Anyone else see this movie? I watched it and thought it was pretty interesting. Its the rebuttal to Michael Moore's 911 movie. .
Yes its slanted totally to the right but no more than Moore's film is slanted the other way. Some interesting things in it including interviews with people Moore used in his film setting the record straight. For example, Moore took their comments out of context, and for some, Moore didnt even interview them.
Obviously this movie is geared to attack Moore. I fully realize this movie is presented to suit the producers, but after watching both movies, I get the sense the truth is somewhere in between Moore's 911 and this movie.

I found it WAY more slanted than Moore's film (neither one of these things is a documentary) and if you do a search you'll see I wasn't too impressed with FH911 to begin with.
It seems this film is indicative of the real trouble in the US media on both sides: an absolute refusal to even consider the merit of opposing points of view. It's Good vs. Evil, Them vs. Us and it all adds up to an out and out war of who can insinuate and insult with greater zeal.
Ohhhhh, Take That!...my fellow citizen. That approach worked out gangbusters in 1864.
I'd like to see somebody make a film that deals with how ridiculous most of these divisions are, and how nobody benefits from polarization. Bin Laden's a douchebag, Bush has surrounded himself with Machiavellian deceptive politico's, and since I don't like either of them, (although I'd consider Bush tactics to at least be above board) I must be a double agent for Al Qaeida and the USSR.
Somebody get me my Vodka and Tabouli! NOW!

Well, I dont think it was anymore slanted than Moore's film. They both had their objective to criticize the other side and both go a great job at it.
As I said before, I think the truth is somewhere in the middle.
SD, when did you see this movie? I never even knew it came out. I dont remember seeing any coverage for it.

T'was part of a press kit that had "Micheal Moore is a Big Fat Idiot" (which is hilarious by the way) same money-men behind them at some point, but I didn't see the thing until last month... IIRC the Rogers On Demand Service here in Ontario was running it in the summer... and please excuse me while I dispatch Vitali to slash your tires.

I saw it on sale at HMV in Hamilton a couple days ago.
