WTF?? Moore's film being pulled from theaters? Truie?

[Armstead]

Tonite on MSRNC's Scarboro he's supposed to be talking about F9-11 being pulled from theaters. This was a teaser so it may be hype, but I guess now I gotta subject myself to his show to find out.

Anyone else heard this? This is the first I've heard.

[Langis]

1. I'm guessing it's BS

Scarbarough really has a hard on for Michael Moore doesn't he?

[LiberalFighter]

31. Is it possible??

That he can get a hard on?

[Cat Atomic]

36. He's in the anger business.

He'd evaporate if he didn't have an enemy to point at and hate. Most of the right wing is that way, actually.

[Dookus]

2. and it's likely the last you'll hear of it

Scarborough is a liar, and likely a murderer.

The movie will open on far more screens than any documentary in history, and it will likely expand from there, depending on the response.

[Stephanie]

3. They keep adding theaters in NYC

Every time I check the site there are more theaters. I bought tickets tonight online because they added a theater closer to me.

[mmonk]

4. And adding theatres

in the Raleigh Durham area of NC since the last time I checked. The anti-movie movement must be backfiring.

[w13rd0]

5. added 3 theatres in st louis

pig eyes is just a bitter rw hack

[Warren DeMontague]

6. I Just Have One, Simple Question...

How Many Screens in Ohio?

[peekaloo]

7. look here

[LiberalFighter]

34. What's the deal?

All tickets have to be purchased here? Or buy them as usual when you arrive?

[peekaloo]

50. you can buy them at the window (nt)

[SW FL Dem]

35. OMG - Fahrenheit 9/11 is coming to my town

and I live in fundie Repug Florida. This is unfriggin believable!!

[madrchsod]

8. check moores website

and the movies website..should have an up to date list state by state

[NMDemDist2]

9. or the home page here at DU--link at top left of page eom

[Poiuyt]

10. It's true in Wisconsin

They orginally had 7 or 8 theaters listed. Then all of a sudden it was down to one. They have since added one more theater to the list, both in the Milwaukee area. I can't believe that it's not scheduled for Madison. And I hope that it makes it into Northeastern Wisconsin.

[RetroLounge]

12. Nah, it's bullshit

I drove by ther Oriental Theatre on Milwaukee's east side and it up on the Marquee for June 25th.

No theatre is gonna drop this flick, as it's gonna make a shitload of cash...

Dumb phuck Rat-Face-Joe-The-Murderer is gonna help sell MORE tickets.

RL

[Poiuyt]

17. I hope you're right

I know you're right about the Oriental. That's one of the ones listed on the F911 website. But there were also a couple of theaters in Madison and one in Ashwaubenon that have been dropped from the F911 website. Maybe these will come back and be posted again. I don't know whay they were dropped from being posted.

[southlandshari]

24. now you see them, now you don't...

For the past couple of weeks there was only one theater in Alabama listed for opening weekend of FH911, the Rave Festival Plaza in Montgomery. Then a few days ago that theater listing was gone and two more (Birmingham and Mobile) were added. I talked with the manager of the Rave in Montgomery earlier today and he said as far as he knows they are still slated for the premiere, but nothing will be confirmed until the day before (Thursday, 6/24).

I have sweet-talked ten other people into attending opening night (plus my husband and me), even if it means a long drive, as chances are nil it will open in our small town. None of these folks would have ever made the effort to stand up and be counted during the opening weekend, and more than half of them would probably not even see the movie without some encouragement from someone they know and trust. Of course, they may deny they ever knew me after we see the movie, but at least I'll get them in the door!

The uncertainty about where FH911 will premiere and how one can actually get advance tickets is maddening. I know it can't really be helped, I'm just venting a bit. I'm a relatively new DU member, though I've lurked for more than a year. I started a thread asking for success stories on purchase of advance tickets, but got little response. Is this a reflection of distrust for newbies?

[Poiuyt]

27. I think newbies are always welcome!

And thanks for the hope that the film will be shown in my area, even if they're not advertising it.

[0rganism]

32. I don't know of any deep secret to getting advance tickets

If your theatre of choice has an advance ticket service, you can probably get F911 tix there. If you've got 10 people going, you may even qualify for a group purchase. I just read through the F-911 ticket FAQ, and it looks like it's going to vary from theatre to theatre.

http://www.f911tix.com/faq.html

Usually, DUers are polite and cautious around newbies, but I doubt you were outright ignored because of newbieness. Hell, I've been here for years and people still don't reply to my posts. :D

[jmags]

41. Unfortunately...there is definately a distrust of newbies.

I can understand why...but some people take their skepticism of low post counts a bit too far. I can't help you too much with my own experiences of advanced tickets, but welcome to DU!

[ClassWarrior]

45. It's scheduled for Madison.

Don't count on the web. CALL your local theater chains and ask. If they say yes, thank them. If they say no, politely ask them to add it. It works!

[dolo amber]

11. A) It's Scarborough

B) How's a movie that's not even IN theaters yet gonna be pulled FROM theaters? :freak: :crazy:

[oregonjen]

13. He has an update on his website

A rw group called Move America Forward is raising tons of money to force the theatres to scrap their plans of showing it. It worked with the Reagan movie and Moore is determined to not have that happen to him.

[Mike Niendorff]

37. figures.

Maybe after they're done with the movies, they'll use the leftover money to burn some books.


MDN

[Scairp]

44. But that was television

This is a much different animal. Theatrical releases are almost untouchable when it comes to boycotts. I think after the opening weekend, much of the controversy will die down and these rat bastards will have failed in their attempt to subvert the 1st Amendment. Much ado about nothing if you ask me.

[gristy]

14. 20 theaters in Massachusetts

I seriously doubt anything but a handful of theaters (if that) are changing their mind. Scarboro is simply hoping that by saying something, it'll come true. I'll keep my eye on the MA total. I'll be very surprised if it drops.

Boston, MA AMC Fenway Cinema 13
Boston, MA LCE Boston Common
Brookline, MA Coolidge Corner Theatre
Cambridge, MA LCE Harvard Square 5
Danvers, MA LCE Liberty Tree Mall 20
Dennis, MA Cape Cinema
Framingham, MA AMC Framingham 14
Great Barrington, MA Triplex Cinemas
Marlboro, MA Regal Solomon Pond Mall 15
Methuen, MA LCE Methuen 20 at the Loop
N. Falmouth, MA Regal Nickelodeon Cinema 1-5
Nantucket, MA Starlight Theater & Cafe
Provincetown, MA New Art Cinema
Revere, MA NA Showcase 20-Revere
Seekonk, MA NA Showcase Route 6
Tyngsboro, MA AMC Tyngsboro 12
Vineyard Haven, MA Capawock
W Newton, MA West Newton Cinema 6
West Springfield, MA NA Showcase 1-10 West Springfield
Worcester, MA NA Showcase 18-Worcester North

[hyphenate]

15. As a matter of fact

If you check my posting in the Mass. forum on the theaters, you'll notice a few more were actually added since my posting, including Fenway and (I think) Harvard Square. So I would say more theaters are eager to show a film that has this much buzz coming into it.

18. Holy cow - they've definitely added in Southern Californian..

Hey chimpsrsmarter! Have you been able to preorder? I and a couple of my friends have tried but haven't had any luck. We're taking off from work early so we can see the very first showing next Friday if possible - any suggestions! Thanks! :-)

[AlCzervik]

20. No, i havent tried yet because the number of people in our group has grown

from 4 to over 20 now and i'm not buying until everyone is confirmed. I'm sure Fangango will have them, i expect to get an email soon from them.

[NightOwwl]

47. re: "here is california---so far, more to come fer sure!"

Oh my God! It's going to play at the Century 14 in Folsom? I searched Fandango and Moviefone and couldn't find any information. Is it going to play on opening day? Can you provide the link please; I just want to see with my own eyes!

Sorry for all the questions but I am so excited!

[AlCzervik]

49. Go here

http://www.f911tix.com/results.php?st=OH

I'll be at Laguna Villiage myself maybe but i like the appeal of the older movie houses downtown. I'm guessing fandango will have the tix avail on the morning of 6/25

[NightOwwl]

53. Thank you so much!

[Zen]

19. I all ready ordered my F-911 tickets in advance :o)

I can't wait to go see it. Me and my GF are giddy with excitement at getting to see this movie. Since the Right-Wing greedy, angry, selfish, murdering, compassionless, simple-minded, ass-kissing, sheep-like whores are rallying against the movie, my excitement level is going up dramatically!!

I'll repost this as I just posted it in another F-911 anti Scarblood thread here.

These guys are not only simple-minded, but they are very suggestable.

I wrote to Mr. Angry (O'Homo) at Fox and told him that his sort of harsh rheteric would lead to civil war and the next night he was talking about civil war.

I later wrote a letter comparing them to nazi's and now they are calling liberals nazi's.

Organize a lot of people and send hundreds of letters telling them that they are purple-colored and the next day they will be rallying against all liberals being purple colored.

The "use irony" approach they have been using for years was very effective - too bad we figured it out a long time ago!!

[Lindsey]

21. Hopefully we'll be able to order this weekend from either

Fandango or through the F911 site.

[Zen]

46. Yeah, we used "Fandango dollars" to go!!

Ain't gonna cost me a dollar!

I can hardly wait - I feel like I am doing a service to our country. I am such a proud patriot!!!

[peekaloo]

22. Michael Moore is on Letterman tomorrow night

His latest newsletter confirms theaters are getting pressured and the ratwingers always win using these tactics. Be sure and thank the theaters showing the film and call those chains who have yet to commit to show your interest.

23. check for listings here:

Some People Still Don't Want You To See My Movie... From Michael Moore

Friends,

We're a week away from the nationwide opening of "Fahrenheit 9/11" and not a day goes by where we don't have some new battle to fight thanks to those who are still working overtime to keep people from seeing this film. What's their problem? Are they worried about something?

A Republican PR firm has formed a fake grassroots front group called "Move America Forward" to harass and intimidate theater owners into not showing "Fahrenheit 9/11." These are the same people who successfully badgered CBS into canceling the Reagan mini-series a few months ago. And they are spending a ton of money this week to threaten movie theaters who even think about showing our movie.

As of this morning, a little over 500 theaters have agreed to show the movie beginning next Friday, June 25. There are three national/regional theater chains who, as of today, have not booked the movie in their theaters. One theater owner in Illinois has reported receiving death threats.


--snip==

Please, contact your local theaters and let them know you want to see "Fahrenheit 9/11." Tell them that some people don't know that this is America and that we believe in freedom of speech and the importance of ALL voices being heard. (The members of MoveOn.org—an ACTUAL grassroots organization—have done a very cool thing. They are pledging to send a message to theater owners and are planning to attend a showing of the film on its opening weekend.)


--------------

Most of us know about MoveAmericaForward but let's keep sending emails and calling the theaters. These people are desperate to keep this movie from being shown.

[freeforall]

26. Are any of these theatres seriously going to want to miss out

...on all those box office receipts?

I think not.

Sometimes it's a good thing when the almighty dollar rules!

[Ouabache]

28. zero in Indianoplace the other day - now there are two - woohoo !!

here:

Indianapolis, IN Kerasotes Showplace 16

Indianapolis, IN LCE College Park Cinema 14


One is just up the street !! Alright.


Shitbag Scarborough is dreaming if he thinks this movie or its' truth is going away.

[ElaineinIN]

51. Indiana theaters

my letter to Kerasotes theaters, which operates in the upper midwest (Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, Illinois, etc.) A "contact us" button can be found on their website

Kudos to you for showing Michael Moore's Farenheit 911. You operate in a relatively conservative area, and I imagine that you have received some pressure not to show this film. Whether you agree with the politics of the film or not, people should have the opportunity to see it. If someone disagrees with it, they don't have to go. And you, as a business owner, should have the right to earn money doing what it is that you do... show films. My family attends your two Bloomington locations regularly, and will continue to do so.

Thank you again.

[0rganism]

29. Dang! only five in Oregon so far

Ashland, OR Varsity Theatre

Hillsboro, OR Regal Tualatin Valley Highway 16

Portland, OR Century 16 Eastport

Portland, OR Regal Fox Tower 10

Portland, OR Regal Lloyd Mall 8


THIS MEANS NO ONE IN RURAL OR COASTAL OREGON HAS AN OPENING THEATRE!

Time to make a few phone calls...

[LizW]

30. Finally! Showing at one near me!

Yay! :bounce:

[genius]

33. It's being pulled from virtually all theaters in OC, CA

[progressivebydesign]

38. Link? WHere did you hear that??

Orange COunty is no longer the bastion of republican turpitude. There are all kinds of people there... I can't believe it.

[genius]

55. I went to Regal last night and was told by the theater manager

[ParanoidPat]

43. Methinks you're full of shit!

Please see post #16! :evilgrin:

[progressivebydesign]

39. Oh shit! It disappeared from Lakewood, Washington!!

Hmmm... Bush is going to speak there tomorrow at Fort Lewis, which borders Lakewood, Washington and Tacoma. I just saw that the Lakewood theatre is now GONE from the listing. It was there a few days ago. I KNEW that it would be scuttled because it's a damn narrow-minded, republican, military town. This is fucking bullshit!

[seabeyond]

40. i am surprised it is in amarillo texas

and excited. just checked, still there

[Bridget Burke]

42. It was scheduled for 4 theaters in Houston. Now scheduled for 6!

Plus a couple of communities in the Greater Houston area, including Tom DeLay's SugarLand.

[KarmaHappens]

52. I live in West Columbia area

Sugarland would be close for me. Is one of the listings the theater by First Colony Mall?

[absolutezero]

48. nope

more theatre are picking it up actually

[Cocoa]

54. he also said Moore is Canadian

which he's not

[Roaming]

56. I heard on the radio this morning it's down to about 400 some theaters

but I have not had time to confirm that.
