It's NOT true, dimwit!

They should forget the ratings to see this movie.
Instead I recommend IQ testing.
Your IQ has to be room temperature, at least, to see this.

If it plays around here, I'll be going to yell 'liar' throughout the movie. No, I won't pay to go - I have connections...

Lisa Meyers - on MSNBC - did a 'truth squad' on this abomination and pointed out the lies - one example was Moore shown stopping a politician in the street in D.C. to sign a 'petition' to send the sons or daughters of politicians to war. The politician was a Republican, whose nephew was recently sent to Afghanistan. The 'documentary' is packed with lies to defeat Bush. Good for Lisa Meyers to uncovering this b.s.

Never underestimate the stupidity of a large group of people. It is on a movie screen so it must be true. What a dumd MFer.

Big deal...They got the faithful out during the opening weekend. Let's see if it really has "legs".

I don't believe anything I read in the MSM. Drudge will have the actual number out soon enough. The more people who see this, the better. Even leftwing nutcases may think this movie is over the top.

Drudge already has estimates up for Friday.
If this is true, I bet we will find out it was the result of some organized Dem effort, not unlike get-out-the-vote.

Sold out in Santa Fe too. Big surprise in a town where every other bumper sports a sticker proclaiming no war or Bush lied . You have to wonder how this so-called documentary is doing in more normal places.

From
http://www.boxofficemojo.com/daily/chart/?sortdate=2004-06-25&p=.htm 911 8.2 mil
White chicks 6.8 Mil
Dodgeball 6.4 Mil
Not exactly burning the place up considering the competition and the qquality of the competition.
Shrek2 had an opening weekend of 108 Mil. I don't think that Michael Moron will come anywhere close.

Note that in the article they say the parking lot was filled with cars that had anti-Bush bumper stickers. Note that. The bumper stickers are not pro-Kerry. Not pro-Dems...

Burlingame is mid-way B/T SF and Stanford U. SF has San Francisco Stare U. or, Socialist U. as it is called. So, the choir straddled the theatre and all the lefties were out in force (oops, not a good word to couple with lefty, sorry. NOT!!) Let's see how it does next week. Look at the picture on DRUDGE, MM looks maniaical as in Cookoo's Nest.

For a "so-called" documentary, $8.2 million is in fact burning up the charts. It's already in the #4 position for all-time grosses of documentaries from 1982 on, this according to the boxofficemojo.com listing. Whether the movie has the staying power past the first week or two is another question though...

Imagine this, VP to Michael Moore "F U too!"
Reply 28 - Posted by: mominNoCA, 6/26/2004 4:14:52 PM
Wow. I'll bet it blazed through Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin and SF Counties! In fact, I'd venture that West Hollywood and Santa Monica thought this was the film to see, too!
The real test will be how it did in non-liberal areas.
I'd also be curious to see how Algore's forgettable global warming film did in these areas on release. Did it start out hot and burn out fast?
I'm betting that's what will happen with Moore's garbage. In fact, it will probably never catch on in non-leftist areas.
IRONY ALERT!!!!

Needless to say, but MM has a credibility gap as wide as his backside. He's an Anti-war profiteer who worships only the money, and yet can't see the American blood flowing from his actions.
