has anyone else seen this movie .. ? i just got a chance to check it out this week with my gf .. and i must say i'm very impressed !! Michael Moore did a pretty good job this time. excellent movie and probably one of the best i've seen this whole year..
it got rave reviews at Cannes (won an award) and at the Toronto Film Festival as well ..
it has a LOT to do with what is talked about in this forum especially

It's not censored in the States, but it's fairly rare outside of major metropolitan areas...
I was lucky to see it last weekend, and as I referenced in the Sniper & Gun Control post, I thought he had a lot of interesting things to say, not just about gun control, but about America in general.
The fear paradigm bit really made me think, and I'm beginning to agree with Moore that's it's a dominant factor in US culture right now...
Love to post more, but have to head off to class now...

This won't be showing in the theatres in my college, very Republican town. But hey, I can probally get it when it comes out on video, can't wait, I live Micheal Moore's work. You can't help but have your mind opened.

I really liked this movie. It makes me appreciate the fact that I live in Canada.
