4. I love hearing all about the movie and the people that was there...
I live in a small coastal town in Oregon and will not be able to see it until it comes locally...

19. my stepbrother
lives in a small coastal town in Oregon too, and can't see it there. However, he was here this morning, I ordered him a ticket for the Regal in Corvallis, and he's on his way to see it now.

5. Yeppers
thanks Will. Michael Moore has a platform and he used it. For that I will read as many threads about him here as there are. I respect his talent and the courage he has to put this out there at this time. Gotta support this, goodness knows we have elected officials who don't have anywhere near this much courage.

6. I have to admit there are quite a few too many..........
but I must say that there is an air of excitement and happiness in these threads that is quite a welcome change from the usual negative vibe.

10. Now, see I'm guessing you're being sarcastic..........
Edited on Sat Jun-26-04 01:08 PM by BigDaddyLove
and that's cool, but that's not what I meant.

Many discussions here generally tend to degenerate into "I hate Bush" and then "Me too" and so on; these F911 threads are different, people are energized by this film and there is a real feeling of excitement and empowerment, and that things are actually changing.

17. No, I was not being sarcastic.. I was damning these woe is us threads
that have been all the rage here over the last year. I think Moore's film was great. Look at all my posting on other threads regarding F911. So you are guessing wrong I was supporting what you were saying. I am all for this "excitement and empowerment" and I certainly want to see things change esp with this Government.
Aside from that.. I do hate Bush, his Admin, and their celebrity, talking head, "expert of the week" media supporters also the traitors like Zell Miller, Chris Hitchens. I hope they all go down and are afraid to be seen again in public for fear of further humiliation. I can never hear enough people say they hate Bush and his fellow travelers.

8. When you see this movie, you HAVE to talk about it!
I couldn't wait to get home to get caught up -- and I didn't get home till after 1 a.m.! There were about 8 pages of new threads on the "Latest" page, most of them on F9/11 and I read them all before I went to sleep -- then another 5 pages by the time I got up this morning.

Some of you got to see the movie Wednesday or early Friday but those of us who are seeing it later still want to talk about it! I agree we don't each have to start a new thread but the movie affects us so PERSONALLY that I understand why each person feels compelled to start his or her own. For me, it's been 12 hours since I left the movie and I'm still feeling very emotional about it.

11. Howdy Tex! My thoughts exactly. As soon as I got home from the
movie, I turned on the computer. After I sent a thank you E-mail, I clicked on DU. The only thing that got me off line was a thunderstorm. Even that took a while until the lightning got too close.
Welcome to DU. The world needs more good Texans like you.

9. Hide them?
This is the happiest and most inspired I've seen people on DU! We're leaving to see the film in about an hour (a matinee), and I can't wait! B-)

14. Bring back Reagan for you
Or Jacko, or Scott Peterson or that basketball star. Sigh. If too much of a good thing is hard on you during a drought of bad...GOOD!

15. Oh, I wasn't talking about me
I'd have F911 threads up and down all day if it was up to me. But I've seen a few snarky comments from the wrecker crew here and there, and thought I'd help out. :)

18. Thanks for the reminder :)
I'm only sick of them because it haunts me that I haven't seen it yet, and neither of my parents seem too interested in chaperoning me. The last time my mom chaperoned me was to "The Passion", which she had to buy a ticket to even though she didn't wish to see it.
