Yes, those tickets have to be claimed through the website. That's also how they fund "The Chosen."

So a Desantis appointed state official claimed that someone speaking out against Desantis was a liar? Gotcha


Should have kept reading the article. You keep making yourself look like a bigger moron with every reply. I'm betting you weren't expecting someone to actually know of the people referenced in your article.

Here you go. Here's a more recent article about Rebekah Jones imagining that Ron DeSantis talked about her in an interview (didn't happen). She is a pathological liar. You should believe the opposite of anything she says.

This is who BowlJackson wants you to believe.

A pathological liar, with video evidence to back up this claim. And she's not even close to the only one.

Why does it make you so angry that this movie isn't half as popular as Tucker Carlson tells you it is?

They are doing some weird pay it forward thing with this movie. People are buying tickets but nobody is going. Really strange. The far right is obsessed with box office numbers. I thought it was only the ones here but apparently they all are.

I’ve not heard one good thing about Mission Impossible.

From what I’ve read its half a movie, and lacks the excitement and punch of the others in that series.

Sound of Freedom, on the other hand, is the most talked-about film this summer, and the only negative stuff I’ve heard about it came from the Hollywood cultural elitists that it shines the light on.

No, I don't have to do that at all. There is no one buying out theaters for this movie.
I don’t know about full movie theaters, but they do have a “pay it forward” crowdfunding drive, and it is up to something like “5 million tickets.” And last weekend I saw weekday matinee showings where the front few rows are completely booked.

And I think it’s kinda ingenious. Buy a bunch of tickets in seats (the front, matinee showings) where you’re not taking any seats or dollar from paying customers, and maybe some who wouldn’t pay show up, and if not, you just increased the box office and buzz around it. And you get some % back in sales on top of that.

I’m actually surprised it hasn’t been done before by those with our a huge marketing budget, or where the returns aren’t very good. But buy 5 million tickets, and all of a sudden you generate a ton of buzz, and probably get more real viewers to see it. Theaters are probably happy too.

I bought two tickets the other day just to help the film’s box office. But I didn’t go because the subject matter is too disheartening for me to watch. I think more movies like this should be made and I love that this film has gotten the major studios so riled up.

It’s basically this year’s word of mouth indie that has legs like Everything Everywhere All at Once, but you can make a decent bet that it won’t get a single Oscar nomination. It deserves several.

So you’re saying it deserves several Oscar nominations, yet you haven’t actually seen the movie?

You'll believe that story. Wonder if you'll believe the story about theaters saying AC isn't working.

You all eat up this stupid shite.

All I know is my experience..

Went to see the movies at Friday and every movie theater in my area was booked up for multiple showtimes.

Finally found a theater that had a couple seats together. The theater was completely full when we went.

I don’t know what Bowl believes, but the movie does exaggerate the lead character’s contributions to the event in question. That alone isn’t a big deal except it downplays a lot of good done by other people for the sake of having a singular hero.

Though he might be referring to The Adrenochrome Conspiracy Theory, which isn’t specifically being pushed by the movie but is something that the star has been known to repeat.
