I look forward to seeing this film. I wonder if America's NRA will be contesting the award, as they did with Moore's previous documentary, "Bowling for Columbine".

Well, it didn't work for them last time. Why should it work for anyone this time?

Eurotwats swoon for anti-American propaganda films?
Shocking I say, just shocking.

I think the film is anti-Bush, not anti-American.

Think I'll have to see it. This strikes me as the kind of film that is so controversial no one will be able to give it an objective review -their politics will get in the way.

I'm not so sure their opposition didn't work. May have opened many eyes to the deceitfulness of Moore and those so willing to swallow whole his lies.

The funny part is that the only country where no distributor wants his documentary is USA.

Is there something rotten in the land of freedom?
