It played in Deer Park and Pasadena Texas - deeply Bush territory. It has played longer and is still playing in urban intellectual areas. I should go cite please but skip it. I don't even know what your posting is about except you want to toss in some French bashing which I am continuing to find amusing in a perplexing way. I suppose the fifteen million people who paid money to see it here must wear berets. I had a list of links from Alabama newspapers all reporting about lines to see the movie in their communities I had in reference to the post but this thread is old and i'll skip it. I am more interested in OutFoxed now which did have showings at two Houston universities but I was busy both nights.
