That's pretty thin and smells of desperation.

What Moore does do it make assertions that he doesn't back up.

Alot here I see is nick picking and no evedence that moore was infact 'incorrect.'  He may have stated some negative things out of hast but then when it comes to bush he could make anyone angry!

 
quote:


 

Fahrenheit presents a powerful segment on the September 11 attacks. There is no narration, and the music is dramatic yet tasteful. The visuals are reaction shots from pedestrians, as they gasp with horrified astonishment.

 

Moore has been criticized for using the reaction shots as a clever way to avoid showing the planes hitting the buildings, and some of the victims falling to their deaths. Even if this is true, the segment still effectively evokes the horror that every decent human being still feels about September 11.

 

But remember, Moore does not necessarily feel the same way. As New York

Blah blah blah. Moore is a whiner. I wanna see the flick, though, because I heard it's knee-slappin' funny.

I don't watch flicks for that reason, I watch them to be entertained. If I want enlightenment, I read a book.

Moore should write some books and I'll read 'em

thats actualy a VERY good point! and one I would definnatly agree with!

Movies are supposed to be for entertainment.  If I wanted to know something thats what books and the net is for.

JJ is absolutely right. Movies are only for entertainment and fun. Books are for enlightenment and information. How many documentaries about a frank topic without any kind of humourous remark did we see that are 2 hours long?

Try Rosetta (or any other belgian docu/film).



Thing is, ...
I don't think these type of movies work in america.

He has written a few books. One of them is the bestseller "Stupid White Men". One of those men is course Shrub.

well farenheight9/11 wasn't as good as bowling for columbine.
