Ah, I see we have a selection of people that can't read.

If I were to point out that porn is a multi-billion dollar business and extremely profitable, does that mean I'm in favor of porn?

My point is that, from a purely financial and box-office standpoint, 911 is wildly successful. That has nothing to do with the fact that 911 is a worthless sack of s*** and lies.

And attempting to spin it as some sort of financial or box office failure simply makes people look silly and incapable of objective analysis.

It's already making a profit and for the category of film it is, it's success is virtually unprecedented.

99% of all movies have a rapid decline in box office after the opening weekend (even many successful ones.) 911 is likely to have a rapid decline, but that won't be any evidence that it's a "failure" or that somehow it's been "defeated."

I personally think GWB will win by a mild landslide in November. Whether he's re-elected or not won't be the measure of whether 911 was a financial success; it is already.

It will never make the money Passion of the Christ did, of course. Is every single film that makes less money than Passion a failure, now?

And if people are moronic enough to start picketing or blockading theaters, no doubt 911 will be even more successful thanks to the additional free publicity.

At least in a sort of roundabout way you are admitting way that michael moore is a political pornagrapher, and thus your admiration of him.

I surmise you are all in favor for politcal pornagraphy, which is similar to sexual pornography, in that it appeals to a human beings worst instincts.

Every single "political" film is.
