Producers of An American Carol claim sabotage.

[edbermac]

The producers of the liberal-bashing satire An American Carol claimed Tuesday that they had received reports of "ticket fraud," and suggested that it could be the reason why the film's weekend box-office figures were so low.

On the film's official website, a notice asked those who attended the movie, "Please check your ticket. If you were in fact one of those people that were "mistakenly" sold a ticket for another movie please fill out the form below. Hold on to your ticket so we can have proof." The notice continued: "If you have noticed other irregularities with the theaters in your area please let us know in the comment section below. For instance, Rated R film rating (when in fact we are rated PG-13), posters not being up, not being listed on the marquee, image or focus problems, sound issues, etc." By today (Wednesday), the notice had been removed from the site but remained cached on Google.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

11. Well, you know, republican IS the new................

[LynneSin]

20. Sorry the Waaaambulance is still attending to John McCain from last night

2. Hilarious

when we got our tickets to mahrer's movie a lady got hers to that piece of crap

The people selling tickets just chuckled to themselves

14. I went to the movies Monday afternoon....

...and asked the ticket seller how "American Carol" was doing. He said I was the first person to even say the movie's name all day.

I saw "Righteous Kill" by the way. Stay away. Far away.

3. This is the most absurd thing yet I've heard out of the right wing

please!

Yeah, theater owners all over the U.S. have taken the time and money to make sure it's perceived that no one is going to see this movie that got horrible reviews all over the place.

Surprise, surprise, 18-25 year old males (the highest ticket sales) didn't want to spend almost $10 to watch a Michael Moore look-a-like get smacked around for an hour and a half.

6. "Please check your ballot."

If you were in fact one of those people that were "mistakenly" given a ballot for another candidate, please fill out the form below. Hold on to your ballot so we can have proof." The notice continued: "If you have noticed other irregularities with the polling places in your area please let us know in the comment section below."

There! Now that makes sense!

[Dukkha]

7. I accidentally saw a movie about Pat Buchanan

There was a hanging chad on my ticket stub so my movie purchase wasn't counted

[Dr. Strange]

8. Damn butterfly movie theaters!

[Critters2]

19. I love your ranting smiley!! nt

[Chimichurri]

9. This is just a marketing ploy for free publicity. The right wing always

has to cheat to get ahead, I see movie making is no exception.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

10. Sounds like they are mocking real voter fraud......

....or setting up for when they claim the Democrats "steal" the election. Pathetic.

[Tim4319]

12. This is something that has been going on with black films for years!

Just ask Tyler Perry!

[gratuitous]

13. What whiny ass titty babies

But avoidance of personal responsibility for making a crappy "movie" that no one wants to pungle up ten bucks to see is the very essence of modern conservatism. It can't be that nobody wants to buy a turd! There must be a conspiracy against turd buyers.

15. i went to the movies this weekend, not to see that obviously but it was playing in

one next to where i was and there were about 10 people there.

[gatorboy]

16. Who thought this was a great idea anyway?

Making a Pro-Republican film when the Republican running things has some of the lowest approval ratings in history, well, that's just stupid.

Even by Naked Gun standards. :P

[spanone]

17. oh my gawd, someone is tampering with of ALL THINGS....movie tickets...fuck me

[SmileyRose]

18. Those darn America hating leftist movie theatres.

LOL :)

[lame54]

21. I believe it WAS sabotaged...

sabotaged by bad acting horrible writing and a dumb-ass premise

[Starry Messenger]

22. Reactions from Bizarro World:

I saw it! It was funny! For once it was nice to see somebody making fun of the filth. Instead of having to sit and watch the filth make fun of me.

[Liberal_Dog]

24. ROTFLMAO

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

25. There is a saying in the film biz about bad movies, it goes something like this...

The film sucked.

[JackRiddler]

26. Never saw it coming...

And yes, it would have made a fitting end to the movie itself. Can't believe those geniuses didn't think of it.

[noonwitch]

27. If it does poorly enough, they can release it to DVD for Christmas sales!

I highly doubt HBO and Showtime are going to get in a bidding war over it.
