Wanna bet that on the day SICKO is released..

[firefox_fan]

Some OTHER "big event" will happen to divert attention from it?

[Lex]

1. You mean it hasn't been released?

:shrug:

[helderheid]

2. No, not officially. There are sneak peeks now - officially this coming Saturday.

[Occulus]

3. heh

And even so, it's generating a huge amount of buzz.

I predict it'll be a grand slam at the box office. It could well be the most-seen film of the summer if the buzz I'm hearing everywhere is any indication.

5. It's in a few theaters sprinkled around the country

as a shot across the bow of the Feds who think they're going to confiscate it and suppress it.

Wide scale release is this Friday.

[Lex]

6. Okay thanks, I thought so.

I plan on seeing it. :thumbsup:

7. Confiscate it? That's crazy...

[Warpy]

9. Those are the noises they're making

You see, there is an embargo against Cuba, and unless one is a well connected corporation, one is unable to do business with Cuba.

They're trying to say his movie was filmed in Cuba and can be confiscated under the same law that prevents tobacconists from ordering Cuban cigars.

Yes, it's convoluted. They're Reupblics.

10. Yeah it IS nutz. Moore stashed a copy of the DVD in Canada when the Feds threatened to charge him

for going to Cuba "illegally" seeking treatment for the 9/11 first responders who were volunteers and uninsured.

His defense is that he went as a journalist. His lawyer is David Boise. He'll be all right.

11. Oh, the lawyer who defended the Gore case in Florida?

I like him...

[stellanoir]

13. Also in front of the SCOTUS in '00.

Wears wrinkled suits and sneakers to court. Is quite an eccentric but ya gotta love that style.

14. :-)

8. Yep Paris will be caught once again DUI or just as bad

She'll be off in Africa adopting an orphan!!

[gatorboy]

12. When it's released, everyone should call in sick to work to go see it.

Seems fitting. :)
