kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2004 So NoCalMike, was this thread everything you hoped it would be?... well considering the link went down before half of you got to watch it.......I'd say, "I need more research" Wimp. As far as Mikey Moore threads go, I was quite pleased with this one. I liked the "bandwidth" reference, it reminded me to get an anniversary gift (which I still need to do), Betty and Mike's fight was funny to witness, and an important point was made about all the recent "OMG U R FLAMING" accusations that have sprung up as of late. All we need is a skimpy Eliza Dushku pic and I'll be content... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Betty Houle 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2004 There are many places to watch the trailer, btb. Additionally: "Hey Everyone... As you may have heard by now, we finally have a distributor in America for "Fahrenheit 9/11." Actually, two of them! Lions Gate Films and IFC Films have agreed to aggressively distribute "Fahrenheit 9/11" in theaters all across the country beginning three weeks from today on Friday, June 25th. We are, needless to say, extremely grateful for their courage (trust me, no matter what the potential box office may be, anyone who has considered taking on this distribution job has also met with a lot of pressure NOT to do it in the past month). They will open it on a record number of screens for a documentary. There is no stopping it now! These are great distributors. Jon Feltheimer, the man who runs Lions Gate, was the executive in charge of the company that produced my television series, "TV Nation." And the people at IFC (which owned Bravo) were the same people responsible for funding and broadcasting my other series, "The Awful Truth." So we are in very good hands. (And, as an added bonus, Lions Gate is a Canadian company. Once again, the Canadians to the rescue! It was also a Canadian company, Salter Street Films, that produced "Bowling for Columbine." I know, it's kinda sad we have to keep depending on our good neighbors to the north. But maybe this is the year we give 'em their Stanley Cup back.) There's a lot more to tell you -- and I will write to you again over the next few days. I'm in the mood to spill some beans, much to the consternation of certain people. Oh well! Also, I have posted the trailer for "Fahrenheit 9/11" so that you can get your first glimpse at scenes from the movie--you can check it out at www.fahrenheit911.com. Thanks for all your wonderful letters of support -- they have meant a great deal to us. Save the date -- June 25! It's the first summer film where the special effects will be real... Yours truly, M-I-C (see ya real soon!) K-E-Y (why? because they can't kill this friggin' movie!) M-O-O-R-E P.S. For our fans in the rest of the world, don't worry -- you already have distributors. And most of you will also be able to see it this summer! Thanks" I got to thinking... I would LOVE to see the next Michael Moore project: MICKEY & ME or MICHAEL & ME! A documentary about Michael Moore investigating Disney... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Hero to all Children Report post Posted June 8, 2004 I'm not the right and I don't agree with A MikeSC there most of the time. But seriously Michael Moore is the worst thing that could have ever happened to the left wing of politics in America. That guy is the epitome of all half-assed political arguements. He's the kind of person I'd describe as a "knee-jerk liberal" because that's exactly what he is. He doesn't sit down, look at an issue and make a rational decision about where he stands. All he does in the end is take a quick glance at it and then starts screaming whatever his bias compells him to scream. He's the Bill O'Reily of the liberal media. He doesn't make any good points, he's more of a media personality than an intellectual, he lives soley off of the controversy he creates (on purpose) and he's utterly annoying to everyone who isn't involved in a trench war of the left and the right. In other words: a god damned fat, hairy, wannabe-proletarian left demagouge with about as much ability to argue and reason as he posesses integrity. Please note that this self-declared hero of the lower and middle class lives in the Upper Eastside and sends his daughter to a private school. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any historically-inspired movie is fiction, pretty much by definition of the medium. I like JFK, MALCOLM X, ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN, THE LAST EMPORER, and many more but they never should be accepted as absolute truth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustJoe2k5 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2004 I saw the trailer for this a few nights ago on IFC, and from what I could hear the few times Michael Moore wasn't out of breath I say it is a movie full of edited content. I only saw him asking the questions, then cutting to another scene before giving the people the chance to answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
