So, after viewing this, who comes off looking like the bigger ass: Bush or Moore? Is this simply Moore preaching to the choir or will he sway votes?

[DoughtyOne]

Moore will never see a dime of my money. And I won't waste my time seeing this trash. Sounds fair to me.

[Izzy Dunne]

Bush spent 42% of the time before September 11th on vacation

Does anyone with any credibility claim this, or is it just Moore and his ilk?

[nothingnew]

So did the author give moore a BJ before or after the late night snack?

and the picture highlights the intelligence reports regarding Al Qaeda that Bush and his administration simply ignored during this time off.

Gee, did the "intelligence" ignore it too?

Moore does not argue that the Bush administration knew about or caused the attacks on the World Trade Center, but when viewed in this fashion the President himself appears guilty of gross, intolerable negligence. That was our first jaw-dropping moment.

The title of the movie includes "9/11." Does Moore then explain why 9/11 happened? Investigate Osama and his ideology, his pronouncements? Doubt it...

Sounds like lefty catharsis over the Iraq war.

[rickmichaels]

The slower bits suffered mainly because Moore the porcine POS tried to pack in colossal amounts of evidence of Bush administration deception. 20 triple cheeseburgers, 20 supersize fries, and 20 jumbo chocolate milkshakes.

The sad part is, a lot of the people who watch this trash will believe it's true. "Because, like, man, it won that award so it, like, HAS to be true. Right?" With enough creative editing you could make Billy Graham look like the antichrist.

[Army Air Corps]

Let's see how quickly this bucket of tripe makes its way to the $0.99 reack at the video store...

[Casloy]

He preaches to his own naive choir. After all the money and time he has spent trying to prove what a bad president Bush is, it will be a lot of fun to see Bush win re-election.

Bowling for Columbine didn't cause any upsurge in demands for gun control laws, and there is no reason to believe this bit of agitprop will have any greater impact.

[Argus]

The culture of modern warfare and the personality of the American military does not appear to have changed much since Vietnam, and much of the footage bears a striking resemblance to scenes from Apocalypse Now.

What an utter fool this writer is.

[antiRepublicrat]

The only interesting revelation to be heard was that Moore had been surprised to hear Ray Bradbury’s comments about the title of the film and that he intended to call the author on Wednesday.

Ray Bradbury says he was told Moore would call him back that day when he called to complain several months ago and that Moore's been avoiding him.

[Monty22]

I love how they act like Kmart stopping selling ammo saved anyone or helped do anything besides helping Kmart go broke.

[RavenATB]

Michael Moore's mere existence mocks the underlying theory that has spawned every piece of swill he's created...that the odds are stacked against the "little guy," and that the average guy can't be successful in the United States. If underdogs don't have a chance in America, consider Michael Moore's financial success. Here's a fat, ugly, stinky college drop-out who has made millions of dollars selling a pack of lies to the kool-aid drinkers on the left.

Here's a guy who isn't qualified to be flipping burgers at McDonalds--no corporate giant would hire such a pathetic whale; not even to sweep floors--and he's made a fortune by simply putting into play the old and immortal words, "nobody ever got rich by overestimating the intelligence of the American public."

Moore is noting more than a grotesque and vicious troll who has fashioned himself into the "pied piper" to America's least common denominator.

[stillnoprotestsagainstmuslims]

This movie is totally gonna backfire on this turd, especially since it`s coming out so soon to Reagans death and has been praised by the Weasels. He may have gotten a standing ovation by the Weasels, but this is America pal. Different story here Jack. I like that one guy who writes "I am so sick of this martyr act by Moore" which is the basic feeling I`m getting from people around me no matter what their political affiliation is. Everyone is just sick to death of the negative BS and this idiot is just gonna stick the left into a hole..NOBODY I know who is a democrat likes this Kerry, NOBODY, and to me this flick is just going to make it worse for him, this whole "Bush is evil" sh*t which is their basic message. "Why should we vote for Kerry?- Because Bush is evil" Yeah, okay wacko. People ain`t buying it anymore because they are sick of it, so keep it up Mikey! I have no doubt Bush will be up in the polls after this turd flick is released.

BEVERLY HILLS, California — Michael Moore is convinced "Fahrenheit 9/11" is the perfect summer movie for the MTV audience to check out.

"The film is full of Butt-heads," the director boasted Tuesday outside the premiere of the

controversial documentary. "It's like invasion of the Butt-heads. They all go to D.C. and then another Butt-head, me, comes to try and save the day. And there's a tender love story somewhere in the midst of that."

That tender love story turned out to be a farce, but the film community, which turned out in droves for back-to-back screenings, was more than satisfied with the Butt-heads — Moore received standing ovations for the film, which is intensely critical of President Bush and his administration.

A staggering number of celebrities came out to support the Oscar-winning director, including the Osbournes (minus Ozzy), Drew Barrymore, Ellen DeGeneres, Larry David, Jodie Foster, Viggo Mortensen, Diane Lane, Spike Jonze, John Singleton, Michael Bay and David Duchovny and Téa Leoni, who attended the early screening and reception at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Some (presumably those with Lakers tickets), including Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, Matthew Perry, Jack Black, Leonardo DiCaprio, Chris Rock, Jessica Alba, Sharon Stone and Billy Crystal, caught a later screening at the Laemmle Music Hall across the street.

"I like his stuff, and a chance to see it early and see it for free? Count me in," said director Kevin Smith ("Mallrats," "Clerks"), one of the few who talked to reporters, adding that the film is being released at a bad time for Bush. "It seems like so many people are waiting to see an administration change that you don't even need this film to push it over the edge."

Marisa Tomei, who attended the early screening, said she hopes the film will impact the election, an opinion seemingly shared by many of her peers.

Moore, however, said that was never his intention.

"I'm hoping I'll have an impact on people going out and voting, but that's not why I made the movie," he said. "I made the movie because I want people to go to the movie and have a good time. If they decide to see my movie, I want them to leave going, 'Holy moly, that was something!' "

Part of the entertainment of "Fahrenheit 9/11," of course, is in the ridiculing of Bush. "This film displaces all authority," Moore said, laughing. "So if you're one of those people with a healthy disrespect for authority, this is your movie."

Moore would be more than happy, though, if the documentary did change the minds of Bush supporters or those on the fence. "I read one review where a critic said any swing voter who enters the theater swinging will leave the theater having swung," he said. "I kind of like that."

Before both screenings, Miramax co-founder Harvey Weinstein introduced the movie and commented on Disney backing out of releasing the film, joking that by putting it out themselves, he and brother Bob Weinstein could be looking for new jobs soon (see "Disney Blocks Michael Moore's Anti-Bush Flick").

After the long ovation that followed the film, Moore told the audience he was optimistic about the election in the wake of a recent book tour that took him to several dozen cities. "There has been a shift in this country. The average American is finally beginning to figure it out. We were duped [into supporting the invasion of Iraq]," he said.

"Fahrenheit 9/11" opens in theaters June 25 and is expected to reach 500 to 1,000 theatres nationwide, a high number for a documentary (see "Michael Moore's Embattled 'Fahrenheit 9/11' To Be Released In June").

Bush spent 42% of the time before September 11th on vacation, digging up the soil of his ranch looking for bugs and then going fishing, and the picture highlights the intelligence reports regarding Al Qaeda that Bush and his administration simply ignored during this time off.

42% of 9 months would be what, maybe 4 months give or take ?

Slick willy spent 8 years in the same office and did NOTHING about that same intelligence.
Don't guess mikey mentioned that though did he ?

[NYCVirago]

One of the most absorbing segments details the lackadaisical nature in which Bush approached his early days in office. Bush spent 42% of the time before September 11th on vacation, digging up the soil of his ranch looking for bugs and then going fishing,

That 42% number is Million Mom Math -- I think Moore is counting any time not sleeping or in the Oval Office as "vacation time". I've seen several critics report that "fact" without using any critical thinking to analyze it.
