"This is the biggest opening day ever" - Charleston, SC

[Skip Intro]

This is from our local paper, and the article is titled, "Documentary draws Bush bashers." (Why is it that criticism of bush and the blatant, tragic truths that surround him is "bashin," but when the kooks on the right attack Kerry, they are "critcizing?")

The film drew large and enthusiastic crowds, although they perhaps were already believers in the cause. Many said they think the film makes a powerful case against Bush.

"This is the biggest opening day ever," said Jim Marzluff, an employee at the Terrace Theatre on James Island, which typically shows films that cater to an art-house crowd.

Some cheered when they found out that showings had sold out, pointing to that as evidence of anti-Bush sentiment in the Lowcountry.

There certainly appeared to be a local market for a movie that, whatever else it might do, is not likely to decrease the polarization of the American electorate.

The movie is only playing at a somwhat obscure theater in Charleston, tho there is no lack of large multiplexes here. Just up the road, and part of the Charleston metro area, imho, F911 IS playing at a large multiplex in Summerville. That's where I'm planning to see it tomorrow.

ps - is there anyone in the Chas. area that would like to go with tomorrow?
