Michael Moore releases trailer for 'Farenheit 9/11' (link inside)

[Lex]

"Fahrenheit 9/11" recently won the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival.

Before it was ever screened, it attracted controversy when Moore announced the Walt Disney Co. had refused to let its Miramax Films division distribute the movie.

Miramax chiefs Bob and Harvey Weinstein bought the $6 million movie personally and are distributing it through a partnership with Lions Gate Films and IFC Films.

The film's publicist, Shawn Sachs, said the trailer was set to be posted on Moore's Web site, http://www.michaelmoore.com

"Fahrenheit 9/11" debuts in theaters June 25.

1. I can't wait to see that movie!

[Claire Beth]

32. me, too!!!!!!!!! n/t

[Tellurian]

2. Powerful...Awesome...Spamming the Trailer...far and wide!! Yee Haw!!!!

[The Screaming Icon]

3. Worth it

It took me about 20 minutes to watch it because of a really crappy feed, but I probably would have watched it 20 times anyway with a good feed so it all balances out.

WOO HOO!

[Tellurian]

8. Ha! I did the same thing...

Q-time hiccuped so many times, I resized the thing to medium thinking it was my machine..

[mhr]

4. If The Movie Is Half As Good As The Trailer, Bush Is In Deep Doodoo!

eom

5. Fahrenheit 9/11 finds coalition of distributors

After being famously dropped by Disney, Michael Moore's award-winning documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 has finally secured US distribution and will hit American cinemas on June 25.

The film is to be released by a partnership of Lions Gate Films, IFC Films and the Fellowship Adventure Group, which was formed by Miramax's Harvey and Bob Weinstein specifically to market Moore's film.

"I am grateful to them now that everyone who wants to see it will now have the chance to do so," Moore said in a statement. "On behalf of my stellar cast -- GW, Dick, Rummy, Condi and Wolfie -- we thank this incredible coalition of the willing for bringing Fahrenheit 9/11 to the people."

6. Awesome trailer....

It looks like Michael Moore has summed up Bush's presidency in this movie. I noticed they showed the "riot" outside the Plam Beach vote counting by Republican congressional staffers.

If the rest of the world is watching this movie they will have to become very weary of the US if Bush suceeds in stealing another election.

[agates]

7. Bush in a tux

"Some people call you the elite...I call you my base."

For once, Bush told the truth.

[Tellurian]

10. Interesting how his speech patterns exudes confidence when he speaks

to his own...dare I say...kind?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

11. Yep...doesn't bumble a thing

until he has to pretend to care.

[Kinkistyle]

35. Bush is only good off the cuff when he can be an asshole.

Because he is being natural. Unfortunately, many times, the situation calls for a measure of compassion, intelligence and statesmanship - which is why he fumbles and bumbles so much.

[wtmusic]

9. To the tune of Alvin Lee and Ten Years After

rock on!! :headbang:

[yorgatron]

12. fuck YEAH!!!

:kick:

[0rganism]

13. Man, this is pissing me off

If anyone has a link to the actual media file, please post it, because that embedded player shit is for the birds. Let's see, do I want grainy crappy quicktime video that tries vainly to keep in sync with the audio feed, or do I want a wmv that only plays audio?

Somehow, the amateur shits who chopped off Nick Berg's head were more capable of propagating their lousy A/V file to me than the technical "geniuses" who construct Michael Moore's website.

[KDLarsen]

16. The WMA file is streaming only..

.. not too sure about the Quicktime file, but here's the link anyway:

Please delete if it's not permitted to post it. Keep in mind that the site is probably experiencing a Slashdot effect.

EDIT: The Quicktime file is also streaming.

[0rganism]

18. Unfortunately, that link is a link to another site with the stream

This seems to be the file storage area in question
wm.mindshare.na-central.speedera.net/wm.mindshare.na-central/moore
qt.mindshare.na-regional.speedera.net/qt.mindshare-na-regional/moore

[KDLarsen]

19. Ok thanks.

.. my level of computer wiz goes just about as far as to looking into the source code of a webpage :D

[silverchair]

14. i am looking foward

i am really looking forward to this movie. may it bring bush down and reveal who he really is. rock on michael moore.

[minkyboodle]

15. kick

Hell-F******-Yeah
I love that he worked the Bush drive in at the end. That always seemed like a keeper to me.

[RapidCreek]

17. Jesus...even the trailer kicks ass!!

I hope the film is edited and scored as finely as this trailer has been.

[AP]

20. When the bomb goes off next to the soldiers -- that made the hair stand up

on the back of my neck.

The shots of Bush -- "you're my base", "now watch this drive" -- made me incredibly angry.

This movie is going to be a powerhouse.

[truthisfreedom]

21. poignant.

made my stomach ache. good use of music.

[drfemoe]

22. my gawd

whoosh* .. "...Impressive crowd, the haves and the have mores. Some call you the elite. I call you my base. ... "

I never go to the theater.. but this could change that.

[Judi Lynn]

23. Thanks for posting the trailer link.

I'm also sending it in e-mails. I'll bet the crowds will be huge and enthusiastic. I hope no rightwingnuts go off the deep end and do any drive-by acts of random nastiness to those waiting in line.

Let me give you a token of my gratitude.

[drfemoe]

24. I CANNOT WAIT

to see this movie .. it's like the 60s all over ..
Baby Boomers Rule, Dude !! Go Pluto!

[NNN0LHI]

25. kick

[Nlighten1]

26. Awww yeah!

[shtinkycat]

27. OMFG

I have a lump in my throat already. June 25th, hurry!

[RetroLounge]

28. Man, that kicks!

B'Bye bush* you piece of crap...

RL

[kerrycrat2k4]

58. a few more months...

:kick:

[robbedvoter]

CBS sunday night news gave it a great plug! In a summer blockbusters

feature, after showing all the big name others, it concluded: "but it may be this one - trailer images from it follow with W playing golf - that may rake it all the money. Cut to interview with pretty woman saying: "now this is the film I want to see this summer"

[Lex]

33. NBC Nightly News played part of it last night too.

And said it would be a controversial film.

But still, they played part of the trailer--a fairly long part of it too.

[SalParadise]

29. wow.

Looks to be a lot more than I expected.

[democracy eh]

30. LOVE the final golf shot

goodnight W

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

56. "Now watch me putt"...

...putt, putt, putt...say, that engine sounds like it's wearing down...

:evilgrin:

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

31. Speaking as a heterosexual male...

I'm in love with Mike Moore. He's hot! I'm not going to be able to sleep until I see this movie!

[Neshanic]

34. Ends with "Watch this drive!" Momma daddy baby WOW!

[Misunderestimator]

36. Oh YEAH!!!!... I had to play it 4 times because of the stopping...

and starting! But this film is going to KICK ASS!!!

"Now watch this drive!" Holy Crap, Michael.... you absolutely RULE.

[Misunderestimator]

37. BUSH: "Some people call you the ELITE... I call you my BASE."

MAN!!!

[Lou_C]

46. That line right there will take him down

Oh God I am in heaven now. They are going down!

[abelenkpe]

63. I hope you are right

A trustworthy election process would be a help. Let's hope everyone wises up and provides a paper trail.

Awesome trailer. Ashcroft singing was really creepy!

It wasn't so difficult to get through, but maybe it's because it is later in the afternoon. 4:30 pm PST.

[TNOE]

38. Wow

Just the trailer was incredibly moving - actually thrilling. Its a shame when the truth is so rare and unheard of that it is thrilling to see it hit the light of day.

[Triana]

39. I've sent to anyone who might be interested...

...no wonder Pappy bu$h is peeved! I want everyone possible to see this film. Spread the word far and wide!

If the corprat-owned, complicit media won't get the truth out about the plutocracy (which they are part of) and bu$hNazi regime, *someone else* will. Either way, it's coming out...

[Rose Siding]

40. Even the preview should win an award

To see that kind of talent wrapped around a message so worthy is inspiring.

[amish_enforcer]

41. Anyone have a mirror?

'cause the main site seems to be geting slammed... TIA

[bicentennial_baby]

42. Can't get it

Me so sad...Too many peeps trying to watch... :(

[myomy]

43. God, I hope lots of Óregular MuricansÓ will see this film.

.

[Lou_C]

44. Can we all say that the Bush coup is going down! LOL

I can't wait he is going down. LOL

[derby378]

45. Release date - June 25

Bush 41 has already slammed the film without refuting any of the particulars. To me, that's one hell of an endorsement.


Want to buy this sticker? Send me a private message!

[ConcernedCanuk]

47. hmmm - Mike even gives us Canuks some credit - well, sort of . .

"(And, as an added bonus, Lions Gate is a Canadian company. Once again, the Canadians to the rescue! It was also a Canadian company, Salter Street Films, that produced "Bowling for Columbine." I know, it's kinda sad we have to keep depending on our good neighbors to stand by us so we can bring our work to our fellow Americans. But maybe this is the year we give them their Stanley Cup back.)"

I guess he had to get that dig in about the Hockey thing

-oh well

We HAVE sort of rubbed it in in the past . .

Remember??

Courtesy of Rick Mercer from This Hour Has 22 Minutes CBC Television:

Apology to the United States


On behalf of Canadians everywhere I'd like to offer an apology to the United States of America. We haven't been getting along very well recently and for that, I am truly sorry. I'm sorry we called George Bush a moron.

He is a moron but, it wasn't nice of us to point it out. If it's any consolation, the fact that he's a moron shouldn't reflect poorly on the people of America. After all it's not like you actually elected him.

I'm sorry about our softwood lumber. Just because we have more trees than you doesn't give us the right to sell you lumber that's cheaper and better than your own.

I'm sorry we beat you in Olympic hockey. In our defense I guess our excuse would be that our team was much, much, much, much better than yours.

I'm sorry we burnt down your white house during the war of 1812. I notice you've rebuilt it! It's Very Nice.

I'm sorry about your beer. I know we had nothing to do with your beer but, we Feel your Pain.

I'm sorry about our waffling on Iraq. I mean, when you're going up against a crazed dictator, you wanna have your friends by your side. I realize it took more than two years before you guys pitched in against Hitler, but that was different. Everyone knew he had weapons.

And finally on behalf of all Canadians, I'm sorry that we're constantly apologizing for things in a passive-aggressive way which is really a thinly veiled criticism.

I sincerely hope that you're not upset over this. We've seen what you do to countries you get upset with.

Thank you.

:silly:

[myomy]

48. Blockbuster, canÕt wait.

.

[Lou_C]

49. I am going to buy my tickets in advance

The show will be packed and I have a feeling that protesters will be out in front of the theater.

[ElectroPrincess]

50. I love it!

With all the talent that Moore brings to this movie, the accompanied music should be awesome. I want to feel the hair stand-up on the back of my neck as CCR blasts "Fortunate Son" while snapshoting each incident of GW Bush's lifetime of failures.

This is beautiful ... hope this trailer gets mega play :-)

Pass it on!

[Lou_C]

51. Ten Years After was one of my favorite bands

I can't wait.

[derby378]

52. Check out PABAAH attempt to block Moore's film

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=106x8186

[Shakespeare]

53. They're blocking redirects from DU.

You'll have to paste the URL into a new browser window to get there.

[derby378]

55. Why do you fear us, PABAAH?

You think a redirect block can stop the truth, boy? BWAHAHAA!

[SidDithers]

57. Didn't the Daily Show goof on Pabaah a while ago...

I seem to remember Rob Cordry (sp?) interviewing this the Pabaah guy - you can probably guess how it went...

Sid

[JimGinPA]

54. Trailer

The trailer was awesome! I can't wait until this film comes out

[sampsonblk]

59. Good deal

nt

[steely]

60. Bada - Bing!!!

I cannot wait. Trailer is awesome. "I'd love to change the world..." is quite evocative.

[Beaverhausen]

61. Fan-fucking-tastic!!!

thanks for the link.

saw a little on NBC last night.

[glitch]

62. Excellent! but I really hope he includes footage of * telling the trifecta

joke to huge laughs at the gop fundraisers in the movie.

[BattyDem]

64. AWESOME!

Go Michael!!! :yourock:


"Some people call you the elite...I call you my base."
--- Kerry should use that clip in a campaign ad. Maybe if the sheeple hear those words come from Bush's mouth, they'll finally wake up to the fact that he isn't a man of the "people" :eyes:

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

67. Good idea.

[Politicub]

65. This is a powerful trailer

Michael Moore is a genius. I can't wait to see the film.

[osaMABUSh]

66. Rock On Double M! - American patriot; What is it rated?

http://www.fahrenheit911.com/ Quick Time small came in best.

I'm there opening night whereever it happens to be playing.

No matinee, baby, I'm paying full price with big box of popcorn and a Michigan State baseball cap in honor of MM.

Can you believe we'll be able to watch a damming critic of Bush w/o having to see it on the Internet or discuss it on a blog? In the mall cineplex along with the other blockbuster summer releases - this is "main street" USA - not buried in an avant garde moviehouse 30 miles from the suburbs!

I hope it's rated PG-13 so all the kids can see it and tell their parents about it.

[zach]

68. downloadable version

In case anybody was interested, Apple has the quicktime version of the trailer up now on their site for download, it's much better than the awful streaming versions of it.

You can get it at:

Enjoy!
