Fess Up......How many DU'ers have watched "Fahrenheit 9/11?"

[KoKo]

Poll question: Fess Up......How many DU'ers have watched "Fahrenheit 9/11?"

It was out sooooo long ago...I wondered if any "names" from that movie "ring a bell" for those who watched it way back.

But, wondering how many DU'ers ACTUALLY SAW IT? :shrug:

[RC]

1. Saw it when it first came out and bought several CD's. to loan.

[gollygee]

2. I saw it on opening night and registered with DU when I got home

:D

[Gabi Hayes]

3. I have it on tape, but have never finished watching it, cause I get

TOO PISSED!

[im10ashus]

4. It was the first movie I saw in a theater after I moved to NYC.

Never have I heard, in all my life, such a vocal audience in a movie theater and not minded one bit. I loved it. It was the first time I felt I belonged to the city. :-)

[boobooday]

8. A movie I am glad to have seen in the theater

I went to the first matinee, and the place was filled with VERY angry senior citizens, who were hissing at Bush the whole time.

It was a moment of darkness, and then somehow it was a moment of light in a dark room!

[im10ashus]

31. That's how it was with my experience.

I still get e-mails from family member and friends who I suggested the movie to, and they are just finally getting around to seeing it, and they too have seen the light.

[boobooday]

32. I took my son to "Bowling for Columbine"

And the audience was equally "interactive." My son was amazed. I was thrilled. I can't wait for his next one.

[blogslut]

5. Saw it on opening day

Also own the DVD. I guess I've seen it about 20 times now.

Interesting tidbit from the movie:

When they show the sequence where Bush is handed the infamous August PDB, notice that one of the PDB bearers is lil ol Snotty McClellan.

[jean]

6. Watched, bought 20 copies and donated them to our library system

[madokie]

7. When it first came out, wolfie likking his comb comes to mind

[NYdemocrat089]

9. I saw it the weekend it came out. We almost missed my borther's graduation

to see it. It wasn't playing in our theater (small town theater that can't afford to play films that won't make a lot of money (they must have assumed documentary=no sales)), so my brotherand I had to drive 40 miles to see it. It happened to be the same day as his graduation, but we cared more about the movie than some silly ceremony that took 12 years of hard work to earn. :P

[in_cog_ni_to]

10. I went to the theater TWICE when it first came out and I OWN IT and

have watched it two more times since its release. It's an AWESOME movie.

[rocktivity]

11. Passed up a July 4 fireworks display to see it

So what is the very first scene? A fireworks display!!!

:headbang:
rocknation

[VOX]

17. Cool! I saw it **after** the fireworks on July 4th...

It made for a long evening, but seeing it on 7/4 somehow made it have more impact.

Cheers -- :toast:

[Beaverhausen]

12. I only saw it once at the theatre

you reminded me that I need to see it again. Wasn't the rental "updated?"

[sheelz]

25. I own a copy and

there is extra footage and special features. It's definitely worth buying or renting.

[niyad]

13. saw it the day it opened here, have the dvd, which I loan to anybody who

is interested, and called everyone when it showed up on cable recently.

[El Supremo]

14. I haven't watched it since the election.

Can't bear to.

[EFerrari]

15. Why is this a "fess up" poll?

Mike was dragged through the GOP gutter just like many progressives. Is this a sign of how successful they were?

[KoKo]

18. I wondered how many "newbies" actually "saw" that movie....and if it was

as big a BENCHMARK...as I and others thought. And...if it still sits in their minds when James Baker, III is put on ANOTHER "Commission" to investigate Bush Crimes.

Does ANYONE left here on DU know the HISTORY of the Bush Crime Family and how BAKER is the DON!!!!

[EFerrari]

20. Everything I really know, I learned from Octafish.

:)

:toast:

[KoKo]

43. Octafish and some others taught me alot too!

I learned alot here in the early days...real eye openers... :toast:

[datadiva]

16. I saw it

I bought it also so that I could pass it around to my family and friends.

[cornermouse]

19. Bought the dvd.

[misternormal]

21. Saw it...

... bought the DVD, and now I toss it in at unexpected times with people who visit... so far only one person left in a huff before it was over.

Needless to say he hasn't been back :-)

[Pastiche423]

22. At the very 1st showing in my area

I bought the 1st ticket (still have it). Went back a week later to watch it again.

Now I own my own copy.

The two names that stick out the most are John :loveya: Conyers and Jim McDermott.

And yes, I will never look at Paul spit in his comb Wolfowitz the same way again. Loved the groans in the audience during that scene.

[tandot]

23. We watched it in N TX when it first came out. Conservative City...

We were actually afraid that we'll encounter anti-Moore demonstrations, that we'll be the only ones in the theater, or get our tires slashed. Instead, we found an organization distributing leaflets against the Patriot Act and a crowded theater.

[Coastie for Truth]

24. Bought the "Fahrenheit" and "Roger and Me" DVD's

Roger "Squeaky" Smith, the villain of "Roger and Me" and the GM CEO who destroyed GM once gave me a colonoscopy (just like he did to all Michiganders and GMers). I actually think Roger was a Toyota Mole or Troll.

[EFerrari]

26. LOL!

:rofl:

[SammyWinstonJack]

27. My husband and I went to a matinee showing of it. Only about

20 people, total and everyone was pissed! In San Antonio, Texas, no less.

[Individualist]

28. Saw it on the first day it came to my area

Went a second time with another friend and later bought the DVD.

[qanda]

29. I answered too soon

I saw it when it first came out and have seen it many times since.

[gademocrat7]

30. Went on opening night in Atlanta.

Bought the movie and have shared it with many.At the end of the movie everyone stood up and applauded. I live in a red state.

[JanMichael]

33. Saw it at the theatre with the family.

In Concord, NC too.

Lines of Anti-Bush folks out the building in this supposidly right-wing area of Charlotte.

It was a blast.

[NoPasaran]

34. Saw it on opening night

Also registered many people to bvote outside of it. Kind of an interesting phenomenon there. Some folks who would say they were registered before the film would always stop on the way out to register for real!

[havocmom]

35. Live hours from a theater or video store. My daughter sent me a copy

I watched it. Watched it again. And again. Lent it out to several people.

[newspeak]

36. bought the DVD and extras

gave them as presents to my family

[tech3149]

37. Of coooourse

I even got my 80 something parents to watch it. It's always funny answering the question "why haven't I heard about this before?" when talking politics or news.

[H2O Man]

38. Other

I saw it when it first came out; have since bought a copy; and have given numerous copies away. I have watched it numerous times, and while I no longer see "new" things, I still enjoy it.

My kids watch it when their friends come over, which is one reason I see it -- or parts of it -- frequently.

[Kansas Wyatt]

39. I voted to go & see it when was released, before I voted to rent instead.

I did however, copy it several times and passed it on free of charge to anyone wanting a copy.

I even offered to give it to freeps, but they only wanted to call it "lies," without any proof, and scattered like cockroaches when the light hits them.

[ladjf]

40. I saw it early on. Personally, I was disappointed. I felt that it

stopped so far short of the real depth of the Republican criminality that it was misleading. However, in defense, unless the accusations could have been proven in a court, the movie couldn't have been shown at all.

[KoKo]

44. true...there was only so much he could do at that point...

but, he sure got it right for the time when he produced it. I had hoped he would do a sequel. He got hit up pretty bad for it at the time. He told the truth early...and pointed to the "connections" that many Americans are just beginning to piece together..

[ladjf]

49. Moore's heart was in the right place. I was never sure that he

had a full grasp of how terrible the administration was.

[Catherine Vincent]

41. I saw it the first weekend when it came out.

It was very crowded and felt very warm and fuzzy being with my fellow liberals in red state Texas.:-)

[derby378]

42. Heard Michael Moore lay it out in person at a speech in Texas

Back in April 2002, ginbarn and I caught Michael's lecture at the UNT campus in Denton, where he gave us the lowdown on Unocal, Afghanistan, and the bin Laden family. He also unveiled Bowling For Columbine in a sneak peek months before it hit the theaters.

And yes, we have the F9/11 DVD. We don't need no water, let the motherfucker burn!

[Iniquitous Bunny]

45. I saw it the week it came out.

I have been a fan of Moore's since Roger and Me. :)

[Liberal In Texas]

46. I own a DVD copy. That and 3 copies of "OutFoxed" Wait now 2...I give

them away.

[Blue_In_AK]

47. I saw it when it first came out and several times since...

It's more and more relevant as time goes by.

[VolcanoJen]

48. Saw it twice in the theaters, right when it opened and a week after.

I'll never forget the conversations we had in these forums when that film hit the screens.

I hope that movie continues to make people talk for a long, long time.

[PhilipShore]

50. I've never seen it, and never intend to rent it....because it's boring

[Misunderestimator]

51. How do you know it's boring if you haven't seen it?

Boring is the LAST word I would use to describe it, and I saw it twice in the theater and a couple of times on DVD. Boring?

[bikebloke]

52. When it first came out on DVD

I no longer attend the cinema, thanks to eejits running their gobs.

[AtomicKitten]

53. saw it when it first came out AND have watched it many times on DVD

[Felix Mala]

54. Wish he'd made a tighter film, like "Roger" and "Bowling"

He could have cut some of the wilder stuff like the business links. I think Goat-boy spent that 15-minutes in Florida doing nothing because he honestly didn't have any idea of what he should do. It's clear he didn't put two and two together when he was told of the second plane hitting the WTO. I firmly believe that monkey-boy surely was thinking: "Boy, two really unlucky pilots..."

Stressing incompetence rather than conspiracy would have served Moore and us much better.

Still love Moore's work. I just think the other two films I mentioned are far more persuasive. Can't wait for his new one on the health care.

[Ufomammut]

55. "Fess up" to what exactly?....

That some of you are ....*golly*....willing to do something outside of the recommended Establishment view? Fucking hysterical!

This is how all of that retarded "tinfoil" bullshit gets promoted from within: the herd thought-polices itself through social coercion.
Sad, really.

I love the notion that for many dems, Moore's movie is somehow this really "taboo" film that's likely "nothing more than propahanda and distortions..." ...ya know, cause that's everyone says, so it must be correct, right?

There are currently numerous films out that make Moore's pale in comparison. However, Moore has been an underdog champion since "Roger & Me" came out in 89', so even though he didn't go nearly as far with the info in "Fahrenheit 9/11," - he wouldn't have found distribution if he had - he's still one of the first to rattle the sheoples out of their CNN/FOX mindset complacency. Kudos Mike!
