DiCaprioâs hot for âFahrenheitâ
Leonardo DiCaprio believes in Michael Mooreâs "Fahrenheit 911" so much, the reclusive actor emerged last week for the L.A. premiere - then flew to New York to attend Mondayâs screening "I think a lot more people who are on the fence about who to vote for, after they see this film, itâs going to galvanize them. Young people didnât vote in the last election - that was the problem, and itâs going to be the main issue in the next. If youâre a young person youâve got to get as many people registered to vote, and then get them to vote for their candidate." In DiCaprioâs case, "thatâs John Kerry," he told us. Spike Lee thinks the Motion Picture Association of America wants to block young people from seeing the film by giving it an R rating. Lions Gate and IFC will release the film, in more theaters than ever for a documentary, on June 25. "Giving it that rating was slick," Spike told us. "But teens should still go to see this movie. John Turturro brought his son tonight. The ratings people were hung up on the violence. Teens see more violence in videos than in this movie.
With the finances a little tight these days, I am so grateful to the hollywood elite for helping me to decide whoâs movies never to support again. Of course, at this rate, Iâll be forced to watch "Die Hard" re-runs for the rest of my life.
