Just saw "The US vs. John Lennon" - GO SEE IT.

[StellaBlue]

Inspiring. Just the film DUers need to see. If only we all had John (and Yoko's) courage and ability to embrace our eccentricity ("they" will never "get it" anyway, so why worry that they think we're nuts?).

There were about 20 people for the 9:30pm Monday night show. Lots of laugh-out-loud moments. The biggest laugh was had when Geraldo Rivera simply appeared onscreen. And the ironic blindness of G Gordon Liddy remains astonishing.

Go see it!

Power to the people, right on!

2. If I had the money Lennon did when Yoko met him

I would be the most eccenctric and fearless person you know

[Imagevision]

3. The movie isn't being promoted/distributed half as good as F9-11

4. Thank you so much. I was going to go yesterday and didn't make it

"A working class hero is somthing to be....

you must learn how to smile when you kill,
if you want to be like the ones on the Hill.... "

John Lennon, my all time hero.

5. So did the FBI/CIA kill John Lennon?

The more we read the more it seems like another patsy covered up another government crime.

[StellaBlue]

6. The film didn't address that.

I have always had my suspicions, though... I mean, come on...

Sigh...

8. Yes-I really think so..

I've been reading up on it since I heard about the movie. The most alarming thing is the doorman at the Dakota that night-the one who told Chapman to run away after the shooting- one Jose Perdomo.
He worked in the CIA with watergate burgler Frank Sturgis for 10 years. Google Jose Perdomo + John Lennon

Check out this cartoon from Mack White <http://www.mackwhite.com/lennon.html> and read some of the links. Also, his son Sean thinks the government did it.

So Says Son Sean

The BFEE has robbed me of all my heroes.

7. It was great !!

very, very inspiring! I really enjoyed Gore Vidal-"John Lennon stood for life, and that's a good thing. Mr. Nixon and Mr. Bush stand for death, and that's a very bad thing."

9. I'm looking forward

to it coming around here. I'll be going to see it with my wife and kids, as often as they will go.

[City Lights]

10. I saw it over the weekend and loved it.

I laughed and I cried.

I was surprised that it didn't open in more theaters. The closest one to me was about 20 miles away. It was worth the drive though.

Declare peace!

[The Backlash Cometh]

11. Hey, I resent that. I consider myself very eccentric.

The more they twist their noses, the happier I am.

[Triana]

12. If they ever show it here I will!!

I also want it on DVD! Dammit!

[Hailtothechimp]

13. DVD will be worth having when it comes out.

Lionsgate made the film (because none of the "major" studios would have. So they don't have the muscle that the others do. Sad, really.

[raccoon]

14. It's not coming to my neck of the woods. I'll have to wait for DVD. nt
