Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore’s rants directed at “American Sniper” are actually boosting box office sales of the film, according to legendary actor James Woods.

“American Sniper” is a Clint Eastwood-directed film adaptation of the book of the same name. It depicts the life of Navy SEAL Chris Kyle. Although Moore didn’t actually mention the name of the film in his critiques, he left little doubt what he was referring to.

But all Moore did was to help the film’s publicists, according to Woods, who tweeted Tuesday:

Michael Moore is doing for AMERICAN SNIPER what Obama did for gun sales…

— James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) January 20, 2015

And Woods’ followers seemed to agree:

@RealJamesWoods Everyone at work was really buzzing about it. We got a Hit on our hands — Zakn (@zakn) January 20, 2015

@EastDallasAlice @RealJamesWoods Nope, he’s that disgusting for free. — Mitch (@mitch_won) January 20, 2015

.@RealJamesWoods Moore talks tough for an overrated filmmaker who hides behind his empty Twinkie box fort.

Woods also shot this tweet out to his followers:

Michael Moore’s criticism of a Clint Eastwood film about sacrifice and valor is a marketing department’s wet dream.

— James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) January 20, 2015

Here are some of the replies:

@RealJamesWoods in 1 weekend American Sniper made 1/2 of what all 7 Michael Moore films have made COMBINED! Americans love Chris Kyle > MM! — Rob Pochek (@pastorrob7) January 20, 2015

@RealJamesWoods Just looking at Moores’ box office is laughable, but I personally think he suffers from testicle envy.

Ouch! That one had to have hurt. But by far the best response came from Canadian business consultant and author Norman Leach, who tweeted:

@RealJamesWoods I ask again, for about the 10th time today, Michael Moore is still alive? — Norman Leach (@nsleach) January 20, 2015

On that note, Moore’s last film was “Capitalism: A Love Story,” released way back in 2009. It grossed $37,832 on its opening, according to Box Office Mojo.

“American Sniper,” by comparison, racked up $30.5 million in box office receipts on its opening day.

Moore better get cracking before his Twinkie stash runs dry.
