                  only because all Europeans hate America, Freedom, and Apple Pie.

                              Fahrenheit 9/11 probably won't surpass that by much.

                                      Better that Leno/Afleck flick ( cost: 140 million ; gross : 15 million).

                                      This one will gross over 100 mil... without the merchandising.

                                      I know that Asspimple is stoopid ... As he says, it is a FACT !

                                      But I can't figure out how he can breathe or type , at the same time ....

It's really nothing to do with Europeans at all, it happens to be there, and that is the only connection I believe there is. If I'm wrong, I'd like to know.

I had to wait nearly a year for Bowling For Columbine to come to a central London cinema. I am sure most parts of the country never got it at all. Now it will open in most cities.

                                                                                                                                              if a "documentary" can cause such a reaction... then i think given his past, his political views, his political bias and content of previous movies might lead a reasonably intelligent person to deduce that the purpose of the film was not to "document" anything but rather to send a politically charged message.

                                                                                                                                              celebrating films should not be about celebrating political views and political opinions.

                                                                                                                                                  if a "documentary" can cause such a reaction... then i think given his past, his political views, his political bias and content of previous movies might lead a reasonably intelligent person to deduce that the purpose of the film was not to "document" anything but rather to send a politically charged message.

                                                                                                                                                  celebrating films should not be about celebrating political views and political opinions.

Second time in history a documentary has won since Jaque Cousteau's documentary long ago.

                                                                                                                                                      Guess Disney is gonna eat crow cause now this film is gonna make a billion at the box office.
