Exactly! I thought that in BfC he did not know where the hell he was going, and I was quite disappointed to learn of some of the liberties he took with the facts on it. But F911's focused, you knows where he's going it, the point is clear and concise. From what I know, the facts hold pretty well, and if you go to sites like www.moorewatch.com you can see they hated the movie because that's what they do, but then can't really raise many legitimate complaints besides "Moore is fat" and argue about semantics.

Moore created a classic, hopefully coming generations will look at it and won't let this shit happen again.

In Toledo, the theater was full for the 4:00 showing--and it was beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon. Toledo isn't a hotbed of liberalism, but the crowd was enthusiastic and wild applause broke out at the end.

This thing is huge.

I saw it in a huge theatre in a suburban Pittsburgh multiplex in a Republican-dominated district. It was totally packed at 4 in the afternoon on an absolutely beautiful day.

People actually applauded at the end. I cried no fewer than three times. It really is Moore's best work. The best part is that as people left the theatre they were handed leaflets that said "Five things you can do." Are they doing that everywhere?

Saw it Friday afternoon in Raleigh NC. Theater was packed (thankfully, we got our tickets very early).

Wild applause broke out at the end.

Despite the criticism, I think Moore did a great job. I hear it's helping a lot of undecideds get off the fence as well.

No wonder the Neocons want to ban it.

I'm still sceptical. While I hate Bush and will definitely not be voting for him again, Moore has twisted facts in the past. I'm not sure if I can trust him. So far, nothing too damning has been revealed about this film (he was wrong about the Saudis leaving on 9/11 and Bush's connection to them leaving, but that doesn't crush his case).

The guy just bugs me; look at that snafu he manufactured with Disney. Disney told him one year ago that they wouldn't be releasing his film and he acted like it was a last minute thing. Geez. It's stunts like that (along with his rather infamous liberties with the truth) that make me so sceptical about him.

I prefer Michael Moore's style of taking liberty
with the facts to the republican M/O of taking
liberty with lies. BFC was, after all, an honest
investigation into the cause of gun violence in
America, despite it's leftward slant. And, if
you'll remember, Michael Moore gave the executives
at GM PLENTY of chances to defend themselves on
camera and in public; they would not. And of
course, the Bush administration is free (and in
fact OBLIGATED) to defend themselves from the
"distortions and aspersions" in this film. If
their tact is to assult his character and not
his facts, that tells me his facts are probably
pretty solid.

Here in Fairfax County we are using the film to recruit members of the choir. Local Democrats are waiting for the film to let out and signing up volunteers and registering voters.

Yes, it was DAMN good. I just saw it today. I also cried a few times and was overwhelmed with the applause at the end of the movie. Who claps at the end of movies anymore? It rocked.

I think it's wonderful that people are catching others at the end of the movie and distributing flyers to vote, etc. Michael moore's website also has information on registering people to vote. I agree that this is so absolutely important. But I'm also interested in seeing an anti-war movement re-energized by this, and hope that moore's site (and articles that talk about the film) would also funnel the energy from the documentary into anti-war education and movement.

Anyway, LOVED the documentary, loved the tight analysis presented simply, and can't wait for his next one -- I hear he's going to take on the U.S. healthcare system! It's about time.

A dissenting word--I was not as enthusiastic about this movie, particularly the first half which bounced around from topic to topic [pipelines in Afghanistan, House of Saud/House of Bush, bin Ladens in the air] without making a very coherent point. Is the Bush-Saudi connection why we supported the Taliban? attacked the Taliban? waited to attack the Taliban? invaded Iraq? Moore wanders around a lot here without saying all that much.
It's the second part of the movie, anchored in Flint, that makes the much more important point that Nathan identified -- the criminality of sending working class kids to die for some adventure launched by Bush and Cheney and their kind, Moore really has his heart in this part of the movie -- he lays off the sarcasm, the mocking music, the embarassing photos and all the other gotchas he likes so much.
I guess I know why Moore spent the first half of the movie talking about scandals, since that seems to be the only way we can talk politics these days, It's also more entertaining, I know, to show just what an idiot Bush is. It's a shame, though, that the awful criminality of an unprovoked war on the citizens of Iraq is not enough to fuel the outrage necessary to sell tickets or oust a war criminal from office.

I watched the movie. Same old crap from this multi millionare. This is an example of some asshole from the upper west side, living in a $15,000,000.00 apartment spend his money on his extremist views.
He proves nothing and blames Bush for everythingm of course Democrats are off the hook for doing nothing over the U.S.S. Cole. The Embassy Bombings, Kobar Towers and the 1993 WTC Bombing.
Nothing is mentioned about the theft of millions of $$$ inthe Iraq Food for Oil program. You know the one that Mark Rich ( the scumbag Clinton pardoned) stole millions from the mouths of poor Iqaui children. But his wife visited the Clinton White House over 100 times. So More kept that bit our, I guess to keep his movie fair!!!!
Moore Blames Bush for everythign from Iraq to no parking in his filthy rich neighborhood. I guess billionares like John Kerry like to poke fun at Bush since he is only worth a measly few million. Plus Bush was stupid enough to pat $250,000.00 in taxes while the Kerry family (worth $1-3 billion) paid a whopping $95,000.00 I guess Moore was too busy and he left that part out.
Face it this clown is a radical, he has no objectivity and he produces what hollywood thinks. These extremists hate America, they hate sucess from anyone but the Hollywood elites. They want you to pay taxes but not them, They expect you to stop burning fuel but not them.

Keep on following them, that will get Bush re-elected!

So John Kerry the "billionaire," who had to take
out a "loan" last year to compete with Gv.Dean,
makes fun of the LESS wealthy Bush family because
they pay MORE in taxes.?. and then Michael Moore
told Neil Bush to move his "fuckin little Hyundai"
because it makes his Porsche look cheap... and
all this while having to collectively steal
millions of dollars in foreign aid to Iraq...
Tell me, Puff, when does Hillary enter into this
fantasy of yours and kill someone? Is it before
or after Ronald Reagan runs into the south tower
to save a burning baby? Are Ramsi Yusef and the
Blind Sheik still free men in your version of
events? What about Richard Clarke? Don't tell me;
"He said nothing!" right? Are you allergic to
facts or something? Did you even see the movie?
