Movie goers are just following the theme of the movie. Why pay for a ticket? That would just be evil capitalism.

I wonder if he or his audience see the irony in making a movie trashing capitalism. What would he do if it happened to be a success? :)

Only a Capitalist would actually count (the box office).

Moore knew his film was a flop when he agreed to go on Hannity’s show. Why else would he gp there to get humiliated in front of someone he doesn’t respect if the piece of fictional garbage had done well before test audiences?

Michael Moore will support whichever side he thinks will make him the most money.

It’s already playing at our “last peanut swirling in the bowl” theater.

Did any of the idiots that attended this socialist pig’s latest propaganda-fest bother to question why they were having to pay?

“Fahrenheit 9-11” made a fortune, I guess Moore thought he could repeat that success, looks like it didn’t happen. Ha, ha!

He probably spent less than a million making it, so I’m sure he’d call it a success.

Its’ unfortunate that this film even made $14 million.

When it goes to video, I suggest the title should be changed, by liberating and paraphrasing the title of Abbie Hoffman’s literary masterpiece, “Steal this Tape”.

Maybe his followers, though a bit slow in the head, are catching onto what a hypocrite this guy is. Communists hate capitalism.....except when they're making the money.

By the way, Mikey, how's that Halliburton stock doing?

I know of one person who saw this movie. Typically, he thinks life is a plot, and he is one of the smart ones who can see it. Borderline 9-11 MIHOP type.

I think $14 million probably covered his production and distribution costs, but not much Moore.
