• Haven't watched it; can't get a decent stream yet. Just posting it for monkeys. Not taking sides.. but if you have heard my voice at all in my stupid comments.. you'll know where I stand. Use critical thinking. Always.
• I'm behind the firewall of DOOM here, does anyone have a link to either the actual files, or the .mov or .wmv of the thing so I can download instead of stream?
• I'm only getting a bad request reported at the site (Error 400).
• i watched it fine on my T1 line at work. also sent it to my right-right-RIGHT-wing brother. in a futile attempt at moderation, i guess.
• Why the heck are they trying to stream it? Damn dilettantes.
• They're preaching to the choir with me, but it sho' do look interesting. Michael Moore lost all credibility to me after TV Nation, when he played the "shucks-i'm-just-folks" card and presented himself as a loudmouthed lummox. Am I supposed to seriously believe that the only way to appeal to the masses with common sense is by being a belligerent bully? Don't answer that.
• Just got done watching it. Wow. If the film is anything like the trailer it'll be a bombshell. That is, of course, if enough people see it and listen to the footage, not dismiss it because of the editor.
• Haven't seen the trailer, and won't see it in the theatre. Turns out the theatre management people don't like it when you talk back to the screen...
• Non streaming copy here. Looks interesting, and like a good piece of film making.
• I think its interesting that everywhere describes it as an anti-bush film. If its just presenting the facts (a big if, obbviously) and those facts make George Bush and the Americna Government look bad, surely that doesn't make it anti-bush, does it?
• From the trailer, it looks quite obvious that it's not all about Bush, and it's apparently not all that partisan either.
• Can't wait to see it. Among many other things - further elaboration from Congressmen on how bills are passed, as hinted at ("We don't read them") in the trailer, promises to be verrrrry interesting.
• With the state of the nation being what it is dng, if it doesn't kiss his ass and point him out as the flawless character we all know he is, it's anti-Bush.
• the New York Review of Books . . uhh, review of the movie.
• I go around praising Moore wherever I go, and I know. Even the ones who agree with him in general tend to react to Michael Moore in an 'amused' way--they're really too balanced and mature for that sort of sloppy outspokenness, but he is amusing, isn't he? That's the kind of reaction that's got one eye on the exit all the time. When the tide REALLY shifts, it will take a split-second for those people to decide he's gone too far and become 'unamusing.'
• I'll second all of that, PF. Thanks for the link.
