"An American Carol" to Be Just as Successful as "Half Hour News Hour"

POSTED BY: Dennis DiClaudio

Ha ha! I'll bet David Zucker is having a nice big laugh at Bill Maher's expense right now.

His brand new movie -- the, by all accounts, brilliant piece conservative cinema merde, An American Carol -- went head to head with Maher's also-just-opening anti-religious-dogma Religulous. And it beat it at the box office by a whole $310,000.

And it was only showing on 3.26 times as many screens!

There's a lesson to be learned here: Conservatives are always funny.

@DaveW: I was around thirteen when I saw Mason on Broadway. He was banned from my house (check out the Mason post). If you ever saw the split-screen scene in Annie Hall, umm... that capsulizes Chez Cube's. Yom Kippur is totally a good deal for us. You don't eat for a day, pray a bit, then eat lox and bagels, and are forgiven. What a deal baby. Insofar as water-boarding, me thinks my Mom's guilt trips are far more arduous. But, she's the best.

Weekend Movie Guide: "An American Carol" and "Religulous"

POSTED BY: Dylan Ris


Between tomorrow and Tuesday, America must endure four consecutive days without a televised executive branch debate. But before you desperately resort to reading or exercise to pass the hours, why not take in a movie at your local cineplex?

The right-wing readership of this blog (assuming he logs in today), might want to patronize "An American Carol," the new pro-war right-wing comedy from one of the guys who brought you The Naked Gun.

"An American Carol" features almost every prominent conservative in Hollywood, including...

* Chris Farley’s thinner, less funny younger brother.

* Gary Coleman as a slave.

* Kelsey Grammar being dickish for a change.

* Dennis Hopper confusing everyone who saw him in "Easy Rider."

* Papa Bear Bill O’Reilly as himself!!

The film's main goal is to denigrate Michael Moore (totally redundant if you've ever seen "Canadian Bacon"), and to advocate war as a fine solution to life’s problems.

Those who are of the Moore persuasion themselves should skip "An American Carol" and instead see "Religulous," a new documentary from Bill Maher and Larry Charles that critically profiles world religious beliefs, from Christianity to Judaism to Mormonism to Scientology.

No word as of press time what "Religulous" has to say about creationist, tongue-speaking, "witchcraft-free" Holy War crusaders who want to "pray away the gay," which is all the more reason you should be watching the VP debate tonight.
