Thank you Mr. Prime minister.

according to Box Office Mojo, Michael Moore's movie disappeared from over 600 screens this week (only 1,217 screens this week).

The film has made more than $100 million, the highest ever for a documentary

Calling it a "documentary" film is Orwellian at best. Merriam-Webster defines documentary as "FACTUAL, OBJECTIVE ", however no intellectually honest person would claim that Moore's film is either. "Political comedy" or "political commentary" or "polemic" would be a more accurate description.

-"I don't want to watch such a politically biased movie that much," Koizumi told reporters..."-

The Japanese aren't known for their directness, particularly in the negative; what I read is, "Your movie is stupid, and I won't go see it."

Time for Japan to be allowed an army and let them kick ass!!!

Also, even if one DOES go along with the "documentary" label, the fact remains that "Everest" has grossed more. (Boxoffice mojo's own list of "documentaries" acknowledges that Everest is one, yet in the same breath the site states that it excludes Everest from the documentaries list because it's "large format." Wha??)

But F911 will soon top "Everest." Still, keep this fact in mind when leftards crow about F911 as the "top grossing documentary": (1) it isn't a documentary; and (2) "Everest," which clearly IS a documentary, is the #1 true example of that film in worldwide box office receipts.

Does someone have a running list of all of the heads of state who have denounced Mr. Moore's movie?

I believe that Australia and Saudi Arabia are on this list with Japan. I think Tony Blair spoke out too.

Wow!! Keen grasp of the obvious ...

In other news, he describes Kim Chee as spicy,
declares that monsoons are wet, and called the south
pole "rather cold".

well done, PM!

[RKB-AFG]

Good story - but will it actually make the "news"??

I had a post over the weekend on Moore's appearance on Best Damn Sports Show. I had tuned in to see the baseball scores scrolling at the bottom of the screen. Instead I see Michael Moore being treated like a rock star. The panel members spent the entire segment kissing Moore's big fat butt. They asked questions like "why are you the only filmmaker out there telling the truth?

I immediately took Fox Sports off my remote.

Koizumi expressed support for the United States in the war against Iraq, and Japan has sent Self-Defense Forces troops to the country for postwar reconstruction efforts.

Japan is also giving Iraq $1.5 billion this year, and loaning them $3.5 billion over 2005-2007.
