26 June 2004

My own slight reservations aside, the fact that Fahrenheit 9/11 is blowing past even the most optimistic expectations at the box office counts as some of the happiest news I've heard in a long time. (It seems likely to surpass Bowling for Columbine to become the highest-grossing documentary of all time in a single weekend.)

Still, I do hope that Move America Forward, which has been crowing over Moore's alleged difficulty in finding distributors, manages to come up with some kind of ingenious negative spin on the movie's runaway success. Some of the most creative writing in the world today can be found on America's conservative weblogs.
