Am I the Only One Who ISN'T Buying "Fahrenheit 9/11"?

[Placebo]

I mean, don't get me wrong, I thought it was a great movie, but I don't see any point in buying it. It isn't like there's going to be anything in it I haven't already seen. :shrug:

[DebJ]

1. Our home is a library of history books and videos...so it fits

right in.
And all our friends want to see it again.

[Bronco69]

2. Actually I think there is going to be things in it you haven't seen.

I think there are supposed to be some outtakes that weren't shown when the movie was released.

[NYCGirl]

3. There's over an hour of extra footage. Lots of stuff you haven't seen.

NT

[Sydnie]

4. Then buy one and donate it to a library, senior center or local higher

education library. Help the people that haven't seen it. Invite your fence sitting friends to dinner and a movie. Hold a block party and share the knowledge.

[Nite Owl]

5. There is new footage on

the DVD and it's good to have for a collection and to loan to someone who hasn't seen it or won't buy it themselves.

[IdaBriggs]

6. I've got 3 copies coming from Amazon.

One for my permanent collection, one to donate to my local library, and one for "loaning" to friends who haven't seen it yet. :)

[Shoeempress]

7. Then you can't bring home drunken repukes, tie them to a chair, wait

for them to sober up and them make them watch it. Oh, am I the only one planning on doing that?

[oldhat]

8. YOU MUST BUY F9/11 OR ELSE YOU ARE A GOP STOOGE

OBEY MICHAEL MOORE. YOU MUST BUY F9/11 TO PROVE YOUR LOYALTY TO THE CAUSE. IF YOU DO NOT BUY F9/11 AND REFER TO IT AS SUCH, YOU ARE A REPUBLICAN PLANT AND A FREEPER AND YOU HATE GAY PEOPLE. OBEY MICHAEL MOORE. THAT IS THE DIKTAT. THAT IS ALL.

[Placebo]

10. that's what I thought

[rman]

49. so you thought wrong

happens to the best of us.

[Eric J in MN]

9. The reason is so you cna lend it to people (nt)

nt

[whistle]

11. I'm buying the DVD and I'm watching it and I also saw it one week...

...after it was released to theaters. I want to have it to pass on to my grandchildren. I also wish to play in in the retirement home when I get to that point in my life. And if like in the story Fahrenheit 451 where the fascists burned the books, if this should happen in our society and all documentaries are purged, I want to be able to recite word for word what was in Moore's movie by mouth if that's what it takes to fight these bastards.

[LynneSin]

12. I like to support folks on our team so they make more movies

Not like Moore has folks like Richard Mellon Scaife who will willingly pay for books & movies never made just to keep right-wing shrills in business. Our team has to rely on folks like us to buy their product and I'm glad to give up $20 to help them out when the product is good!!!

[madaboutharry]

17. I think it is important to get the

sales numbers as high as we can.

[Barney Rocks]

13. I can't until at least after the

election. I am tapped out--I gave far more to Kerry and the DNC than I could afford. I figured that was more important--this movie has already achieved lots of success. But, eventually I would like to get a copy and show my support for MM.

[lightbulb]

14. I'm not buying it because

1) It's very good, but very dated. Who's going to want to sit down and watch it once Kerry is elected?

2) If I want to support M.M. I'll send him a check, saving him the overhead of giving me a DVD.

3) Most importantly, the movie doesn't even begin to explore extant, plentiful evidence that there was very high-level DOMESTIC support in the planning and execution of the 9/11 attacks. Leaving this out gives the whole film an aura of make believe.

I love the courage M.M. exhibits in attacking the * admin, but this subject needs to be looked at more realistically if we really want to know why things are transpiring the way they are.

[oldhat]

16. Right

Most importantly, the movie doesn't even begin to explore extant, plentiful evidence that there was very high-level DOMESTIC support in the planning and execution of the 9/11 attacks

Exactly. The Jews did it.

[lightbulb]

19. We're each entitled to our opinion

But I'm not sure attempting to group all the perps under one ethnic umbrella is very useful.

By the way, half of NYC residents are with me on this.

http://zogby.com/news/ReadNews.dbm?ID=855

And there is ton of good info out there in case any of the unconvinced are curious. Granted, you need to use your head and weed through the delusional crap that gets mixed in. Just do a google search for "9/11 truth" and keep an open mind.

[Chelsea Patriot]

52. Lightbulb, This NYC resident is with you on this.

Personally, I think the percentage is way over 50%.

And of that percentage, no one thinks it was "The Jews".

[Mr_Spock]

15. Well, I'm gonna pass it around to folks who DIDN'T see it - they

should have a chance to enjoy it too!

[Freepers are pussies]

21. Me too

There's plenty in my family who never saw it, but they're more likely to watch it if there's a DVD available.

[MrSlayer]

18. No, My Union is sending out copies to every member.

I'm indirectly buying it I guess. Either way it's important.

[Vickers]

20. So don't fucking buy it...

Go buy "The Manchurian Candidate" or something.

[Mr_Spock]

22. Yes, but what do you really think?

:evilgrin:

[0rganism]

23. *sigh* Yes, Mr. Nation, you are the ONLY one who isn't buying it

Everyone else in the whole world is going to buy it, except you. Michael Moore will, himself, come to your door, asking why you have foresaken him. Then, the rest of humanity will parade in the streets wearing our Michael Moore T-shirts and waving our Hammer&Sickle flags to protest your very existence. Later, we will have gigantic planetwide orgies to which you will not be invited.

[Vickers]

24. Whoa...orgies?

Aw man, I'm buying TWO copies!

:spank:

and

:evilgrin:

[Bluebear]

25. Ooh ooh, pick me, pick me! I bought it!

When is the next orgy?

[PretzelWarrior]

26. buy it--donate it to your public library. or loan it to neighbors/family

there are a wealth of ways to get added value from your purchase of it. Hey, you can watch it some time in a few years at your leisure when this bad dream is but a distant memory and realize what we were up against.

An added bonus reason: the more money Michael Moore makes, the easier it is for him to make his next film fighting our cause for justice to the common man. That's really what it's all about. We aren't just wanting to get rid of Bush. We want people to have a fighting chance in this world. Whether he was fighting big business, gun lobby, or GM....Michael Moore was always about seeing people getting steam rolled by the big buy and trying to point a spot light at that so we could collectively shudder and decide we want to make a difference.

[devinsgram]

27. This is a piece of history that can passed down.

I ordered it right away.

[HEyHEY]

28. It pisses off repubs - that's reason enough for me

[Steelangel]

36. Same here..

I plan to buy it once it gets out in some local stores (in 8 hours later! WHOO!). I did that to piss off these retards (neocons).

[napi21]

29. Sorry guys, I'm renting it from Blockbuster.

I don't have a lot of spare $$, so I'm renting it on Tues.

[thebigidea]

30. maybe I should start a thread about how I'm not buying colesaw

That'll show all those coleslaw-bandwagon-jumpers.

[Vickers]

31. They hate us for our cole slaw

:spank:

[HEyHEY]

32. How could you not buy coleslaw? It's soo good

[NightTrain]

33. Since I don't have a DVD player...

...I really don't see the point in buying F-911--or any other film, for that matter!

[JohnKleeb]

34. Yes

:D
I am a spender, so I buy everything that I want.

[pacalo]

35. No, a lot of Republicans won't be purchasing it, either.

[donheld]

37. hahahahaha

yea the freepers arent buying it. i wanna see the 100 or so minutes of out takes or whatever.

PS why is everybody :spank:?

[sweetheart]

38. Rather "Fahrenheit 451", the original

Kurt Vonnegut (sp?)'s story is the original metaphor... i'm kinda
tired with re-worked things that get sloppier.

Madonna did not make a better version of american pie, as with a
million "remakes", and "version 2's", the original is better.

[Bridget Burke]

43. The title's from a Ray Bradbury story

And I don't believe Moore's movie is exactly a "remake". He just liked the phrase. Much as Bradbury titled another story "I Sing the Body Electric"--"borrowed" from Walt Whitman.

Do you really know anything at all about this movie?

[AngryOldDem]

39. I'm buying it....

...so my older daughter (13) can see it. She wanted to go when it was in the theater last summer -- husband and I had a disagreement about whether she could "handle it." I think she can. And I think she needs to see it, for many reasons.

[soup]

53. Good decision.

This way you can answer questions as they come up. It's a lot to take in even for those of us who have been following as things unfold.

Our 17 yr old son and his g.f. (with her parents' permission) went to the theater with us as part of our group. I doubt I'd have taken him if he were only 13, but watching and sharing it at home is a good alternative.

Taken one step further, let her handle the remote.

Let us know how it goes.

[in_cog_ni_to]

40. I ordered it and have seen it twice in the theater.

I ordered 2 copies. One to keep here and one to loan out. I buy as many LIBERAL books and DVDs as I can to support the Democratic cause. When a Liberal's book hits #1 on the NYT Best Sellers list or on Amazon...THAT IS GOOD FOR THE LIBERAL CAUSE! I do what I can that way. PLUS, F 911 has NEW footage that hasn't been seen.

[Flammable Materials]

41. There's a ton of extras on the DVD.

It's at least worth renting for that.

[unfrigginreal]

42. I'd have been shocked if you were going to buy it.

[DoYouEverWonder]

44. Last night Michael Moore said doesn't mind

if people don't buy the video. He thinks it's okay for people to make copies or download it from the internet or even steal it. His stand on copyright issues is that it's only wrong when someone else tries to make money off of your work, otherwise once it's digital it's out there.

[Bridget Burke]

45. Whenever somebody uses the phrase "I don't see"....

I feel the need to remind them that yearly eye exams are really important.

[Bridget Burke]

46. Should I be upset?

My copy's on the way. I'm glad to support Moore & his work, & I'm looking forward to the extra stuff.

Local news (KHOU-TV, CBS in Houston) mentioned the DVD's release in the morning's entertainment news. They ran the "now watch this drive" scene. A nice little laugh to start off the day.

[johnnyrocket]

47. I suppose my stance is: I ALREADY KNOW BUSH IS CORRUPT..

evil..vile...ignorant...full of shit...incompetent...and fucking stupid.

I might catch the DVD at some point...but I don't need "enlightenment".

[rman]

48. you mean you missed all the posts about how there's a lot of extra's

on the F911 DVD?

[0007]

50. Your title is misleading

[Z_I_Peevey]

51. Well, I'm getting a copy

and showing it to every draft-age person I can.
