For what? For this naive piece of bad cinema? If only he would have arise about sheer mediocrity and made a mordant critic of the Bush administration, and you can do that on ALL administration, it would have been fun.
In the end it is as stupid and larmoyant than the most stupid propaganda film from the other side.
Arise, arise!

Yes, a standing ovation, AND cheers. - Audiophilander 11:51:26 07/30/04 (2)
To fight a propagandist like the bogus POTUS one must employ the tools of his trade, and Michael Moore did this brilliantly; sorry you failed to appreciate it.
Fahrenheit 9/11 is a polemic, but it's also a work of art. The propaganda utilized, and please note that all documentaries are propaganda of one sort or another if the idea is to sway public opinion, is based on fact. What Michael Moore attempted to do was to connect enough of the dots for the audience to get an accurate picture of the Bush Administration and George W. Bush, the man. He did that, and I can't wait for the DVD; hopefully there will be LOTS of bonus footage!

  Well, If you reading some other posts here you will see, what a good and balanced answer there can be. Why being always so agressive?
  You meant certainly a LOTR of bonus....
  Freudian slip?

  - I meant what I said; just wait, Michael Moore's "Director's cut" should have LOTS of out-take footage. - Audiophilander 16:51:30 07/30/04 (0)
    Think of all the material he must've had to edit out in order to bring the film in at a reasonable length and maintain it's focus. This short-hand may in fact be one of the unfortunate albeit necessary drawbacks to filming such a complicated subject; in fact, this may be what is feeding many of his critics. However, instead of just connecting the dots to suggest the Bush portrait, a Director's Cut may be able to include enough damning evidence to paint Picasso's friggin' Guernica.
    BTW, I will ALSO be purchasing the Extended Version of LoTR: Return of the King, but that's another thread! ;^)
