Australian Distributors of Moore Film Say They've Been Threatened

http://www.imdb.com/news/sb/#film5


The Australian film distribution company that secured rights to release Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 has received threatening emails, mainly from the U.S., in the wake of the deal, the Melbourne newspaper The Age reported today (Thursday). A spokeswoman for Hopscotch Films told the newspaper that the emails warned that if the company went ahead with its planned release of the movie, it would do so "at our own peril." Hopscotch has asked Internet providers to try to track down the threatening writers. Meanwhile, the director of the Melbourne International Film Festival announced today that the movie will be given its Australian premiere at the festival on July 22. He expressed hope that Fahrenheit will be able to "sustain the inevitable scrutiny" of its content between now and then.

Winning through intimidation.

Hope the Aussies teach him a lesson.

Theatre of the Absurd

Karl Rove is a one-trick pony
The little man he protects: a phoney
Deceive and distract,
is this show's only act
He'll look good in prison orange, won't he?

I love it. But he is a 2 trick pony. If trick #1 fails, resort to intimidation. Typical fall back of phonies, bullies, and thugs (or, as in this case, all of the above.)

we in fact harbor terrorists. They're republicans.

They kill people, they have WMD's.

Mental illness!

:thumbsup:

I really feel like screaming at the Freepers telling me I can't watch a movie because they don't approve of it.

Gawd these people are pathetic.

I'm sure they use Freeperville as a homebase.

Spreading fear (terror) for political purposes? So conservatives are terrorists? Hoodathunkit?

that show the film.

if it sells a lot of tickets, they'll freak. then there's no telling what they'll do. frankly, i hope the theater managers are on the lookout for possible freeping.

......then not show up to prove that no one wants to see the movie! :crazy: :evilgrin:

(I expect a verrrrry loooong ruuuuun! :) )

some nutjob threatened to kill me when the passion was sold out and i wouldn't sell him a ticket. He got arrested. I'll do the same for any moron who tries to tell me I can't run F911

Hell, don't be surprised to see them even plant and explode a bomb. They consider theirselves warriors in the Culture War.

under this regime?

these people need to be seriously embarrassed.

They need their fucking mug shots on the front page of papers.

Idiots.

:)

Who else would do that? Web traffic will drop like a stone on Free Republic in a couple of weeks, when all the nutjobs get kicked off their ISPs, then rise again when they find new ones a few days later.

And put another RimJob on the barbie....stupid morans.

unless the sender uses extreme caution to cover his/her tracks?

...to use sufficient monetary and legal resources, the sender of even an "anonymous" email will be revealed.

Others may be tapped --they are high-value targets for obvious reasons; the gov't is very interested in e-mails which the senders would like to be untracable.

So if the VRWC terrorists used an anonymizer for their threatening e-mails, there's an excellent chance the U.S. Gov't could track them down. IF they wanted to.

And a word-to-the-wise; don't even think an anonymizer might provide any protection whatsoever for interesting e-mails to -- say -- John Ashcroft or Gee Dubya...

every day and we can't see one tiny little film ?!

Moore is extremely popular here in OZ..his books sell well..films are long running and this pisses the conservatives off no end..bring it on ..

I swear that lady has mental problems.

for making their patriotic, America-loving threats. They'll
whine that they were just defending their country against
appeasers.

Tell it to the judge, morans.

Silly freepers.
