They need to feel what the rest of America feels. <BR/><BR/>(And, you're welcome, jollyroger, thanks for adding me to yours.)<BR/><BR/>elvez73, Yep, you're stuck all right...until we get a Dem President. (but I'm not holding my breath that they'll fix it either.)<BR/><BR/>Candace, Yes, brilliant, indeed. <BR/><BR/>Tom, I hope all of them are squirming. They should be. <BR/><BR/>Poli, Hearing that your theater was sold out is very encouraging. You are absolutely right - everyone must see this film.Lizzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09221976140171029175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7653541.post-33039223869357476922007-07-08T20:38:00.000-05:002007-07-08T20:38:00.000-05:00I just saw sicko today.Fucking GREAT movie that EV...I just saw sicko today.<BR/><BR/>Fucking GREAT movie that EVERY American must see.<BR/><BR/>I was very surprised. I live in Orange County, CA, a Republican Stronghold.<BR/><BR/>I got my tickets early for convenience via Fandango. I didn't think, since the movie has been out for a while, that there would be a seating issue.<BR/><BR/>But the theater pretty much sold out. There wasn't a seat left by the time the movie started.<BR/><BR/>And when it ended, EVERYONE applauded.<BR/><BR/>Lot's of old people came to the movie, which is not surprising. It's an issue that affects them most.<BR/><BR/>I don't want to spoil the movie for those who have not seen it so I won't give any specifics.<BR/><BR/>But even if you HATE Michael Moore, as many "conservatives" do, you STILL must see this movie.<BR/><BR/>It's a fucking movie, it won't kill you to go see it. But not seeingg it may lead to you being killed by our health care system.PoliShifterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16524480334048786423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7653541.post-22659146926387480852007-07-08T19:40:00.000-05:002007-07-08T19:40:00.000-05:00Thanks for all this info.
