I drove over 40 miles to see it. (Got in for $6.50 at the matinee.)
Well, Airman and I have achieved a compromise.
He will “let” me see Fahrenheit 9/11 IF I work overtime to pay for it. If I want a Coke, I have to work 2 hours, and if I want popcorn AND the Coke, I have to work 3 hours.
Sounds fair to me. It’d just be nice if it were playing closer than Harrisburg.

Wow. Mrs. Mercotan would rip me a new excretory orifice if I made such a statement to her.
But whatever works for you two. More power to you for working out a compromise.
I take it hubby’s not going? We’ll be traveling about 40 miles one way to see it together later this week.
No, hubby’s not going. And “let” was in quotation marks for the reason that I’m going to see it regardless. The compromise is just in place to keep the peace.
Robin
You’re darn right she would! And I’d help!
That’s contrary to Mercotan ethics, that is…
There’s a list here. I’m sure there is at least one place in your state - I don’ t know where you are but each state adjacent to Georgia has at least one place showing.
Although you might still be right about Atlanta being the closest - I too will have to drive 200 miles to Atlanta to see it. Which I might do next weekend…
Thank you scr4!!! I take back my earlier comments. F 9/11 is being shown in my state and I only have to drive an hour to see it. My googling skills must be poor indeed.
Suuuuuuuuure you would, my little academic subsidy project.
How positively…Republican…of him. 
I think that was the point.
Anyway, I think I can manage to spend July 5th to see the movie.

I had the same experience here in Knoxville. Went to the 2 o’clock showing on Friday. There was a line wrapped around the building to buy tickets. My friend and I barely got in the movie.
All throughout the showing the audience laughed and cheered and clapped. It was a very boisterous and loud audience. An interesting experience.
As we left the theater after the film, there were signs up on the box office proclaiming F9/11 sold-out for the rest of the day.
Sure looks like its going to be a very close election.
I saw it last night. Here in the Twin Cities, it’s showing all over the place – we had 4 choices for a 9-something show within a 15-minute drive range. The place must be some kind of liberal hotbed. 
The 9:15 show at the Woodbury 10 was about 1/3 to 1/2 full. Since that theater is out at the ass-end of nowhere (outskirts of the metro area, hidden behind a Target), it doesn’t get a lot of attendance for anything. I think that’s one of the largest crowds I’ve seen there.
I’m interested in a discussion with Bush supporters as well. I think it will be hard to stay completely civil, on both sides of the debate, since it’s such a polarizing issue, but would be willing to make the attempt. I’d like to know if there are questions raised that need answering in the mind of the Bush voter/supporter who sees F911.
Actually Moore doesn’t think that at all. He belives that we are a basically good people and that America is basically liberal. Now his opinion of the people in charge, CEOs, Government etc. is quite different.
Point well taken. I have seen everything Moore has done (including the Bravo show) and you hit the nail right on the head. He is a tried and true American using his FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH!
I don’t like Bush, the war, or corporations right now. Moore is using his voice to be mine, when no one else will listen to me.
Not an American. Pshaw. He is more of an American than most.
This thread is better suited for Cafe Society. I’ll move it for you.

Assuming you are referring to blood and guts, not just disturbing images of a corrupt moron trying to run the world, I want to let people know it’s not that bad. I faint when I see very graphic images, but I was fine, because the nasty war footage is on screen very briefly.
There were several scenes with some blood and guts. It wasn’t as bad as some films. There was one scene with several uses of a strong obscenity. Again, it wasn’t as bad as some films.
It made $22 million in its opening weekend. Thank god this movie is being seen.
Funny, I saw Moore’s film in a very “Bushy” area of Texas. Even though it was a workday at 1:30pm, the theater was nearly full! It looks to me this film is doing extremely well.
Fans of the movie should look at Michael Moore’s website. I love the photo of the great Grand Lake Theater in Oakland (my hometown) with their marquee saying they will not enforce the R rating. There are also photos and accounts from openings around the country. My second favorite is the photo from my current neighborhood theater (in the East Village) of a sign listing added showings throughout the night. People were actually going to see this movie in the middle of the night! It feels like history is being made.
