I hope Michael Moore's next film is about the evil cigarette companies raking in huge profits at the expense of peoples' lives. Or wait, maybe a story about those poor urban kids who can't get into college because of their grades...or is it because they are..."urban"?

I think I'll wait for the DVD. I consider myself an average person (politically speaking), although I guess my views lean more to the right. I wasn't offended at all by what I saw in the clip. I also can't understand why anyone would listen to what this guy has to say, seeing him drive around the White House in his truck ranting on the bullhorn, and employing obvious sabotage attacks on politicians- he looks like a lunatic!

Why is Moore even being criticized for the editing in the trailer? Did he edit the trailer himself? Isn't that usually the job of other people?

Generally, trailers are not edited by the filmmaker...or even approved by them! Occasionally, however, the filmmaker will get involved to some degree. I don't know which was the case with Fahrenheit 9/11.

I mean, I can understand not liking a person and hating the viewpoints they have, but wishing they would kill themselves because you don't like them? You really need to switch to decaff my friend.

As for Bush's line in the trailer, it seemed fine to me. It was obviously something he said in jest (if Moore had wanted it to seem serious he could have easily had the laughing in reaction taken out), but something that many people feel is actually true of the president. Until we see how it is used in the actual movie (which I know some of you would have to be dragged kicking and screaming to, so I know that's not going to happen) we should reserve judgment as to how Moore is using the clip.
The thing about Moore that I really find interesting is how his movies have that tendency to cause people to make up their minds about the movie and decide what they are trying to say without even seeing them. I've heard enough people rip on Bowling for Columbine for being "anti-gun" and for gun control and whenever I hear or read that, I know I am in the presence of someone who hasn't even actually seen the movie.

I did notice he made a few changes to the trailer. Additional logos at the begining, and I don't remember him having subtitles on the shot of the Saudi through the chain link fence.
I double checked, the titles are only on the new Windows version. Have at it MM bashers. HE CHANGED THE TRAILER, LIES
