Saw this last night.
Go and watch it. If you can find a cinema near you that's showing it, that is.

You can't trust a political radio show, but you can trust a political documentary?
prefer Bowling For Columbine
I did hear that it was alright, but merely crude propaganda to wow the uninformed. Also that it's an awful piece of film making. Wasn't expecting a whole lot else really.
Still, I want to seek out and watch Bowling for Columbine.

Well, it was meant to be a joke, albeit quite a poor one.
I do think that Moore uses clips that are in the publice domain - but don't normally get seen because of their graphic nature - to wow people into thinking he has done some extraordinary pieces of research and daring. He's not a talented documentary-maker, and he's definitely not a film-maker. I just think he got lucky in a time when celebrity status can so easily be achieved, which kept him on the platform he needed, and the morale of the country is low enough to celebrate a book of anti-American institute feelings. He's not the first American to put together this sort of work, just got the right time and audience.

I'm not a talented documentary-maker or film-makers, but I never won the Palme D'or and an Oscar. Surely the idea of a documentary in the first place is to get people talking and discussing the important matters at hand? In which case, Moore succeeds with flying colours. He can be a little clumsy at times, and I've no doubt that there are a few facts that have been 'leaned' on but his intentions are righteous and should be applauded.
It's sad that a fat dude wearing a baseball cap is doing more to get Bush out of the White House than the opposing presedential candidate.

You get to see interview clips and news clips that you would never normally see.
"Saddam is evil. He has WMD. He tortures his people. And he tried to kill my dad."

Ah, give Kerry and Edwards a chance. Kerry can say how he took approximately 10 tons of bullets in 'Nam, and Edwards can just say repeat 'my son is dead' whenever anyone asks him about real politics.
Still, more chance than Wesley Clark would've had.

Bring Clinton back :-D
Don't know whether i'm going to see it, from what i heard from my leftie mates who went to see it it's just more 'I hate Bush' material. Highlights including focusing on Bush after he hears of the twin towers falling then just sits there for ages and more of how the war in Iraq is false and unjust.
So that's Bush is a rubbish leader and the Iraq war was waged under false pretences ....... wow thanks Moore maybe you can hop into a time machine and go back a year or so when this might have actually been something new to learn.
Even my friends who hate Bush with a passion said they found it tedious and boring and has put me off going to see it. If i'm totally bored out my mind one day i'll go and see it though. Until then come on Battle Royale 2

There's a feeling going around that this is just retreading old ground and people are saying 'it's not telling me anything I didn't already know'. Well hey there Mr. Presumptious, isn't it possible that a large percentage of people who'll be lining up to go see this movie aren't as clued in to politics and world affairs as you?
I mean, I know the war in Iraq was based on false information and have a basic knowledge of events, but I'll still come out enlightened. And you can bet that there'll be people going to see this who only know what they've read in The Sun and are about to get a rude awakening.
