* At 11:30 AM, folks was lined up out the door to see the film
* When we got out, twice as many people were waiting to get in
* There were actually other black people there..
* The movie was even more powerful than I imagined.. call it one-sided, whatever - peeps was cryin' and shit, grown men snifflin'.
* No matter how you feel about Moore, I'd be hard pressed to imagine anyone not being moved by this film.
* Me personally? I am actually going to vote now because of this man. I had given up after 2000 and lost hope in the process.. and I still realize it's fucked up.. and no, I'm not a fan of Kerry, but just for the sake of principle, I will be politically active this fall.

Anyone else see it?

then i'll be able to respond more

but yeah i can tell it's gonna be one sided

That's all mofo's is saying "It's one-sided" sooo what...the news we watch is one-sided too, so put this side with that side and now we might come up balanced...just tired of seeing the "one-sided" shit...this ain't personal...

one-sided. it's crazy

I might be wrong but folks seem to be ruled by the "opinion" of news organizations: since Charlie Gibson and Deborah Norville say it's one-sided, to cover their asses so the GOP won't start calling them liberal, then mofos know what to "think" now...so it's one-sided...

just tired of that being the first thing people say to discredit it...I think the truth hurts and it makes it easier to swallow if it's "one-sided" and not true, and then folks feel like they don't have to do anything about what they've seen...

my friends happened to be in a restaurant with Rumsfield the night of the George W's address and the restaurant rewired the place so that he could see the Fox News channel in the room where he was...he wouldn't watch any other channels...I'm sure he wanted to make sure they aired exactly what as "ordered"...

look forward to hearing what you think

shit is gonna sell like hotcakes. I was seeing his movie on IFC "the big One" and it was ehh.

___________________________
twitter: http://twitter.com/qwimby

and wasn't very impressed w/ bowling for columbine.. now roger and me was good..

but this film is on another level.. just for his craftsmanship - i look forward to discussing some scenes in detail w/ folks who have seen it

what was its most powerful moment, in your opinion?

>what was its most powerful moment, in your opinion?

there were many..

but i don't want to spoil it for you - so i won't go into detail:

* the scene that covered the attacks on 9/11.. the way he did it was very powerful and original and tasteful

* interviews with soldiers and their families before, during and after their experiences in the war.. seeing the contrast in how they felt was deep

* bush's own words and speeches.. just the shit he would say, how he would say it, and the inappropriateness of it all was shocking

* the footage of baghdad the month of the american invasion, before the war started.. seeing the folks in their homes and neighborhoods, happy, smiling.. kids just living - and then contrasted against the bombings and burned bodies of children, etc.

* the footage of the war, from the soldiers' perspective

the bit where the old lady was standing in front of their bombed out house, and shes crying, and saying that they were all civilians, and then ends with 'where is god? where is god?'

i damn near lost it there. i fucking almost lost it more than a few times.

I was bawling at that point.

I mean.. I tried to hold back - but seriously, so many people have fucking died - what's the point in me tryna hold back a tear? Shouldn't somebody cry for them?

One thing I liked tho, is that Moore didn't just try and get you to cry for the Iraqi's.. he sensitively portrayed the tragedy from every angle -- I was crying for the victims of 9/11, the Iraqi's, the soldiers, their families..

but it was probably half men-dont-cry isms and half but-if-i-cry-i-might-miss-something, and you know, i was very engaged in the movie, i didnt want to miss anything.

but really i didnt want to cry because i didnt want to feel worse than i already did. i wasnt ready to revisit those emotions. i didnt have the heart to.

that did it for me. a grown ass man, fighting (i won too) to hold back tears sitting next to my lady. that scene was something else.

i'm just so glad that soldier's letter was read..

it's like - he had no idea when he wrote it that millions (?) of people would likely hear what he had to say.

just thought of that part. Man, that hit sooo hard, and I didn't give a fuck who was around to see... I let it drop drip drop drip drip. I could never know how it feels to be in that position but man did I want to jump up and do something.

i had intended to wait and see it, probably on monday or so, with a friend, since he expressed interest in seeing it as well. but i had fuck all to do this morning, so i went ahead and caught the first show.

so yeah, ill probably end up seeing it a couple times.

there was a standing o when the credits began to roll.

I kind of feel agitated and anxious.. like I wanna go out there and do something - but the damn election isn't until november. It gets you like, all rev'd up.. then it's like.. "what now?"

and yea, i'm going to see it a few times too.

i mean im a news junkie. cant get enough of it. and i wasnt really surprised by anything i saw, but having it all put together, kind of getting a feel for the shape of all of it...its fucking disgusting. and yeah, its the kind of hate you feel that motivates you towards action.

im still taking it all in.

i head read/heard most of the info he presented -- but the way he weaved it together, putting a human face on all of it.. that was the powerful part. and yea, i feel you in taking it all in - my head is still spinning.

I was Peeved after watching it tho..Surprised to see all these people waiting on line to catch it

Politcs are so corrupt even the dishonest
