fahrenheit 9/11

[*Justine*]

Who's excited to see this. I hope it comes to my theatre.

[Joyce]

I am....but I dunno when! :dozey:

[blangy]

i want to see it too but when don't know :sneaky:

[kalter zug]

74% d/l :cool:

[*Justine*]

your downloading it??

[kalter zug]

yes

[*Justine*]

cam movies are garbage. We bust people at the theatre that 'record' movies while they are watching them...that is pretty stupid.

[sailormaxx]

I want to see it, but I don't think it'll be coming out in a theatre anywhere near my town.

[Gas_Man]

i've double posted... :embarrased: and rather than reading the same post twice. i decided to edit the first one <this one>.

so i thought i'd write a joke, and thought this one was more appropiate for this thread....(no-one need to reply to this bit...just, i hate seeing double posts...this is the first time i've accidently done it)

One day George W. Bush and Dick Cheney walk into a diner. A waitress walks up to them and asks if she can take their order. Bush leans close to her and says, "Honey, can I have a quickie?"
The waitress is appalled and yells at the President about women's rights and storms away.

Cheney then says to Bush, "George, its pronounced 'quiche'." :P :D

[Gas_Man]

some aren't Cam movies...some are the proper thing, given to award ceremonies, which the Official people...copied for money or put on the internet :/ nothing is safe for a bit of money these days. i don't agree with Cam movies at all...but i do download the films if they're there..(i don't understand myself at that one.) but...i wouldn't go to the cinema to watch it anyway...so they're not Losing any money. but i still know it's wrong

[Kenna]

I like your joke...b/c I hate Bush. Whats your story? what are you all about?

[Gas_Man]

what am I all about?? or are you talking to Bush...somehow :huh:

[kalter zug]

cam movies are garbage. We bust people at the theatre that 'record' movies while they are watching them...that is pretty stupid.
i know, therefore i am not d/l such cam mov
it's the original from a preview dvd
hope it finishes soon, it's almost 2 weeks now :confused:

[Kenna]

haha no I'm not talking to Bush...I was asking what your all about and whats with the name gas man??

[kalter zug]

hey gas man...you in avatar? cause I always think its Will! :stunned:

[Professor Peedston]

I think that Michael Moore is an opportunistic, misleading blowhard.

But I'll probably see his new movie anyway, because he's the only person with the balls (and more importantly, the budget and the ability to draw attention to himself) to call Bush the lying hypocrite that he is.

[Gas_Man]

oh..haha...erm...Gas Man is just something a friend called me after too much to drink, and he couldn't sleep next to me coz my breath was like Natural Gas :D :/
erm...the picture i'm using would suggest i'm some kind of weirdo...but i'm not...it's just a random pic from my computer:)
what am i all about... :idea2: Music...write music everyday, and i'm moving to London in 3 months to form a band with my brother and some other people. i have 2 other small project things...one is making music for films/games/tv etc...and another is making music with a girl who i will be living with, who attends a Vocal university course in London. haha..is that what you mean :blush: :P my brother will also be apart of that too.

what are YOU about :D ?

[MAFE]

I'm excited to see this documental... I love Michael Moore and his work... I love Bowling for Columbine!!!

[Reilly]

Michael Moore is a tit, a big, fat, tit. Nipple even, I'd dare to call him a nipple after I've had a few drinks. Nip-pull.

But, like Thomas there, hes the only one whos putting out an official slanging match on the head of George Bush (Hes certainly not the only one with the balls to say anything though, Letterman and Leno, many comedians, from Madonna to Shakira, its fashionable to scrutinise American politicians).

I dont give Michael Moore praise for satirising Bush, Moore simply see's it as a way to gain money. Its now a popular thing to be the rebel anti-real politik, Moore realises this. At the Oscars when he did his speech the Booing was added from the crowd, to save American pride. When asked about it in the interview he said he didnt understand why he was being booed for saying what people were thinking or some bull, when there was no booing in the first place!

Just an example of how Moore cleverly uses situations to make himself look rebellious and everything but wrong.

[Manders]

great comparison reilly. i shall sleep better tonight knowing to call michael moore a NEEEEPLE! true. anyways i will probably see this just because i enjoy his films and love the fact that someone can have the major hairy balls to fuck up george bush in front of america and do it without any second thoughts. what a great nipple.

[kalter zug]

:stunned:

[Manders]

:lol: :lol:

[Professor Peedston]

I don't think anybody can deny that Michael Moore is at the very least an expert at making publicity for himself. He's also a strict adherent to the philosophy of "there's no such thing as bad publicity." :lol:

[Reilly]

Thats true of course, but I still dont see why he has the "Major hairy balls2 to make fun of George Bush in a time when everyone is making a mockery of the man. If it was an Iraqi making fun of Saddam Hussain 3 years ago, THAT would take ultimate balls (And lead to the brave mans definate untimely death). Michael Moore has never gotten any trouble for doing what hes doing, and he wont its not illegal or anarchist style or anything like that.

Hell, I could do it. Manye people could. Michae mOore has the money and support to do it though.

[MAFE]

Nahh.. I think that Michael Moore is the only one that have the balls for kick the fucking Bush's balls!! yeah... he like to make publicity with himself, but in a cool way!!! i love him! i really love him+

[Sweet One]

OK, I finally saw it. Moore definitely introduced compelling arguments. It was very interesting. The first scene was really cool, and the final scene was hilarious! Although i found some parts pretty contradictory, it was still a great accomplishment.

[*Justine*]

thanks for the review, Laura.

[sarah**]

I don't think anybody can deny that Michael Moore is at the very least an expert at making publicity for himself. He's also a strict adherent to the philosophy of "there's no such thing as bad publicity." :lol:

he also sticks to the philosophy of "i can edit my films and fabricate information to make the viewer believe what i am showing actually did happen"

i will see this movie eventually, but i want to research it a lot before i see it to know which parts he has fabricated or exagerrated.

check that site out, i haven't looked through it too much but if you see the film you may want to see what this person says. i haven't seen the film so i am not sure about it, but check it out anyway.

[Kenna]

okay "gas-man"...hehe...sorry its been a few days since you posted that last thing. You seem pretty cool...I'm into music too...obviously. I'm not going to form a band or anything, but I listen a lot. Your move to London sounds sweet, I wish I could do that too. Good luck with all of that. I wouldn't say your picture makes you seem weird...more mysterious if anything. :blush:

[cold_kitty]

i saw the movie in question last night and i personally thought it was great. yes, it's only docu-tainment, this is not authentic journalism or a real documentary - we all know that.

i for one think moore is a good guy and a talented film-maker. i also know that he edits things in favour of his point and exploits emotions to help get audiences to feel for his cause.

all i can say is i'm glad that there is a place where people are finally seeing things that the american media has basically never touched on. the movie raises questions, starts conversations, and helps us all figure out where we stand even if its strongly against moore and his ideas.

there is way worst garbage put on movie screens month after month, finally something with a little substance comes out and everyones up in arms.

[*Justine*]

It comes out in my theatre on Friday.. woohoo. I am definitely seeing it then.

But those things are exactly what make Moore so frustrating. I think a film that's less sensationalistic and attempts to actually present the facts as they are (in other words, an actual documentary) would be a much more effective condemnation of the Bush Administration. As it is now, anybody who disagrees with his fundamental points can dismiss him as a lying hack (which is only partly true), and ignore the fact that his underlying points are often worth debating.

[Professor Peedston]

At any rate, it's certainly more worthwhile than seeing White Chicks or whatever other crap there is now.

[Sweet One]

I agree.

I agree with this as well. :lol:

[Kenna]

I saw it last night too...I liked it. I mean, its weird, like are you supposed to enjoy this movie? I dunno if I'd say I enjoyed it. It was appauling, strong points against bush, whose a douche. I don't even like Michael Moore that much, as many of you don't either. I shed a few tears...its sad how fucked up our world is. I think everyone should see this...before voting.

[Sweet One]

The part with the mother of the soldier was heartbreaking. I cried a lot during that part.

I'm gonna wait for more people see it before I start ranting about the various contradictions in this movie. :lol:

[Kenna]

Yea good call...that was so sad...sooooo sad, I can't even talk about it without tearing up. When they showed bodies of people in Iraq and what not, I started crying too...makes me sick to my stomach. I can't believe this is happening right now in our world. :embarrased: its sickening. i hate bush. :angry:

[Joyce]

I hate politiks! :angry: ....I ´d know how you feel when I watch the documentary!!

[MAFE]

Ok... people that already saw farenheit 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine..... which is better?

[kalter zug]

:blush: d/l is finished!! YAY!

[MAFE]

:huh:

[Sweet One]

Ok... people that already saw farenheit 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine..... which is better?


I, personally, liked Bowling for Columbine better.

[Professor Peedston]

Me too.

[MAFE]

mmmhh... well, i have to watch farenheit 9/11 and then i'm gonna take my desicion!

[*Justine*]

I saw Farenheit last night and really liked it.

[kalter zug]

watched it as well, hmm

strong but not as good as bfc

[*Justine*]

I have yet to see Bowling.

[MAFE]

[StupidIntel]

Saw it last night, it's pretty good.
