A troika of bastards: Weinsteins, IFC and Lions Gate to distribute.

[Petronski]

Five hundred screens initially. LOL

"A troika of bastards: Weinsteins, IFC and Lions Gate to distribute."

"...which was formed by Harvey and Bob Weinstein specifically to market Moore's film... "

"Fellowship Adventure Group"= f.a.g.

[quark]

Hmmm, so Lumpy was the product of an illicit liaison between Leni and Herr Schickelgruber? Should retitle his mess of a mock-umentary "Triumph of the Pill."

LOL Gotta be intentional. Are they outing Lumpy?

[Petronski]

Removed from breaking news, and I don't know who to ping....bump.

Yep.

[Petronski]

Shameless self-bump.

This post is buried.
Bump yourself all you want.

Management pulled it from the sidebars. I can understand not wanting to promote the thing. But it IS news on an activism-level, nonetheless.

Check your tickets if you go to the movies to see something else where this crap will be playing. Some liberal ticket sellers were giving other tickets to people who wanted to see The Passion. They claimed you could still see the Passion with it, but didn't want Gibson to get the credit or the money. When I went to see Cheaper By The Dozen with my kids, the ticket person gave me tix for Starsky and Hutch. She said it didn't matter and to go see whatever I wanted. Demand a proper ticket if you get a F-9-11 one.

Ha! I love it! :D

[Petronski]

I wish I could take credit, but I first read it here on FR. I don't know came up with it, but if someone does know, proper credit should be given.

Well, it's a classic for the ages! :)

[Petronski]

If we could just get one of the radio giants to start using it, it might actually stick. It is quite catchy and also quite clever.

Be afraid. Be very, very afraid.

I've let all three know my feelings, will you?

[Petronski]

I think calling FAG will be pointless, but the other two might be worth a call.
