That movie really amkes me cry, but it doens't have the same power on vido as it had on the big screen, or maybe b/c it's the second time I saw it. There was not a dry eye in that movie theatre, and a lot of the people lined up to see it, were prepared to hate it.

I saw it in a theatre in Fla, but I will most likely buy the DVD.... it is an important movie, even if you agree or not

By the way, I think if you on't want to watch it because you think it'll be disturbing ro you hate documentaris or something, then that's fine, but flame me all you want, i think if you've decided not to watch it because you're assuming it's all lies or you disagree with it, then that's a problem. i think if your assumptions and beliefs are so strong, you won't mind a challenge to them. Just my $.02.

will not buy it, watch it on dvd or cable tv. i will not support anything michael moore does -hes an ******* who is just looking for attention and knows what is wrong w/the country but does not knw what can be done to fix it.

Re: Oh the controversy! Now that Fahrenheit 9/11 is out on DVD..

Smm, have you seen any of his other movies or read any of his books?

ETA: I will let you borrow my copy. It's already paid for and you're not supporting anyone that way. I also ave Bowling for Columbine, Stupid White Men and Dude, Where's My Country.

Re: Oh the controversy! Now that Fahrenheit 9/11 is out on DVD..

yes marymoon, before you JUDGE me, i saw Ronald & me in HS - over 10 years ago and i thought he was an ******* then.

I wasn't Judging. I was ASKING.

ETA: Roger & Me is a great movie, but not one of his best.

you are totally judging me by asking if i have ever seen anything by him - meant to imply that i just chose to say he is an ******* b/c of what i have heard about him. and thanks but i don't want to borrow any of his movies, either from you or the free library. i just think he should spend more time fixing what is wrong, rather then just pointing out the problems.

Re: Oh the controversy! Now that Fahrenheit 9/11 is out on DVD..

I LOVED Bowling For Columbine. A Lot of that was facts like how people in Canada don't lock their doors. How there are more guns there then there are here and they have a really low precentage of shootings and killings why is that? Facts and statistics...

What does he lie about?

Isn't that the presidents job? TO FIX PROBLEMS?

Re: Oh the controversy! Now that Fahrenheit 9/11 is out on DVD..

I am just curious is he making money off of this movie?

marymoon Posted: Oct 07, 2004 01:22 PM

Re: Oh the controversy! Now that Fahrenheit 9/11 is out on DVD..

I was asking because many people DO say he's an ******* not having read or seen anything of his. I ASKED. I did not accuse.

And yes he does point out the problems. We can't fix the problems unless we know what they are. I think he's doing a great thing by pointing out problems. He's a filmmaker, not a politician, and he has done good things. He helped those boys in Bowling for Columbine to get Kmart to stop selling ammunition. He speaks out at political rallies to help get people in office who he hopes will make a difference and help solv the problems.

I think it's actualy a shame that we NEED him to point out so many things, that we don't already know them.

And, you can check all of MM's facts. Point out where he lied, and I'll stand corrected.

Re: Oh the controversy! Now that Fahrenheit 9/11 is out on DVD..

Yes, he'sa filmmaker, it's what he does for a living and he is making money. He has every right to.

He did however give up the possibility fo Oscar nomination (and I think he would have defintiely won best documentary) for the OFF chance that his movie would be allowed to be shown on netwrok television. All filmmakers would love to win an Oscar, but Moore wants to get his film out to a larger audience BEFORE election day.

Why I Will Not Seek a Best Documentary Oscar (I'm giving it up in the hopes more voters can see 'Fahrenheit 9/11')

Re: Oh the controversy! Now that Fahrenheit 9/11 is out on DVD..

i never said he lied about anything - i don't like what the man stands for - last time i checked i was entitled to my own opinion. i have the right to choose not to listen to anything he says.

I am not saying he doesnt have a right to make money off of the movie... but more controversary makes more money, look at gibson's passion of the christ...
