Loews trying to get ANTI-MOORE film to show in its theaters.

[Fla Dem]

The Anti-Moore
The right's answer to lefty Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 might finally get an airing despite Hollywood's effort to blackball it. Producer David Bossie of Citizens United in Washington tells us that theaters have been besieged by customers demanding his Celsius 41.11, which aims to debunk claims against President Bush in Moore's movie. One example: Megatheater Loews has called Bossie to get the movie. And dozens of other chains and independent theaters also want the flick. "After they saw 9/11, " says Bossie, "people called the theaters and said they wanted to see Celsius 41.11 for balance."

and President Kerry should borrow a page from the LBJ playbook....

and use the IRS to "harass" the Loews Company for doing this. You don't have to like it but we must play dirty if we want to defeat these Nazis!

1. I think Carlyle recently bought Lowes.

3. They did - but let them run the movie - if people want to go, let them

this is America. But I bet they'll be disappointed in the turnout. Even with free tickets distributed at churches. Just like all their fake bestsellers.
And won't it be fun to read about that?

10. Fake box office receipts...hmm easy way to launder money

It's a win-win for Carlyle

4. I think they should air it ...

It's their choice ... and mine not to patronize their theaters. I think we need to let go of this one. This film will never have the success of Moore's and I don't think it will have any effect whatsoever on this election.

5. Is there really a demand for it?

Producer David Bossie of Citizens United in Washington tells us that theaters have been besieged by customers demanding his Celsius 41.11

Oh, really?

You mean to tell me that there are a bunch of people who are clamoring to see something that corrects the so-called errors in F911? Who are these people? How did they come to the conclusion that an "answer" needs to be given?

It sounds like pure fiction to me.

[Vickers]

6. Yup....fiction.

Unless it's the same "outraged citizens" protesting the Florida recount. :eyes:

7. Yep, he's gassing

David Bossie, creator of Willie Horton ads, the Clinton Chronicles (murderer!!), and now Celsius 41.11. The guy's such an unstable freakshow, he's been fired by the likes of Dan Burton and Newt Gingrich.

8. Go For It, Loews.

If you want to get suckered by David Bossie, be my guest. Do a double feature with the Clinton Chronicles while you're at it. He's responsible for that steaming heap, as well.

I'd point and laugh at the 30 people in line, but ... there are no Loews theatres where I live. Oh well!

[NYCGirl]

9. There's plenty of Loews where I live, but I doubt there's many Republicans

in lower Manhattan who would line up for this movie.
