77. I can't wait to see if there's going to be a next ad
Edited on Fri Jul-27-07 12:43 AM by kenny blankenship
One of the worries MM and co. had around the time of the Cannes festival was that the film master and prints would be impounded by the assholes who've hijacked our government. The master was removed by MM and Weinstein to a "secure undisclosed location" outside the U.S. But that wouldn't mean much if the prints were taken out of circulation here because of the government's intent to suppress the film and prosecute Moore.

There will probably be a reichwing "grassroots" attempt to pressure theater chains to stop showing Sicko, regardless of whether the government comes after the film itself. The claim will be that it's UnAmerican to show Sicko since "treason was committed in the filming of this movie, and we are at war dammit!"

We need to think of ways to support Michael Moore, massively and soon. They don't have to actually win any case against him to effectively suppress his film. All they have to do is make him radioactive with accusations and criminal proceedings.
