<snip>
Based on a record-breaking gross of $94 million through last weekend, theaters already have sold an estimated 12 million tickets to "Fahrenheit 9/11." A Gallup survey conducted July 8-11 said 8 percent of American adults had seen the film at that time, but that 18 percent still planned to see it at a theater and another 30 percent plan to see it on video.

More than a third of Republicans and nearly two-thirds of independents told Gallup they had seen or expected to see the film at theaters or on video.

1. now Gallup needs to do a poll asking the Reps and Indys who have
seen it - did it change their perspective or how they're going to vote

2. One of my conservative friend went to see it, but
he paid to see Harry Potter and went to a different theater to see F-9/11.
He said he couldn't give Moore his money. Thats okay, Moore got the message to him. He of course didn't agree with the movie and called it all lies.

3. That coming from a person
who sneaked in and didn't pay to see it. Tee Hee...

At least he didn't steal from the theater owner. I doubt MM would care that he lost the $$ from that ticket, so long as people see it.

6. I must admit I did it once too
I went to see Battlefield Earth, but I paid for South Park.
In my teenage years I paid to see Adventures in Babysitting and stayed for 3 or four movies. It was something we did when we were young and stupid.
While going to see a moive and not paying for it is stealing, I can;t really cast stones since I have done it too.

I promise to never do it again.
