More on Moore, Part 5
Earlier this week, filmmaker Michael Moore posted an interesting rant on his Web site about the backlash he has faced since reportedly being booed from the Oscar stage [My Oscar "Backlash"]
Since the Oscars, "Bowling for Columbine" attendance is up around the country; the number of theaters showing the film has increased; box office grosses are up 73 percent; the film now holds the box office record in the documentary category; there are more pre-orders for the film at amazon.com than "Chicago;" "Stupid White Men" is back at #1 on NYT bestsellers list [eighth week at #1]; almost an entire year on the list [50 weeks]; millions of Web site hits a day; offered a shot back on TV with an updated "TV Nation"/"The Awful Truth."
So much for backlash.
