Capt. Pork is there anything in the movie you thought was 'well done'? Was there any part of this movie that made you laugh?

What was the general response of the audience as a whole?

Was it a full house?

Yes, I do think it was well done. The movie was a beautiful piece of propaganda. I laughed at the part where the Marine recruiters were making their rounds, acting like pimps looking for new Hos to add to their harems.

It wasn't a full house. About half full, but it was a 9:30-11:30 show, so it was sort of late. Many people applauded and even more people laughed at every joke made at Ws expense. I laughed at a few of them myself.

I also laughed at how he implicated Bush in conspiring with the Tobacco industries by allowing butane lighters on airliners.

As I've said before, Moore may well collapse under his own weight now that he's a success. What was once a champion of antiestablishmentism has now become that establishment. His credability with the people of this country will hopefully no longer be assured based solely on his contrived inability to dress and shave.

to the Cumberland theatre? *that's where I saw it too

if you go to the cumberland terrace, check out the cars parked in front and along side of Sassafrazz (at the corner) You will likely see several kinds of ferarri's, lambourghini's, bentley's, porsche's...you can imagine what the ladies look like?

Makes any comments they make on the film baseless though.

Having seen his first piece of crap "documentary" I think I am perfectly capable of commenting on this sure piece of crap "documentary." I wouldn't give a single dime of my money to scum like him. In fact, I probably wouldn't even piss on him if he was on fire.

xtoronto... the cheering and full houses are at canadian theatres... here they are at best half full . One guy I know seen it and said it was "OK" and asked me if all that stuff was true... I said... no. It is very easy to find a full theatre of America haters in canada I would guess... envy makes em boisterous too. What did the ticket cost in canadian money? couple hundred? Did you get the $40 soda to go with that?

I will see the movie sometime.. I will see it for free tho or rent it when it is bargin basement. I seen bowling and roger and felt dirty both times. they made me angry because I knew he was lying. I don't care how well it is done if the guy is trying to manipulate me. It is really painful to watch one of his movies... Like reading some rabid liberal. I feel that there is very little value in it too... he is not saying anything that is important.

For bowling... I felt he should have went to a big hollywood party and caught people sniffing coke or taking x and shoved the camera in their face and asked them how they could support all the gangs and killings with their drug habits.

For 911 he should be giving the money to the noble poor. Hell... he has been rich all his life. He would have never gotten anywhere if he weren't.

my ticket to F9/11 cost me: $6.79+$1.16(tax)=$7.95
(didn't have a soda at the theatre, but went for Iced Cappacino afterwards ~$3.00)

People for a multitude of reasons try to manipulate others; they want us to buy something, or subscribe to something; they want you to think a certain way or make you feel guilty for not supporting their cause...this always has no impact on me.

ARE YOU SERIOUS? I lose a $20 when I take my girlfriend to the movies.... And that's without concessions.

As you have seen it you have every right to comment on it negatively. I was referring to those who were bashing him and who have NOT seen it.

I haven't seen it either, so I ain't bashing or praising.

Did you d/l the movie or something? If you saw it in a theatre then you have already contributed cash to him.

The guy makes movies you don't like, and you don't agree with his politics, so you'd let him burn to death if you saw him on fire? That's nice.

I'm sure Sling was just expressing that he did not want to add insult to injury.

LOL, he is indeed a very kind and thoughtful person.

Being a canuck, I can take it all in stride - impartial and unbiased. He's not my president, and I actually loved Bush prior to seeing the movie.

Having served with the UN and lived in central Iraq pre DesertStorm, I knew Saddam had to go. He was a bastard, even to us Canadian troops. Played games. Annoyed us. Took away our arms. Was glad when DesertStorm came by. Volunteered to go and help ouster him. Was disappointed we stopped two days too early. Darn UN.

Then I was glad last year when the US was pushing to get rid of him. Believed in the Weapons of Mass Destruction propaganda but more on the side to get rid of him because he's a terrible dictactor (witnessed it first hand).

Moores film is a documentary. It is a point of view. It's very one sided. I do however, agree with the movie facts yet disagree with several tactics Michael used.

That being said, the Bush admin should of let the UN remove Saddam. Bush has too many interested in oil and this film is only brining in home that it's possible that he had a hidden agenda with this war. Knowing his ties to the Saudi government, he should of known better than to do what he did - letting the bin-Ladden family out first on the 13th of September. Baaaad Bush. Have them leave a couple of days later with everyone else. Should of sent in his special forces to hunt Bin Laden two days after they arrived in Afganistan, not two months.

Let's face it. Politics always play roles in governments. But Bush should of been more careful to his ties and friends not to let himself get caught like this.

All in all, this film makes Bush look bad. Actually, it might end his political career sooner than in four more years. Too bad. I liked the guy.

My son saw it and told me about it. Does second hand knowledge give me the right to a little bashing? How about if I say I heard he was a lying scumbag that manipulates only the weak minded?
