Slashdot Mirror
Fahrenheit 9/11 Discussion
xerid writes "I saw Fahrenheit 9/11 last night, and the theatre was packed & sold out for each showing. Today, I read on Michael Moore.com about the movie breaking records. However, what I haven't seen was coverage on Slashdot, about the movie's opening day." I saw the film on friday and was really impressed. But while it speaks much truth, and has many funny parts as well as truly heartbreaking ones, I don't know how many votes it will sway. But since there is very little other news so far today, why not talk amongst yourselves!
That's why i always watch Fox news with a bucked of popcorn
Now we have two subjects for the flame war! Cool!
That's why I always read Slashdot with a bucket of popcorn.
If you really do want to hide something, try to be as discrete about it as possible.
Wow. Keeping my secrets discreet...why didn't I think of that.
I believe that Michael Moore is to left-wing/democrats what Ann Coulter is to the ring-wing/republicans. Except one is a small fat guy with beard and the other... isn't
Actually, if you listen to the right people, I think you'll find that Coulter is a small fat guy with a beard...

It would be cool if it didn't suck.
A spokesman for Lions Gate Films said the company debuted the movie in the two theaters to help build good word-of-mouth -- friend telling friend --
Are Americans really that stupid as to need an explanation for what the term "Word-of-Mouth" means?

I remember once reading about a (17th century) playwright who had (proudly) measured the success of his play by the fact that four ushers had been killed at the premiere.
Man is a slave because freedom is difficult, whereas slavery is easy.
It does mean the movie is not a documentary. A documentary is meant to report facts- a subset of all facts which supports your view, perhaps, but if this movie does not do that then it is not a documentary. It's a getBushoutofofficumentary.
Presumably, only a Troll could be pro-bush.
Speaking as a troll, I think that the only way this great nation can be free of all the evil communists and terrorists is by electeing GWB as world leader.
-Condi Rice is on camera saying "There is a definite connection between Iraq and 9/11." We now know that isn't true.
A partisan congressional committee decided there was no link between Osama and Saddam. This from a culture that created the phrase "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Both had a larger enemy in the US than they did with each other. I'll bet there really was a connection.
On the other hand, an impartial judge agreed with the claims of victims of terrorism that there WAS enough evidence to link Saddam and Osama, and allowed a suit against Iraq for reparrations for the deaths of their loved ones.
Just because a congressional committee (The only creature known to man to have over 4 legs, 4 eyes, and 2 mouths, and yet have no brain) decided for political reasons there was no connection, and a Big Fat Stupid White Guy claims there was no connection, this is not enough to say "We now know that isn't true."
- No matter how subtle the wizard, a knife between the shoulder blades really cramps his style.
A damn shame, huh? It's a good thing we conservatives do naught *but* tell the truth! And if, for some wild reason, we don't always stick to the facts (unheard of!), we always make sure to point out where our lies are.
Thank God for the Bible! It's kept GWB II the most honest guy there is, even after the White House was tainted with the evil liberal lies of the previous 8 years! Imagine all of the lies that W could be telling- but we can be sure he never does thanks to that little black Book.
Praise Jesus!

Absolutely true. There is still some debate, however, as to exactly which half.
