he's full of crap with respect to what would really happen to him if he walked into someone's house in Toronto.
I disagree that everything bad that has happened as represented (at least in the previews) in this film could come to pass in just 10 months. The preceding administration must bear some of the responsibility.
wow, i didn't realize so many people hated michael moore ???
I'm definatley going to pass on seeing this movie. I would wheather see a good ficitionalized story about killer tomatoes then this ficitionalized crap which he calls a documentry.
I may see F9/11, it'll be the first Moore movie I see, if I do go.
I said it was to some extent. Jesus, calm down guys.
Anything that is op/ed is bunk to some extent because opinions may skew the facts.
The rest of it is that the "establishment" is afraid of him. They want to keep him on the fringe in an effort to keep him from showing the American public how much they're getting screwed over.
I didn't say there was anything wrong with it. I just said that it seems
very propagandaish being that an election is so close and that Micheal Moore is pretty much in the democratic camp. Nothing wrong with that, I just think that maybe the facts could be skewed and probably are.
Some of the points that are brought up in the movie are true, I'll admitt, Bush isn't that great. However, the film shows him in a much darker shade. And not only Bush, but he's the main selling point of this movie, isn't he?
If you want my opinion, here it is, I don't care for this movie being that it could influence the election. I don't want Kerry to win, because if he does I feel that the path that we're currently going down (And it is a pretty bad one) will only get worse. Nothing wrong with opinion, you're not going to change mine, and I'm not going to change yours.
C'mon Virex, no need to be rude.

Michael Moore does a good enough job keeping himself on the fringe.
I wouldn't pay to see this movie, but I'll watch it for free, like I did with Bowling for Columbine.

Did I ask for your opinion stalker boy?
His rose-colored perspective towards Canadian medicare is downright funny as well... however his cavalier antics are amusing and I think at the core he is trying to do the right thing, and for that I respect him.
The results are in! ;D
Despite the fact that Fahrenheit 9/11 was only projected onto screens in 868 theaters across the country — almost three times less than the other nine films in the box-office top ten — Fahrenheit 9/11 easily took the #1 spot in its opening week. Fahrenheit 9/11 also became the first documentary ever to debut at #1.
Thereby proving that Moore is definitely not “fringe” as some would like to believe… well, he is at least more popular than the Wayans brothers.
Roger and Me was pretty big though too, it was big enough to be out on video and for me to watch it in highschool
Pets? Or meat?

One question...Has Bush's Approval ratings changed at all since the film has been released?
I agree on seeing it...it makes you think for sure about what's going on in the US and world in general. I think what Brent's been saying though that you have to look at it with the idea that Moore is out to show his story and there is certainly another side to it that isn't being told needs to be recognized.One question...Has Bush's Approval ratings changed at all since the film has been released?
Yes, his numbers have gone down since, but there's no conclusive proof that it's due to Moore's new film.
BTW, I'm glad you saw it. It's a documentary that I feel every American should see.

Yes, everyone should see this objective, informative, educational tool.
Some dude behind me kept saying 'bulls--t' to just about everything in the flick.
Such ignorance is disheartening. :(

I agree, it's amazing that so many people would piss away $10 on a piece of liberal propaganda. That's 2 OTC Cloud Car Pilot figures right there.
Oh, and yesterday (July 13), Reuters reported that opening day receipts for F9/11 had broken British box office records for a documentary. Way to go, Moore. :D
Bias is still bias, even if you like it.

Um, not quite sure a documentary is totally accurate. That much selective editing really sort of detracts from the document portion of the word. Bias is still bias, even if you like it.

Fahrenheit 9/11 took in another $7.2 million this past weekend, bringing its total gross to about $94 million. Not bad.
The movie will come even closer Aug. 14, when peace activists plan to show it on a bedsheet in the front yard of a house in Crawford.

That's at the Crawford Peace House purchased by North Texans for Peace, several friends of mine are actively involved with it including my next door neighbor. The house is on the only road you can take to Bush's ranch. The problem is, he always arrives by helicopter and never sees the protests and displays at the Crawford House. I've actually been to it. My neighbor and I went down there right after it was purchased. I will admit, I was a little uneasy with all the secret service agents driving slowly by. Of course, it was new then. Now, the secret service barely pays attention to them. Obviously, this is merely a symbolic gesture. I doubt it will accomplish anything other than "neener neener neener!" (or is it "nanny nanny boo boo"?)
This is not entirely movie related, but I found it interesting that the Reuters writer keyed into the fact that the movie was not showing within 30 miles of Crawford. Crawford is as big as a postage stamp and they probably have to go all the way to Temple or Waco to get any decent groceries or to go to Wal Mart.
I suspect the small town will be overwhelmed. Rob, take all the food you think you will need with you. Take a ton of OFF with DEET. The last major stop is Waco. In fact I think the last decent hotel is in Waco too. I'd bet the media types are going to take all the good ones and I don't know if I would want to sleep on the ground Woodstock style out there.
Another thing I read was that the President was going to spend the time of the Democratic National Convention at Crawford, so who knows, he might accept the invite and bring a lawnchair and a cooler full of Pabst and join y'all. Oh yeah, I think Waco's dry. So if you want any of the good stuff, take it with you.
And politics aside, any movie theater owner who is short sighted enough not to show a "controverisal" movie or whatever their excuse is, is in my opinion crazy. Look at what this thing has banked so far. (And everybody knew it would whether they admit it or not) Both sides of the political fence flock to see it, some mulitiple times. It is a guaranteed profit center. That being said I have to admit to having not gone to see it yet.
I was hoping Rob might video tape it for me when he goes to Crawford...
