now playing here, starting today. That's a testimony to its success, as I live in Bob Barr country! It will be interesting to see what kind of turn-out there is here. And even more interesting to see if the film has any effect on the election. How likely to see it are those who get their news from CNN? Or FOX?(!!!)

Did you read the entire review in "The Progressive"? I thought it was a balanced view, praising Moore's courage and the good parts of the film, criticizing what the writer saw as its weaknesses. He suggested that Moore should have ended with the woman learning of her son's death, that what followed that sequence was overkill or extranaeous in some way. He also thinks some of it was mean-spirited or played too much for laughs, and that even though leftists love those parts, others will find them bothersome and thus miss some of the really important information in other segments. Seems a valid concern to me, based on my previous knowledge of Moore's oeuvre.
