(206,072 posts)That his film will be coming out before the midterms, good strategy on his part, but unfortunately we are the ones who will go see it, not the deplorables, as if they could be influenced anyway. But it might reach a few, so kudos to him for the effort, he really is a national treasure!

(206,072 posts)I ended up seeing at the closest theater where it was playing at the time - in a city about 20 minutes south of me. (And every single seat was filled!) It finally made it to my neck-of-the-woods a few weeks later, not at the regular theater, but at a "dinner and a movie" place downtown. A friend of mine went to see it there and I warned her that it wasn't a "dinner movie," but that was the only place it was playing at the time. So I'm guessing it'll take awhile to make its way around the country...

(206,072 posts)And I hope it gets wide release. "Fahrenheit 9/11" definitely tapped into something back then - like I said, the theater was full, I sat next to an older couple whose son had to sit in the row behind them. And the lady sitting next to me - who I had obviously never seen before - immediately started telling me exactly what she thought of Bush*! LOL. I gave her a couple of website suggestions - including DU! And if feelings were running strongly back then, it's nothing compared to right now!
