Well - have now seen the Imminent Threat which is Fahrenheit 9/11. The most amazing part of the movie for me was actually not in the film - it was the atmosphere surrounding the film. Most of the moviegoers were under the age of 30, which is to be expected at a midnight showing of any film at Universal. Nevertheless, something amazing happened - people talked. They talked to the other people sitting around them - people they didn't arrive with, people they didn't know. And that atmosphere persisted all the way to the parking garage. I've never heard so much conversation between strangers at any time since the week after September 11, 2001.

Even if you don't agree with Michael Moore's politics at all, if you believe in America, go see the movie. It's a freedom of speech thing.
