An American Carol, the movie that attempts to satirize liberals by portraying Michael Moore as an American hating Scrooge did so poorly at the box office this last weekend ($3.8 million gross) losing badly to a mediocre comedy about a Beverly Hills Chihuahua of all things, that its producers are claiming a left wing, Hollywood liberal conspiracy to prevent an accurate count of ticket sales. No really, they are:
We have had heard from numerous people across the country that there has been some ticket fraud when buying a ticket for An American Carol this past weekend.

Please email us a picture of your ticket stub to fraud@americancarol.com

I don’t know. Maybe people just like Michael Moore playing himself on screen more than they do Kelsey Grammer playing a bastardized version of the Ghost of General Patton. Or maybe the market for conservative crap is heading in the same general direction as the rest of the economy – down, Down, DOWN. In any event, the “Free Market” has spoken. Michael Moore movies break box office records. Conservative “comedies” attacking Michael Moore do not. Why won’t they just accept their butt kicking like a chihuahua?
There were literally 3 people in the whole theatre, including me. This was not some out of the way small town podunk theatre either. This was the Mann’s Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles.
Three people.
And I can tell you why it’s not going to make much money. The movie fucking sucks. Even I could write a better right wing comedy than that piece of shit. I mean come on, a scene where Bill O’Reilly appears in a port-a-potty just so he can slap Michael Moore? Rosie O’Donnell making a documentary where Christians do a 9/11 attack and nuns commit suicide bombings? Where are the right wing folks in the movie are reasonable and kind while all the lefties are angry and vicious?
A terrible fucking movie.
When you premise is fundamentally flawed and ideologically driven, no amount of high production values will save you.
also the pope opposed the war, so what does the Catholic church have to do with neoconism? It’s the dispensationalist that are dangerous. It is the neocon secularists like Hitchens/Harris who are attacking the RC Church. Who was this movie made for precisely?

That well-known nefarious liberal practice of ticket fraud.
As Mark Crispen Miller notes in Fooled Again, wingnuts are very prone to projection.
This just killed me. Ticket fraud….BWHAHAHAHA
Jeebus they’re a bunch of whiny SOBs aren’t they?
Zucker is kinda dumb – he should have realized that the market for this kind of “comedy” closed about 3 years ago.
A) The movie is just not funny — terrible advanced reviews
Plus
B) With the economy taking a huge crap on the nation’s lawn, the public isn’t exacly in the mood to poke fun at the people who opposed the shit that got us into this mess.
Equals
C) Flop
Surprise!!!
am I the only one who thinks his not political movies are unfunny too?
If anything they have made a joke of themselves.
The really think everyone who opposes the Iraq war is a nutsy pacifist who would have objected to wwII.
