest” (1998)--$128 million (the highest grossing documentary film of all time*)
”To Fly” (1976)--$118 million (the second highest grossing documentary film of all time)
”The Living Sea” (1995)---$92 million (Academy Award nominee)
”Dolphins” (2000)--$75 million (Academy Award nominee)
”To The Limit” (1989)--$72 million
Last year’s “Coral Reef Adventure” has grossed $38 million to date after playing in 75 IMAX theaters, and it continues to open in new theaters today.
So, apparently Moore's 23 million has a long way to go before reaches 128 million. That's a pretty good use of a disclaimer if you think about it.

William,
Very well done on both posts. BTTT to you!
Look at this at a new angle and 22 million dollars at the box office is NOT a political victory.
Assuming that the vast majority of the people that saw it over the weekend were people that voted for Gore or Nader in 2000, which would equal 53,338957 people. Now take the box office money rounded-up to the nearest million ($22 Million) and devide that by an average of $7 a ticket and you get 3,142,000 people who saw it. Less than 6 percent of the liberal to leftist base has seen it. The movie is preaching to the choir, but most members of the choir are missing.
Thanks, Sergei (hey, I thought you'd been traded)
91 is Sergei, man...91!!!
The 9 is my birth month...
Sorry. I got married a couple of years ago and have hardly seen hockey since. Not that I'm complaining...
I want to go see Dodgeball myself, it looks pretty funny.
