TIME review of Fahrenheit 9/11
http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,638819,00.html

(Snip)

Moore is usually the front-and-center star of his own films. Here, his presence is mostly that of narrator and guiding force, though he does make a few piquant appearances. While chatting with Unger across the street from the Saudi embassy in Washington, he is approached and quizzed by Secret Service agents. Hearing from Rep. John Conyers that no member of Congress had read the complete Patriot Act before voting for it, he hires a Mister Softee truck and patrols downtown D.C. reading the act to members of Congress over a loudspeaker. Toward the end, he tries to get Congressmen to enlist their sons in the military. Surprise: no volunteers.

I can't wait!

3. Moore would like for it to be released by July 4, 2004 but they don't
Moore would like for it to be released by July 4, 2004 but they don't have a distributor.

Mirimax, a subsidiary of Disney, produced the movie, but Disney is prohibiting Mirimax from distributing it.

4. Could The Timing Be Better?
I think he should try to release it closer to the Repugnantcan National Convention to whack at the boost a candidate typically gets from those pep rallies.

7. we need to assemble a Strike Team as soon as this is released
Immediately corroborate the points Moore makes, constantly research GOP talking points on the film, debunk them, and Google Bomb the results.

10. I'm usually not one for documentaries at the cinema
I would rather watch them at home on t.v. But I think I will make an exception when this one comes out. I'm really relieved that it's getting good reviews. That's makes Disney look even more foolish than they alread did.
