- For all that it is worth, i need to bring a small matter to
your attention.
-
- In speaking with a close friend here in the SF Bay Area about
his experience of seeing the film this Saturday, June 26, I became
very disturbed. It seems that for some that do not want others to
see the film, all one has to do is pull the fire alarm. Not just
once, but three times today so far. My friend spoke with a
manager, he stated that "yes this has happened three times today",
he then added that he did not have enough security to cover all
alarms in the movie house. This is to be expected. Movie Houses
are not about looking at every exit & fire alarm in the
building, but just the fact that we now have a new form of
disruption in the flow of information to a general paying audience
is enough to make any one's blood boil! Not to forget that to cry
wolf to any fire department in any situation has to be a crime in
itself. The public is in a direct disservice from Bush Supporters
that take it upon themselves to find this creative act of
"Censorship" as a means to shut out the right to express a point
of view.
-
- The theater in question is located in Santa Rosa, CA.
- Airport Stadium 12
- 409 Aviation Way, Santa Rosa
- (707)522-0330
-
- You do not have to take my word for it, give them a call
directly to see if they have any resolve to the situation.
- I admit a time when I thought is was great to be from the
US.
- But now I feel shame, sadness, extreme frustration and a
feeling of weakness over what THOSE PEOPLE do in our name.
- Sometimes I now wish I was never from this place.
- And that is right, I am no longer proud to be an
American.

Greetings friends --
-
- 1. FAHRENHEIT 9/11. As you are all undoubtedly aware, Michael
Moore's new
- film opened on Friday, and from all reports is just as damning
an indictment
- of the Bush administration as pre-release publicity had
indicated. It's
- also -- typical Moore -- quite funny. Some of you have
already trekked over
- to Santa Rosa or Ukiah to see it, others plan to do so, but
for those who
- have no other reasons to visit the metropolii it's a long way
to go and a
- uses up a lot of gas, and as of now no showings are planned in
Lake County.
- It has been suggested that we could call the two local
theaters (994-7469
- and 263-5011) or email their managers ross@lakeportcinema.com
and
- scott@paradisecinema.com
but it turns out that no scheduling decisions are
- made locally so that would probably be a waste of effort. It
would be more
- effective to try to influence the person who decides what
movies will appear
- in both these venues, and that's Beth Feintech, Cinema West,
PO Box 750595,
- Petaluma, CA 94975. If you'd rather telephone than send a
postcard, her
- number is 762-0990, ext. 19. Thanks to Barbara for tracking
all this
- information down.
-
- On Monday June 28 MoveOn and WinWithoutWar are sponsoring
houseparties
- throughout the United States where guests can participate in
an online town
- meeting with Michael Moore and discuss Fahrenheit 9/11
(whether or not
- they've seen it yet). One such gathering will be held in
Clearlake at 7PM:
- for more information send an email to Becky (who's the
hostess) at
- beckyspi@mac.com.
-
- Incidentally, those who have seen the movie can submit a
review on Yahoo: go
- to http://movies.yahoo.com/, click on "Fahrenheit 9/11" and
scroll down to
- "CriticalConsensus" to read professional critical opinion (B+
overall). To
- post your OWN review, go to "User Reviews". As of now, Yahoo
users give the
- movie a B- overall, but most actual grades are either A or F
which is a
- pretty good indication of the polarization of the country at
large. Thanks to Kathy for clueing me in on this.
