Folks on line at F9/11 pelted with tomatoes (Denver)

[librechik]

It happened just before we arrived, but tomatoes were all over the street, and amused filmgoers were shaking their heads over the attack. They said a bunch of "Young Republicans" drove by and threw the tomatoes out of the car at them.

Should have brought the pretzels, I guess! Let's do lunch!

Witnesses say "What lame-os" (I don't think they managed to hit anybody.)

Except for those a-holes, as we stood outside the theater, car after car passed us honking support and hands waving the peace sign at us. It was a heartwarming and rousing community event. We bonded.

Inside, great crowd reactions. Somebody in the first row set the tone by saying "Fuck You!" the first time Bush showed his face, during the intro. Applause and cheers at that. Encouraged similar treatment for all the bastards for awhile, until the film turned heavy. Then weeping and laughter interspersed with gasps and head shakings. Long applause for the soldier who was with Michael in DC, when he said he'd rather go to jail than go back.

We were very cheered up and surprised by the civil but boisterous response to Michael's opus. Everybody loved it. The show didn't start until 1 am, but the theater was pretty packed anyway. Denver can be a great place sometimes.
