According to [Fandango](http://www.fandango.com/movie_page.asp?a=a&mv=85329&distance=15&refreshdate=6/24/2004), it premiers Thursday at 12:01 a.m. (which I suspect means tonight at 1 minute past midnight) at the Lowes in Georgetown at the corner of Wisconsin and K. Anybody up for some midnight madness? It’s not Rocky Horror, but still might be fun. ---

It’s too late for me on a work night, but it sounds like something the DC dopers would get into. I’ll send out some emails and see if anyone bites. ---

Ugh, I don’t think so. I know it’s trendy to watch Michael Moore’s movies, but I just don’t think that he can be trusted after the “Documentary” Bowling for Columbine. People are going to take his tripe for truth at face value and that scares me. ---

It’s my first time in Washington, but I’m going to have to decline. My plane for Moscow leaves at 7 and I don’t think they’ll want to hold it for me ---

Well, it’s supposed to be opening nationally on FRIDAY, so I would be inclined to think that the showing you’re talking about would actually be on Thursday night/Friday too-early-to-be-called-morning. Probably best to give the theater a call, I think. ---

Well crap. You are right. Even though Fandango says the movie will show at 12:01 a.m. on Thursday (which is one minute after midnight tonight), the theater confirmed that the movie starts at 12:01 on Friday. So in the immortal words of Emily Litella, nevermind. ---
