I hope to meet him one day so I can ask him if he thinks his huckster ways and his flim-flam-man circus act has ingratiated him to the people of his community, or like most of the rest of us, they laugh at him, spraying spittle on his immature moronic geek face.

The encitement of American audiences to actively rise up against the war doesn't seem to be going as planned for them, but we haven't seen the results of the international release of the film. Once the film starts getting played in the Middle East and Europe, brace for the riots and anti-American violence. Expect al Jazeera to add it to its broadcast offerings.

It's only opened in Spain where it grossed $140k, but it isn't set to open anywhere else until January (Russia-CIS). Then it opens in two places in February and two in March but by then it will be too old and will be crowded out of the theaters by more profitable ones. On a related note, Rendition has pretty much run it's course worldwide -- $9.7M dom, $6.7M foreign. LOL. [Laura on December 10, 2007 at 10:17 AM]
