From The Scripps Howard News Service: "Fahrenheit 9/11" is making mega-bucks in American theaters and with some help from terrorists who also are Michael Moore fans it could prove a blockbuster in the Middle East, too. The film-industry publication Screendaily.com reports that the movie will soon debut in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and Bahrain. "In terms of marketing," Screendaily.com announces, Moore "is getting a boost from organizations related to Hezbollah." Yes, that Hezbollah: the Syrian and Iranian-backed terrorist group that pioneered suicide bombings against Americans more than 20 years ago in Beirut, the terrorist group second only to al Qaeda in number of Americans murdered, the terrorist group that now operates against the United States in Iraq, the terrorist group that Richard Armitage, deputy secretary of state, dubbed the "A-Team of terrorists" more skilled and cunning than almost any other. "We can't go against these organizations," explains Gianluca Chacra, the managing director of Front Row Entertainment, the UAE-based firm releasing Moore's flick in the Middle East. Chacra added: "Having the support of such an entity in Lebanon is quite significant for that market and not at all controversial. I think it's quite natural." **I don't know how many Michael Moore fans are out there, but I won't be going to see his movie. You can make your own decisions.** http://www.shns.com/shns/g_index2.cfm?action=detail&pk=MAY-07-07-04 |
