A couple of attorneys is having a film festival with hopes of providing some equal time to libbie-dominated Hollywood fodder.

Would love to see this one!

"I've always been interested in the cultural and political messages in film," Jim Hubbard said. "To be frank, whenever there is such a message, it's liberal. For 40 years the left has had a near monopoly, and we're going to counter that."

Kudos to them... wish I had the funds and time to join them. There is a lot to be told.

That smell of "fear in the morning" may very well be overpowered by the smell of [Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now] by afternoon.

The reality is that this film just out-grossed every other film this weekend. And I'm willing to bet that the figures weren't inflated by any anti-Moore people attending his film.

Just sat through a "60 Minutes" interview, and it appears [Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now].

And in another episode, Moore took up the case of a dying man who had been denied a pancreas transplant by his HMO: "I signed with Humana and all I got was this lousy T-shirt. But no pancreas."

The HMO's PR man kicked Moore out of the building, so Moore held a mock funeral for the dying man outside the company's headquarters. It may have been a stunt, it may have been in questionable taste, but the HMO gave in.
The guy got his pancreas, and is alive and well today.

PR stunts save lives! Who'd o' thunk?!?

From [Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now] Moore's film is the highest grossing documentary. The movie White Chicks outdid the former by some $6 million or so. If you just look at Friday to Sunday, Moore's film has a bit of an edge by $2 million.

It will be interesting to see if Spider Man 2 will eclipse Moore's exercise in film fantasy later this week. I'd be willing to bet that it shows up to be the flash in the pan that it truly is.

What will be interesting about Fahrenheit 9/11 is how many on various boards will comment about the movie WITHOUT ACTUALLY VIEWING IT.

FWIW, I DID see Moore's latest documentary yesterday.

The movie is really 2 movies; the most powerful scenes are in the 2nd part, the war in Iraq: American soldiers and the Iraqi people. Some of this is truly heartbreaking, and has not been seen on any newscasts.

I have read that this movie has sold-out showings in RED states' theatres.

Food for thought for rabid Bush supporters.

CagedTroll: Moore's next documentary is rumored to be titled Sicko, an examination of Health Care in America. Scheduled for 2005??
That excerpt that you posted from 60 Minutes sounds like a launching pad for his new endeavor. (Kudos to him (again!) for his documentary subject choice).

Hmmm . . . . kind of reminds me of what we said about you people who had so much to say about The Passion without seeing it.

Me give THAT MAN a penny of my money? Not happening.

The reason the movie is so big is because it's fiction. The truth is much more boring, and wouldn't sell.

This one might actually interest me - but then again, I'm still not giving him any of my money. Maybe I'll view an illegally burned copy when it comes out on video.

NOPE (from one with a Fahrenheit 9/11 ticket stub).

Can you imagine if the conservative camp had its own "Michael Moore" spreading fabrication across America's movie screens? You would not be able to hear yourself think over the din of howls and screams from the libs. "LIES!!" LIES!!" LIES!!" and other such noise they'd be bellowing.

Latest from boxoffice.guru: F9/11 was number one of the weekend. At a cost of $6 million to produce and $10 million to market, it pulled in over $21 million.

The rest of the White Chicks comparison is interesting. Six times the production costs, three times the marketing, four times as many screens, as F9/11.
