OMG, you don't think Moore didn't manipulate this? Right down to never telling anybody that a year ago Disney said it wasn't going to distribute it?
Goodness gracious, this has ALL been orchestrated. They KNEW it would open big -- and it will die big, too.
I posted this on an earlier thread but want to post it again because you guys have to go see these nuts. It is so unreal the way these "people" are reacting to this tripe.
"I was told my comments were a great joy to DUers on an earlier thread where I said these big skin head types were crying and screaming that were around me so I didn't yell out BS like I wanted to. But I stick by what I said whatever these guys were, biker fags or whatever they were big and nuts and screaming and crying. I swear you guys, go see it just to watch the crowd you have no idea what we are sealing with in this country. I've never seen people act like such animals. If you saw the movie 28 Days Later you have some idea and I'll say again, these leftist fanatics are a greater threat to our country from the inside than the communist in the 50's were by far. I have never seen so many people so worked up in public in my entire life. Tears streaming down their faces, pumping their fist at the screen yelling curse words anytime someone from the Bush admin appeared on screen. Unreal. You guys have to see it to believe it."
Of COURSE it's going to die big; most films do.
It's just when next week Spider Man 2 crushes it at the box office, the massive dancings of jigs about "victory" over 911 that is going to occur around here is going to be pretty silly; like Moore or anyone EXPECTED it to lead the box office two weeks in a row or defeat a massive-budget summer blockbuster.....
And it would not shock me if it pulled in 100-200 million+ overseas.
For a political documentary that's unprecedented success.
