Just in case anti-Bush documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" needed any
more controversy to fuel its hot box office, a new war of words
broke out on Friday over whether the U.S. Army is stonewalling
efforts to book the film at military bases. But the organization
that orders films for the 160 base theaters countered that it was
the distributors -- Fellowship Adventure Group, IFC Films and
Lions Gate Films -- that had the problem and noted they plan to
stock base stores with the film's DVDs when they are released.
The movie, made by Oscar-winning director Michael Moore, has
grossed over $113 million at domestic box offices and such a
blockbuster would be routinely, and quickly, ordered up by the
military.[more ]
