PromoTheRobot Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 In the battle of the Micheal Moore-hating right versus the God-hating left, it looks like An American Carol beats out Religulous by $250,000 in box office this weekend: $3.65M (9th) vs $3.4M (10th) Of course #1 in movies this weekend was Beverly Hills Chihuahua ($29.3M) so I guess that means people prefer tiny talking dogs to politics. PTR
KD in CA Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 I bet the people who saw the Chihuahua movie are more intelligent on balance than are the idiots who swallowed either of those "tell me what I want to hear" propaganda turd piles.

PTR Care to guess how many theaters An American Carol was shown on compared to Religulous?
meazza Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Care to guess how many theaters An American Carol was shown on compared to Religulous? What's religulous about? An annoying wannabe comedian/wannabe politician going around making fun of the religious right? Did I really need a movie about that? Can't Rambo 5 come out? Much more interesting.
drnykterstein Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 What's religulous about? An annoying wannabe comedian/wannabe politician going around making fun of the religious right? Did I really need a movie about that? Can't Rambo 5 come out? Much more interesting. I havent seen it, but I'm under the impression he rips on scientology and muslims as much as moormans, and evangelicals. So I don't get how the "religious right" can say being muslim is bad, and then stand by it when being mocked.. but .. ok sure whatever. Not that both don't deserve the mocking. There is a lot to make fun of.
PromoTheRobot Posted October 13, 2008 Author Posted October 13, 2008 Care to guess how many theaters An American Carol was shown on compared to Religulous? Oops, I should have included that info! An American Carol: 1639 Religious: 502 That means An American Carol only did $2,227 per screen. Religulous did $6,773. By that measure the God-haters win by a mile. (FYI: Chihuahua did $9,114 per screen, making Religulous somewhat more impressive.) PTR

And this is important why? Why the !@#$ is this important?
meazza Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Movies? Who can afford them? Probably those wall street fat cats who got golden show-- I mean golden parachutes.
olivier in france Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 BTW Religulous should easily recover in its game vs American Carol on the international market.
ieatcrayonz Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 And this is important why? Again. And this is important why? Why the !@#$ is this important? Because if they made a movie called "A Canadian Carol" it would be about some drunk broad named Carol with no teeth trying to illegally cross the border for dental care by making a boat out of cardboard. It would show on 0 screens and average $0 per screen.
olivier in france Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 trying to illegally cross the border for dental care With the current state of the health care system in the US he'd try to cross the border TO Canada, right?
elegantelliotoffen Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 With the current state of the health care system in the US he'd try to cross the border TO Canada, right? Or Cuba!
/dev/null Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 With the current state of the health care system in the US he'd try to cross the border TO Canada, right? that's funny because when Canada can't cure their patients they send them to see a specialist in the US
ieatcrayonz Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 With the current state of the health care system in the US he'd try to cross the border TO Canada, right? Dude. Canadians may have free health care but but it is not exactly "high tech". Think of a serf plowing a field in 1288. He gets kicked by a horse and gets his leg busted. His friend drags him into the woods and smashes his head with a rock so he can die with dignity. That is a basic summary of the Canadian system. Poor stupid people who know no better. As for dental care, they don't do anything because it is too complicated for them. Plus, toothpaste and alcohol combine for a horrible taste. The drunks won't give up the sauce even in the morning.
olivier in france Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 that's funny because when Canada can't cure their patients they send them to see a specialist in the US Does that still happen ? From what i hear from my canadian friends they have made some impressive improvements in their public health system (thanks oil prices!!!) those last few years...
Chef Jim Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 People spend money on that crap? No wonder we're going broke. I kicked my wife's ass in Monopoly and read a few books this weekend. Those both cost me nothing and I enjoyed every second of it....the Monopoly game most of all.
