LOL! Yes, I already know what "points" the movie makes and find them easy to detroy (the no bid contracts for Halliburton that were also being used during the Clinton administration, the "fact" that we went to war in Afghanistan to build a pipeline for Unocal, the Florida election lie, the idea that George W. Bush is bought and paid for by the Saudis... who BTW opposed the war in Iraq).

Still, I am considering seeing the movie (I plan to wear a Bush shirt into it) and was wondering if anyone else here has actually seen it. I'd be curious to know what kind of response you got, especially if you let people in the audience know what your point of view is.

It's BEST day was $9,868, and that was on a Friday (the 2 New York only days don't count, as the highest theater count was 8).

Check out the new book:

"Micheal Moore is a Smart and Sveldt Historian"

by Al Franken

[Jalapeno]

Hey, if they can call F911 a "documentary" we can compare it to SM2.

Knock yourselves out then.

Michael Moore is a master at what he does - Manipulation. He has managed to get the rabid Left, the Media, the Hollywood leftists and even many Democratic politicians to make a lot of money for him, simply by telling them and showing them what they want to hear and see.

It makes no difference if it is true. In fact, it helps if some of it is not.

He has managed to use the idiots to promote and market his film, with little personal cost to himself. The people who are interviewed in his film, and the people who have enabled him should feel one thing - used.

Conservatives are proving themselves useful to him as well. Count how many MM threads there still are on FR this week. Many of them near or pure vanities. This type of attention enables him more, for it causes people on both sides and the middle to consider the film to see what all the buzz is about.

So as everyone cheers today in this thread that Moore has made only $3.5 million dollars in one day of pure profit, don't feel used at all.

Of course, they'll blame it on Moore not getting it into as many screens as he wanted.
Oh, no-- the CNN movie reviewer/Moore supporter bemoaned the fact that Moore selected a bad time to release the movie-- Spiderman and two other potential blockbusters are being released.

[Aunt Polgara]

Perfect picture as a reply to Moore's anti-American rant! Maybe spidey is political after all. :-)

[The Wizard]

as posted on FR...this was a movie who was headed down from the day it opened.....

[EllaMinnow]

Excellent! You deserve a Buford Buffalo Burger for that.

[91B]

Too freakin' cool (love your screenname).

[rwfromkansas]

It is still number two. I am a bit surprised it still pulled in above 3 million.

It apparently will have some staying power.

We need a couple big films to come along to knock it down, but there is nothing really coming out now except for Spiderman.

[rwfromkansas]

They may just have been curious.

Did they say they would change their vote from the film?

[rwfromkansas]

I don't get it either. I would rather see my dog poop than go see Spiderman.

[keysguy]

I went last night--sold out!!

[keysguy]

Awesome wall

[Chewbacca]

Ask yourself this question: How many DVD sales of F9/11 do you think there will be compared to Spiderman?

Spiderman trounces F-911

I guess people are in the mood for gritty realism rather than fantasy.

[spacewarp]

I saw it last night, and to borrow from one Freeper, JUST DAMN!!! It was AMAZING! Great visuals, great acting, and even better plot.

There were some interesting suprises.

I won't give any away. But it also had one of the funniest scenes I've ever seen in a movie. It's in the elevator. If you see it, you'll understand.

"There's a hero in all of us."

She delivered the line so perfectly, it sent chills down my spine. The whole speech. It was amazing.

Go Spidey, go Spidey, go Spidey, go Spidey,......!

"It's all part of this vast Kirsten Dunst conspiricy"

[yarddog]

I thought she was good as Mary Jane in Spiderman 1, but she really is not that pretty. But then maybe that was on purpose. It sort of makes her more interesting.
