The Pukes are tying to stop “Fahrenheit 9/11.” from being seen.

[SlingBlade]

This is some of the text on their site.

“We need these executives to be overwhelmed with letters, phone calls and FAXes… in addition to emails. Sending an email alone is not enough – since in some cases an aide can easily click “DELETE.”
We would like to thank those individuals at Lions Gate Entertainment and IFC Films who support our efforts.”

They are encouraging all their members to E-Mail theater owners to stop the showing of this movie.
We need to counter this Nazi bullshit, It includes a list of E-MAIL adresses of all the major theater owners.

Has anyone else seen this yet ?

1. Oh please these theater companies won't do anything but shrug

No theater will pull the movie for one reason: MONEY. Everyone knows F 9/11 is going to sell out bigtime, and it's going to take a bit more than a bunch of screaming yahoos to make theaters consider screwing themselves out of massive profits.

2. Looks like at least TWO did

THEY LIST Lions Gate Entertainment and IFC Films .

[Suspicious]

7. Lions Gate and IFC are the distributors n/t

[BattyDem]

8. Lions Gate Entertainment and IFC Films ...

are the companies that are distributing Fahrenheit 9/11. If the Repukes are thanking individuals at those companies, then there must be some insiders working there who are trying to screw up the release.

16. Thank the theater chains showing it...

All the chains listed on the following thread are showing F911 somewhere. Thank them, and if they aren't showing it in your area, politely ask them to do so:

3. They're only helping to make the movie even more of a success.

These types of efforts are great. More people will be exposed to the truth about Bush. Thanks, Freepers. It's much appreciated!

[lanparty]

19. Agreed ...

There is no such thing as BAD publicity for a movie.

All they are doing is convincing theatre execs to run the movie since it's clear that it has generated interest.

A lot of theatre chains are run by wingnuts. And those chains aren't going to show it. PERIOD.

So I strongly urge the Freepers to bombard theatre execs with anti F911 messages. It will only convince the execs that they'll sell a lot of popcorn!!!!

4. Reactionary, but failed

Moore won't be stopped. Too much buzz, and too much money to be made from this film. Moveamericaforward.org is very reactionary and will have little success in silencing an Oscar-winning director and Palm d'Or winning film. We will hear gospel from St. Michael.

12. Hi unteagles!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[SlingBlade]

5. They do show their fascist colors don't they

Fucking Nazis
:dem:

6. I talked to Regal Entertainment today

They told me that the positive reception to their decision to show "Fahrenheit 9/11" has been "thrilling".

It's too bad that the FReeps have nothing else to do with their time but drive the admission dollars to Michael Moore's film even higher.

Then again, are we surprised by this?

9. Well, Gotta go nitey nite folks

Have a good one.
:toast:

[PROGRESSIVE1]

10. Wonderful!!!! Fahrenheit 9/11's success could ruin Eisner!!!

DAS FReepers don't understand that the market is DEMANDING this movie.

:bounce:

[lanparty]

20. Freepers don't understand supply and demand ..

They don't understand economics PERIOD!!!!! They think that everything is powered by SUPPLY.

Sorry, but DEMAND drives the market. This is why we have a war on drugs that we will NEVER win!!!!!!

11. I Wonder If There'll Be Scalpers???

[bobthedrummer]

13. You got it right, kiloman-it is NAZI bullshit similar to burning books

but fortunately some of US never forgot.

[enki23]

14. relax. we'll be voting with our ticket purchases

boycotts only work when there's a credible threat of financial harm. the only theatre to show it in this area (that i know of) down in new orleans, shows a lot of foreign films. republicans don't much go there anyway.

[Skittles]

15. LOL

what these fascists are doing in trying to prevent this documentary from being seen IS "Nazi bullshit".

[Canuckistanian]

17. I don't know who these "insiders" are

Lion's Gate is a Canadian company. There's not too many of us who are sympathetic to Shrub and his storm troopers.
Besides, why would they want to put themselves out of work? Controversy sells movies. You just have to look at The Passion of the Christ.

18. Trying in vain...

Let them waste resources on this lost "cause".

21. The Political Correctness of the Right

Isn't it funny and amazing that a group of people like the right, who complain about not being able to say what they want are the ones who are always trying to stop people from saying what they want.

[opihimoimoi]

22. Truly amazing. They are so despicable its pathetic

[vetwife]

23. Won't happen..They love Green better than Politics

Idealistic Winger can't stop tht Love of money ..it outweighs any ethics they think they all possess which they don't !

[Jabbery]

24. Means they're desperate

Republican scumbags always do this when they know that they are about to be busted.

They always say: "Stop them! The truth must NOT be allowed to known! It might reveal that we are the enemies of America and the world, and that our Lord and Master Satan is pulling our strings!"
