Has anyone seen Fahrenhype 9/11?
It appears that overstock.com is the lone online seller (edit - they are the exclusive seller according to the site), but I think it was in the Best Buy sale paper this week. It does not surprise me that I have not seen it on this sight since Geoff is obviously a fan of Moore's movie. (Note: that is fine with me by the way as it is his site and he gives me the privillage of using it)
But, since I have seen so little about it, I am just wondering if anyone has seen it or has a review of it. I would really like to see the truth since Moore's film has been constantly tabbed as having a liberal bias at the least, and being out and out propaganda for the Democrats at the worst.
Oh, here is a companion website (they have a trailer):

If it came in, I'm sure that G! would send it my way (I consider Moore as factually accurate in his opinion shows as Rush Limbaugh, G. Gordon Liddy or other extremist trolls) but as far as providing an alternate view of Moore's release, I'm really not up to handling the amount of hate email I'd get by providing a conservative's view, with all the factual data supplied from independant sources, at this time.

Well, I found it on Hollywood Video's site so maybe I can run by and rent it today. If I get it and watch it I will try to give an opinion of what I think after seeing it. I may try to list some of the disputed details from the two films and find independent data to back up one side or the other, but it will have to wait for the weekend. I assume it will be rather loaded to the right where Moore is way Left.

i hope to watch it soon... but i have a feeling it would make my deep disgust w/ bush/cheney even stronger. i may never watch it.
your attempts at trying to determine the "truth" seems kind of pointless to me, but good luck w/ that.

well, i misread this... there really is a dvd called "fahrenHYPE". i thought it was a sarcastic renaming of fahrenheit 9/11.
still, my comment above remains true.

I'll be looking forward to it. Thanks.
By the way, the link in my sig is from an independent (a Nader supporter, actually).

I watch the film and it's an interesting documentary about the 9/11 incident and the war in Iraq. They also talk about how Bush handle the pressure and the problems overall. I gave the film 8/10.
I wouldn't pay more than $15 for it. Find a cheap price.

Personally, I am going to watch both this weekend (on my free trial from Netflix so I do not line Moore's pockets).

I know for a fact that the publishers never sent a copy to DVDTalk. That's why we don't have a review up. Nothing to do with Geoff's personal philosophy.

I watched this film the other night. I thought it was REALLY weak and they spent most of the time justifying the war in Iraq (or trying to) and debating most of the safer points from Moore's film.
But that's not to say that Fahrenhype 9/11 is totally worthless. They did mock some of the points from Moore's film that I thought were overall really weak (such as Bush sitting in the Florida classroom for 7 minutes after getting news of the second plane).
I'd say that overall, this film will make people who hate Moore happy. It's worth noting that I am a fan of Moore myself, but I don't depend on him for the truth. But I'd go to him for the truth before Ann Coulter, that's for damn sure. She is completely off her rocker!
Finally, this film is worth checking out if only to see the (former?) governor of Georgia argue in favor of waging war on Iraq and follow it up by referring to the people of Iraq as "diapers." YIKES!

Wow, if Fareinheit 911 is so full of shit why did they even release this Farenhype movie? Sounds like a bunch of scared republican bullshit to me...And wouldn't that just be responding to leftist propaganda with right-wing propaganda?..totally pointless...at least moore has accurate,documented sources for his information...
