To show my full support for the film, "The Profit", I went to the 7:15 showing only to find the show sold out. I joined the many others who were buying tickets for the 9:45 show and will be returning to the theater shortly for the performance.

I give my solemn word that I will not walk out 15 minutes into he film nor even 16 minutes into he film but will instead watch the entire movie.

The film attracted at least two TV station. The local CBS affiliate was leaving when I arrived, and the Fox affiliate was continuing to gather footage.

A sign on the theater door indicated that only authorized media outlets were allowed to videotape the patrons of the theater. I shall not bring my camera back for the showing although I wanted to have it ready in case of trouble.

Looks like the people of Clearwater are interested in seeing a film that addresses the existence of a science fiction, ufo cult.

And as I predicted, my little jousts with Tigger have not affected one ticket sale in the city.

A table is set up to sell t-shirts and 8x11 size and 11x14 size versions of the movie poster as well.

As for protests, there is a small band of picketers waving signs at the driveway. I spotted a nun, a rabbi, a hare krishna and a few others. Upon reading the signs it appears they are an improv comedy group, promoting their show at the comedy club in the same theater on the weekends.

Looks like a good weekend for "The Profit."
