Fahrenheit 9/11

A controversial movie, to put it lightly. Has anyone else seen it? To say the least, it was very informative, albeit insanely biased and maybe even a bit embellished. I don't like Bush, but I also don't think he was fairly portrayed in the movie. Anyway, thoughts?

That's where he got the title. You're supposed to think back to Fahrenheit 451.

Unfortunatley, I did not enjoy that book. And neither did my sister.


And if Farenheight 451 is the temerature at which Books burn, then what would happen if you kept a book at Fereinheight 450? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I'm a Bush Republican, so you can guess my stance.

I thought it was good. I think of Michael Moore's movies the same way I think of good political cartoons. Entertaining, sometimes insightful, but lacking in the real evidence that is necessary to really change anyone's mind, and not something you should really base your political views on.

I think the movie was full of BS.

Seems good, even if it is made by the Left Wing Bill O' Reily

Seeing Michael Moore make the lady on the CBS morning show look like a complete idiot got him some respect points from me. I still think he's a nut, but still, that's awesome.

I probably won't see this film, though. I'm not a huge movie-goer, and I'm tired of politics lately.

Well, I haven't seen it, but I have heard from many people that there are many factual errors in it and that it is completely biased.

Another thing...

What makes me angry is that the media here (in Arizona), are constantly (and falsly) praising it... saying it is one of the biggest openings ever, it's huge, blah blah... when really, it's opening is not even that big. It's I think number 250, or something, all time. It just irritates me, that the media is trying to make it seem like the best thing since sliced bread.
