This film is playing to and preaching to the cBush-chating choir. What that don't realize is that Islamo fascists want to blow them up too. They just don't want to blow up Republicans and conservatives.

[AntiGuv]

Ummm.. I know this because the film was estimated at $9,447 per screen on Friday.

$9,447 x 3 days = $28,341

The other parts are just well-known or easily-looked-up facts.

We are going to have to nominate Moore for the Leni Riefansthal award.

Moore isn't fit to shine Leni Riefansthal's jack boots.

The Passion- Opening Weekend: $83,848,082 /3,043Theaters/ $27,554 average. And Gibson didn't have the media on his side.

I don't consider it a documentary in the way that documentaries have existed up until now. I consider this a feature film with major studio backing coupled with a huge media publicity machine. I'll agree with you if, next weekend, he pulls in more than $6,000,000 on any given night.

Hi log cabinrepublican, sheesh if you are truly a Republican, could you define yourself politically other than by your sexual proclivities?

BTW, moore's film did well in the gore areas of the country, that is no surprise, although you and your ally, AntiGuv are doing your best to spin that fact.

[AntiGuv]

No problem. I wasn't sure if you misread it and the typo was somewhat funny.

[The Wizard]

the nut crowd that want to see this film will see it fast, and the numbers will dr4op like a ton of brinks after that initial rush

[ServesURight]

Once you go white....you'll never go back.

Yeah soooo?? Could you give me a screen by screen breakdown of where the highest gross was.

Just using my common sense it was in the most democrat areas.

Most people on FR will go with that common sense, but you have never been a fan of common sense on FR.

[AntiGuv]

I am not spinning anything. I didn't say anything one way or another about where the film did well but it sure isn't any kind of stunning shock that it would do well in liberal areas. It never occurred to me that anyone could be so dim that they would expect otherwise or need to have that specified.

[dogbyte12]

You are a democrat. Have you seen the film yet? ;)

[muir_redwoods]

The film is a new art form, the Crock-umentary

Who the heck cares?

Just using my common sense it was in the most democrat areas.

I am awe-inspired by your amazingly attuned common sense. Really, I am.

Most people on FR will go with that common sense, but you have never been a fan of common sense on FR.

I have certainly never been a fan of your inane nonsense that has no bearing or relevance to what I'm saying. I can't be bothered with deciphering your fantasies so please do me a favor and stop bothering me.

IOW, antiguv got caught and can't up with the statistics and is spinning away in a futile attempt to save his already discreditied(in his mind), IMO, omnipotent attitude.

[Gman_2424]

I agree on the need for a point by point rebuttal. I know it is early but we need some rebuttals at least for some of the major points in the movie.

Has anyone rebutted the Saudi and Bin Laden connection to Bush crap?

That one right there should be easy to do and would be a good one to throw in thrir faces.

hmm, I think I am going to start doing some research.

IOW, antiguv lost and is using lame hyperbole to make himself feel better.

Awwww, poor baby, your self-esteem has been bruised.

We are going to have to nominate Moore for the Leni Riefansthal award. Propaganda hailed as art.

I have to disagree on that. Triumph of the Will was a positive film that glorified the Nazis at their Nueremburg rallies--it was intended to lift up the spirits of the German people.

A vastly more correct comparison is the Nazi propaganda film Der ewige Jude (The Eternal Jew), a blatantly vile anti-Semitic film that used a lot of hot button images to get its point across (just like Moore did with Fahrenheit 9/11). Der ewige Jude was done under close supervision of the Nazi Propaganda Minister Josef Goebbels and released in 1940 to justify the Nazi progrom against the Jews. In short, Moore's latest film is the 2004 equivalent of Der ewige Jude.
