"It is strange that the people voted to elect Bush and now select Michael Moore's film as their favorite picture - Goes to show perhaps that - Truth is stranger than fiction at times - as in turn of events - "

Please!!!
Online poling on controversial issues is notoriously un-reliable and easily hijacked by organized efforts by people with agendas.

Give me a break. The "people's choice" for favorite film is "voted" on by the people who buy tickets.

In 2004, the No. 1 movie was "Shrek 2" from DreamWorks with $437 million in domestic ticket sales. Followed by Sony Pictures' "Spider-Man 2" ($373 million) and Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" ($370 million), one of the highest-grossing independently produced movies of the modern era.

The fat slob's "film" made only $120 million. How does that make it the favorite film?
