I don't always agree with him or his style of 'documentaries', but there's no doubt they are well done.
I'll watch it. What do I really have to lose? = J |
Free? That would imply that one does not value their time. ;)

I went to his "show" at Key Arena in Seattle that may be in this movie. A friend of mine and I were in the right-hand side 4th row on the aisle. I'm not sure if I'm going to watch this or not. It would be interesting to see how he edits this "movie" to make it look like he was correct. He made quite a few predictions that were far from coming true. The biggest of which, was that if they were able to drum-up a record voter turn-out that the democrats would win (because democrats always win when people show up to vote). That might account for all the illegal voting that took place in Seattle that election.

Great, two hours of Michael Moore telling kids that if they don't vote for John Kerry that he'll eat their lunch.
|
Get it...He's a big guy!rotfl
|
I think this is cool. I'll give it a go. I don't always like Moore and an easily see why Republicans hate him. I guess he does point his finger at them a lot but then again these are the people that voted for Bush...twice.

^My problem with Moore has nothing to do with which side he votes for (I lean towards democrats as well). I don't even mind that he pushes his ideas on people. What bugs me is that he creates "documentaries" and that he claims to deal with the truth all the while spinning every "fact" in his favor.
With that said, I do like the fact that he's releasing his movie for free. I just doubt that I'll watch it unless I can watch it with people and spark a (friendly) debate with them. |
From the description, free was pretty much the only option for this one. Who's gonna pay $10 to see Michael Moore talk to kids about last election?
|
I won't watch it for free, but maybe if someone throws me 20 bucks I'll think about it.

The thing I try to remember is what I learned the very first day of film class. There is no way for a documentary to be unbiased nor is it supposed to be. Since it is the vision of the director (usually) what you see is always going to be how he sees the truth whether they intended it or not.

I watched this last night...it's easily Moore's weakest film (yes, even worse than Canadian Bacon!) - I can see why he went the "free" route with it. It's not so much a movie as it is a highlight reel of the tour he took to college campuses in 2004. I would have felt disappointed had I paid money to see this in a theater. As home viewing, it's okay - but it's a one-viewing kind of movie.

That's what I was thinking. Does Moore think that just because it's about an "election" that automatically makes it topical?

I think ultimately the message is to make sure you and your friend are registered to vote. You've be surprised how many people are not registered to vote.

I've downloaded it a couple of times, and the first time it was 1:02 and the second time it was 1:08. I did it via bittorrent from the official site. Anyone else having trouble getting the full movie?

I just watched the streaming version...I think it's about 100 minutes. I know it was longer than 90. |
