That's one heck of a post for someone who is such a new member. I still haven't figured out how to do pictures. Welcome to FreeRepublic!

Thanks for giving Michael Moore more press. I thought he was gone, but now... heeeeeeeeeeeeee's back!

Have you lurked here before signing up?

[Howlin]

They all say they have.......LOL.

Thanks for your review! Were you able to figure out whether they are going to show the movies elsewhere or just go straight to DVD?

I lurked here before I didn't lurk here.

Michael Moore was going to reinsert himself into the campaign regardless if we discuss him or not. He is still trying to get a network to air Fahrenheit 9/11 on the eve of the election. The video company doesn't want to permit a one time broadcast so soon after the street date.

I think that bothers Axis Mikey as much as the official Cuban broadcast of a "bootleg" of his film did (not one bit). The question isn't whether Michael is willing to piss off the video distributor of his film (he can still push the home video as a way of seeing the "bonus" supplements), the question is whether any network wants to be held financially liable in the resulting lawsuit.

Michael Moore wants to get as many viewers as he can influenced by this film. A "Hail Mary" October Surprise like this would still take a couple days of talk radio to once again refute the points.

If the DUI report in the final days of the 2000 election cost him 0.53% of the vote, then it cost George W. Bush the popular vote.

Great review! Now I have to see this film.
Welcome to FReeRepublic!

Great review! I was half expecting a predictable @ss-kissing review but it looks like you were honest and thoughtful about it. I'm even more curious about the movie now and am anticipating seeing it.

Thanks for that excellent synopsis of this film. I hope this will encourage people, who live in the area where the film is being shown, to flock to see this film, and have conservative news reporters interviewing the viewers for their opinion. I hope this film will be a huge success.

Your review was very useful to someone like me who would never be able to see the film. Thank you.

[mountainfolk]

Thank you for your report. I hope I get the opportunity to see this movie. Welcome to FR.

I enjoyed your post. Thanks for sharing. Wish I had gone to see it myself.

You have great analysis, but Moore thrives on this confrontaion. He's eloquent and brimming with wit - this situation gives him a new platform. His absence from the 24 hour news cycle keeps him with his base: lamenting leftist. With this, we will have news from him.

A better effort would have been made by denying him press credentials to the GOP convention.

I'm never noticed Michael Moore to be brimming with wit, nor anything else, other than lard and hubris. His alleged wit is highly overpraised because critics agree with his political viewpoint, but a few of the more honest ones had to admit that his attempts at humor in "F9/11" fell embarrassingly flat. I write a syndicated topical humor service for radio stations, and if any junior writer had brought me an idea for a sketch in which Bush and Blair were cowboys from "Bonanza" riding off to shoot up Iraq, I would have told him that "cowboy" wheeze is the biggest cliche around, and to come back when he had an original idea.

Michael Moore and Bill Maher have that in common: the more radically politicized they've become, the less funny they've become, until it's hard to remember they ever used to be considered amusing.
