Stars Praise "Fahrenheit 9/11"
Hollywood turned out in force to support Michael Moore at a special screening of his controversial new documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 on Tuesday. Actors Martin Sheen, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen DeGeneres, David Duchovny, Sharon Stone, Meg Ryan, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Jodie Foster, Drew Barrymore, Chris Rock, Jack Black, Matthew Perry, Diane Lane, Marisa Tomei and Viggo Mortensen all attended the showing at the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences Theater in Los Angeles.

Moore's film criticizes American president George W Bush's behavior following the September 11th terror attacks in Washington D.C. and New York and exposes links between Bush's family and Al-qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden's relatives.

At the screening of the Palme D'Or winning movie, Barrymore enthused, "I never come to premieres, but I'm so here on this one. I'm looking forward to this more than anything in the world." After a seeing a clip from the film featuring Britney Spears pledging her trust for Dubya, Titanic heart-throb DiCaprio burst into laughter. Eyes Wide Shut star Leelee Sobieski admits she cried during the documentary and said it "should be required for everyone in America to see as part of their education in high schools".

1. glad to see heavy-hitter Drew Barrymore quoted
isn't everybody else?

before you jump, I'm glad to see any kind of positive pub for this, but can't you see the way the freeps are going to jump all over this?

who cares, though?

watching a Dylan bio on AandE:

"It's all over now, Baby Bush"

the times, they are a changin'......etc

2. Ya know,
Edited on Sun Jun-13-04 05:03 PM by Eloriel
the freeps are going to jump all over whatever they can. Their interest is in controlling our speech and actions, preventing the Truth and criticism. If they jump all over anything, it's a GOOD sign. It means we're on the right track. If there's no opposition and resistance from the opposition, it's because there's no threat to them.

First they ignore you
Then they laugh at you
Then they fight you
Then you win.

7. But she sure beats GOP heavy-hitter Bo Derek!
At least Drew Barrymore still works in movies that make money...

3. the best publicity will be getting all local blow dried "reporters"
off their arses and conducting interviews with the general public as they exit their hometown theaters.

Feel the heat!

8. Get a bunch of your liberal friends together and call
up the theater manager one by one wherever you think they may show it and demand that they screen it. Sometimes it works.
