Poll question: Who is planning to drag all their friends to see "Fahrenheit 911?"
Theater chains are probably wondering how much profit they'll rake in from the movie. This poll may be a good indicator.

1. Unless you live in NY or LA or near one of the film festivals showing it
now through August, according to the "screening schedule" on their website, you are out of luck. :-(

Maybe when the find a distributor, but I don't have hopes most Americans will see it until after the election. :-(

2. Little Hope

I have little hope that I'll be allowed to see it before it is released on video unless I win the lottery and take trip to the coasts.

3. The Weinstein Bros are planning to get it distributed.
If any local theater chain doesn't show it, let's picket them with signs saying "______Theater hates America for it's freedom" or signs calling the theater chains unpatriotic.

5. RW Controlled

There are a few theaters that might be able to get the movie if the price isn't too steep, but I'm not counting on that.

Otherwise, locally, it's either Regal Entertainment or Cinemark, both of which have CEO's who give heavily to Republicans.

6. If Regal doesn't show it, we'll picket them heavily.
We have a lot of protestors available where I live.

4. I wish these polls were open voting

I cannot believe any Democrat has no interest in the movie.

8. It was the buzz of my workplace tonight.
When not talking of the increasingly annoying cicadas, we were dishing about "Fahrenheit 9/11."

'Twas a fun evening of work. :-)

9. I live in the middle of Freeperland
Better known as South Carolina. The prospects of it showing here--if and when it's released-are very small. But I'll be the first person lined up to buy it when it comes out on DVD!
