OddTodd Reviews Farenheit 911
Fahrenheit 9/11

So this afternoon I headed on out to catch a 2:45 showing of this here flick. I picked up wasabis and a bottle of water and got there a solid halfhour early cause I knew there would be a line. And there was. I had one of those nice experiences when a long line formed behind me after I got on line....

Some of the criticism of this film is that Michael Moore takes things too far. He spins the facts, edits creatively, and stretches the truth to paint a picture of George W being out of it and the whole government system being corrupted. But the Moore painting (fortunately or unfortunately) does have a real paint-by-numbers feel. Like all Moore did was add the color and hang it on the wall. Is it the whole picture? I'm sure it's not. But if it is even if half of the picture. It's still a way ugly portrait about the decision to have this war. Way.
