#1 The Clue Bird of Sanity briefly shat on somebody's head over at Disney.

#2 I can't figure out how Mel Gibson could be involved in this. The Hollywood left he ain't.

As Ptah stated, we can now expect the inevitable lamentations of McCarthyism from Moore and the liberals that parrot each other. However, paraphrasing Sen. Alan Simpson, impugning one of using McCarthy-like tactics is itself McCarthyism.

#3 I guess it would be too much to expect for Moore to put his own millions where his mouth is. C'mon, Michael! Sell your house and make your documentary the good, old-fashioned way.

#4 Maybe if he just gave up lunch, he could finance it himself!
Hey Michael, you puttin on some weight or did you just swallow a phonebooth?

#6 FINALLY! Somebody has figured out that Mickey Moore's product aint worth a damn. Show of hands here: How many of you actually saw Bowling for Columbine? Aside from the fruit-looped left, I can't find anyone who would pay money to see it. Why doesn't Susan Saddam, Rim Robbins, and Mickey Moore pool their own money and get this project off the ground? That way it would be FREE of all the corporate strings that they so hate. I am sure that they could recoup their money when they export it to France where they thrive on this type of 'Entertainment'?

#7 In other Hollywood news, Mickey Moore is looking for backers for production of yet another documentary, this one entitled Centrigrade 911 - Feel the Heat.

#9 Mel Gibson may not be a rabid Lefty, but he is NOT on the right, either, witness his blatant anti-NRA stance, even after saying he would defend his children with a firearm. Duplicitous sounds more correct.

#10 Bowling for Columbine grossed $21 million in the US. Peanuts. Especially for a movie that's been in theatres for 32 weeks. Last week, 76 theatres were stupid enough to run it...they made a total of 800 bucks each.

Columbine was seen by a very small group of people, mostly college kids.

Another "art" film (which is what Hollywood calls oddball movies including foreign films, documentaries, etc), The Pianist, made 32 million.
