Al Gore vs. Lindsey Lohan - there is hope for humanity yet!!!

[LynneSin]

Al Gore's movie "An Inconvienent Truth" came in 9th at the box offices which is pretty major knowing that only 77 movie theaters carried the movie. To give you an idea of how big that is - 10th place was Lindsey Lohan's "Just my Luck" which earned $500k less than Gore's movie even though it was playing in 958 theaters.

1. Does this somebody will hold her down and make her eat something?

Preferrably a sandwhich.

2. 2 blocks from my work -

There's one theater showing it, but it's on 3 of their 6 screens. Any surprise I work in a University?

4. I was wondering if this was a world wide wrestling event.

I guess not.

I've noticed this bit too. It's great.

Maybe the movie companies will seek wider distribution.

Well they should. We need to get the President-elected's ideas out there. Our country needs to appreciate what it lost.

5. I heard it will have a wider release in a few weeks

I'm sure it will do pretty well. The per screen gross is impressive so far.

6. It would be a thrill if it proves to be a huge money maker.

Nothing would be sweeter.

Mr. Gore has suffered many injustices in his career. Such a showing would go a long way toward paying him back for what he has done so unselfishly.

Of course, climate change is his signal issue, but I will never forget that he was with us in the dark days leading up to this horrible war.

I was shattered when he didn't run in 2004, although if I were him, I would have long ago told the country to go fuck itself.

He's a better man than I am. He's a better man than most people.

8. I'm going to see it tomorrow. Just goes to show you....

people want to be asked to pitch in, to help out, to be a part of this country that, unfrotunately, is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Ameriglobal, Inc.
