Another Good Reason to Go See F-9/11 THIS WEEKEND
Once upon a time, there was a political leader who wanted to start a war. The nation's legislature had granted him extraordinary emergency powers to deal with a perceived (and in hindsight overblown) threat of terror, and to counter the possibility of an attack from outside, which even though it had not happened, was the subject of much speculation within the government and the press.
Ah, but there was a problem. There was a movie made by a very popular filmmaker, and this movie showed aspects of war that the leader did not want his people to see, out of fear that they might no longer support his war. And so this leader did everything he could to make certain nobody in his country ever saw the film.

The film was, "Gone With The Wind", and the leader was Adolph Hitler.

<snip>

The first weekend will set the future course for the film. The pro-war groups, aided by public relations companies with millions of dollars to work with, are trying to trick people into not seeing the movie because they know that the length of the movie's entire run will depend on how well it does that first weekend. It is that FIRST weekend, June 25th - 27th, that you need to make an effort to see this film. Take a friend. If Fahrenheit 9/11 does well that first weekend, then the film will have a long run and more Americans will be able to see it, have the FREEDOM to see it, and the FREEDOM to decide for themselves what it all means. (As of this writing, Fahrenheit 9/11 has broken the single-day box office records at the two New York theaters showing the film ahead of the general release.)

1. another good idea
Edited on Sat Jun-26-04 07:39 AM by Ruffhowse
For those that can afford it, and since this is such an important movie, I would suggest trying to find the time to go TWICE to the movie. It would only take another few hours of your time, and a few more dollars, but if everyone did this that wants to support the TRUTH of this movie getting out, we could significantly inflate the first weekend's gross. Like the previous poster said, a good first weekend for the film will help insure that the movie has a long run.

2. If you have the $$$ and not the time or inclination to go twice
just buy 2 tix (only do this if the showing will not be sold out, you don't want to deprive someone of see the movie at their preferred time).
