Free Screenings Tonight of "Capitalism" for the Jobless and Homeless in America's Hardest Hit Cities

(This was in my mailbox this morning from my Michael Moore mailing list. I won't be going to any - I don't live close enough, I have to work tonight, and I wouldn't take a freebie because I make enough money not to need it - NOW. That wasn't the case for many years. I'm passing it along in case it benefits any of you, since I know it's perfectly possible to have an Internet connection and still be below the poverty line, or you might know someone in this situation.)

Friends,

We're just one day away from the widest opening I've ever had for any of my movies. Tomorrow, Friday, October 2nd, "Capitalism: A Love Story" opens on over a thousand screens across the United States, a record for an independent documentary.

This follows last weekend's limited opening in New York and L.A. where "Capitalism" set the box office record for the highest per screen average of ANY movie released so far this year. Not just any documentary -- any MOVIE! It was, as the studio said, a good indicator of just how well the movie may do when it goes wide this weekend. I sincerely hope they're right because I believe deeply in this film.

To kick off the national release of "Capitalism: A Love Story," I've asked the studio to offer a number of screenings in the nation's hardest hit cities - the ones with the highest unemployment rates and highest foreclosure rates - where those who've lost their jobs or who are in foreclosure (or have already been evicted) may attend my film free of charge. They've agreed, and so tonight (Thursday), the night before our opening day, ten cities will grant you free admission if you have fallen on hard times. The list of theaters and cities is below. You don't need to bring any "proof" of your situation - just show up - it's the honor system, no questions asked.

( Of course, a free movie ain't much when what you really need is a job or a place to live. )

blondes, you don't deserve those jokes

Not with brunettes Michelle Bachman and Sarah Palin running around out there, you don't.

This would make a great comedy duo if they didn't have the ear of so many gullible people who take everything they say seriously. And if they only had as much power as any other female comedienne.

*sigh*

Sex clinics in schools? Afternoon free-choice abortions for 13-year-olds? Not gonna happen - no matter how much I think it probably should.

YEAH BABY. I love it when a cast comes together ...

Could it be? Another old, dear fandom rearing its head for next summer?

"But V," you're saying. "Where's my back view?"

An intrepid female reporter that the guys gave a lecture about accepting death very early in the show's first season - and who actively helped the team evade capture many times! And - most important - a crazy man who is secretly a genius!

(Actually, most importantly was Dwight Schultz. But he's not one of the new movie's stars. Too old. :-( )
