6. I'll see it and buy it
With my arthritic knees, I can't stand in long lines. I'm going to take an afternoon off work soon and go to a matinee. Then, I'll buy the CD, too.

8. Yes, and I plan on seeing it at least one more time
One of the most powerful pieces on cinema I've ever seen. Honestly. It makes you laugh, cry, and most importantly, THINK. Michael Moore perfectly scaled the tightrope between informing, entertaining, and provoking.

10. Saw it Friday
First show, 11:30 AM in Alexandria, VA with my husband. Theater was packed and it received a standing ovation at the conclusion - marvelous!

Taking my 88 year old mother on Thursday afternoon. I look forward to seeing it again!

11. I saw it with the hubster last night.
I would love to go again, but it is most difficult to find someone to babysit.

My husband said in the ensuing discussion: "Why won't those who need to see it not go? I would be open minded enough to see their side presented." I said "THEIR side is presented on the radio and TV 24/7!"

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. At least he knew some of the stuff in the movie because I have been mentioning tidbits for 3 1/2 years. I don't think he fully believed me before seeing it on the screen.

16. I could only see 4 places showing F911 in all of west central FL.
Three are in Hillsborough county and one is in Oldsmar in Pinellas county. That was in last Fridays paper. No showings north or south of the Tampa area. Pretty sad indeed. I'm hoping there will be more openings this weekend. I haven't seen it yet and I hate to have to drive 60 miles to go see it.

17. I saw it in Orlando on Friday
I only had to drive maybe 5 miles to see the movie on Friday. I guess I'm lucky. I live in West Orlando. I saw it at the Cinemark at the Festival Bay Mall. It's also playing at Universal Studios, which is awfully close to where I live too, but I think you have to pay like $5 to park there. I've heard that the movie will be shown in more theatres some time soon.

14. No, but...
I'll be seeing this week, and will probably be joining friends for a July 4th showing as well.

Now there's a neat ID, flooding theaters on July 4th to see Fahrenheit 9/11!

18. Seeing it tonight, as a fund-raiser for Democracy For America
(local chapter in my area - Westchester County, NY)
www.democracyforamerica.com

It's a $40 admission, gets me the 7:30 pm film showing, then an open bar and munchies at a nearby place. All for a good cause.


:kick:

19. Just got home from it a few hours ago.
I had to lay down and take a nap. It exhausted me. I cried so hard and I was so angry when I left the theater. I did think it was great to see about 15-20 people at an 11am showing on a Tues. morning. My 17yr old son comes to visit next week and I'm going to take him (he's a little miffed that I was going without him). If you have teenage kids I strongly recommend that you take them. There is a powerful scene on recruiting tactics used by the military in lower income area's of town.

It was a great movie and very inspiring.
