3. Can't speak for others

But I liked it. I realize that parts of it were probably over dramatized, but it got the point home. Unfortunately, Michael Moore was preaching to the choir. Now, may I ask you a question? Do you think it was a "piece of shit"? And since the answer is obviously yes, then why? Inquiring minds want to know.

16. Not familiar with it.
Maybe I'll just say the hell with it and go out to hear a local Blues band fronted by a friend of mine. But thank you for the info.

5. They argue Bush sat still in that schoolroom for only 5 minutes, not 7 as Moore asserts.
I think they're missing the point that he should've gotten his ass off the seat the second the bad news hit. Of course, that's one piece of the film as an example.

11. And the important point is that after he left that classroom
he stayed in the school for another 45 minutes before leaving. So give them their 5 minutes and raise them 45 :)

10. Is that a parody or something?
Edited on Sun Mar-02-08 07:22 PM by parasim
I know of the movie "Fahrenheit 9/11", which I liked despite it's flaws. I've not heard of the one you speak of. Is it a spoof?

on edit: Oh, ok, you changed the post to link to some movie trying to discredit Moore's movie or something... I get it now...

14. It was pretty weak.
A right wing buddy gave it to me as a joke gift a few years ago. I didn't even like Moore's movie that much, it was weak sauce in my opinion, but it's counterpart one ups it.

I will say this though, I do feel bad for that double amputee Soldier who doesn't want to be remembered as the double amputee Soldier from the Michael Moore movie.

17. Featuring Dick "Toe-Sucker" Morris and Zell "I'm Out Of My Freaking Gourd!" Miller?
Yeah, it's a piece of shit.

21. I thought Fahrenheit 9/11 was an EXCELLENT documentary, and the protestations vastly overblown
Just like the docudrama JFK got trashed -- all politics.

In particular, I think that Moore REALLY got to the essence of who W Bush is -- much better than a lot of snootier intellectuals.

The film is not without its flaws but they are WAY WAY overblown
