...online, spurring his distributor to bump up the film's release to this weekend, opening on one screen in Manhattan and scheduling sneak previews in 27 markets. Moore was ready for the piracy questions. "Let's talk about that," he said, sporting his trademark hat, jeans and sport coat. "The film that leaked on the Internet is not taken in a movie theater with a home video camera, the way its usually done. This is an inside job.

"Look at Landsman," he writes, "one shirttail hanging out, snow-dusted porkpie knocked to the left, coat hooked to a thumb over his shoulder. Hanging on to a sky-blue cafeteria ticket as if it's the strap keeping him on his feet." There's hardly a mot here that's not juste.
