Sigh. I was supposed to go with friends to see the 4:45 show today, but it had been sold out since 10am. So I won't see it until Sunday evening. But I've already got the ticket so I won't be kept from it twice. I heard that Bush is preparing campaign ads to refute it. Bahahahaha.

I don't want to ruin it for anyone, seriously, but the way Moore treated the actual events of 9/11 in the beginning of the film was an incredible tasteful, powerful and moving moment. Talk about transporting your audience.

There aren't any movie theatres near me showing the film. Why am I surprised? This is the same state that just took away all my civil rights. I might have to wait for video, or drive a couple of hours -- I'm thinking the second option sounds better.

It was an intensely moving experience - I saw it last night in North Hollywood. Sold out all over LA.

Tho Moore's political slant was clear (and one I agree with) I felt like he did a great job of showing the details and tying them together in a way that seemed beyond reproach from the Right.

Go see it if you can - and my guess is that for those places where it it not showing, once theatres see how much money can be made it will start showing up in more cities.

In Canada, we watched bowling with our mouths hanging open. This ought to be great!

I just saw it. I'm still in tears. The woman who cries about the ignorance of people, crying harder that she was once one of the ignorant tore me to pieces.

The movie leaves me at a loss for words, still, after three days. We all know we are spoon fed from our governments propaganda machine, it is an entirely different story when you are looking at the plate it was spooned from. Bush makes me embarassed to be an American and that is very very sad and hurtful. Worse, the ones needing to see this the most will never see it.
