F 9/11-The Temperature In Fort Worth Texas
Just came back from seeing the film. It was an amazing experience. I took close note of the age mixture of the audience. I am 51 and there were a lot of people my age, a lot of 30 somethings, but what was most amazing was the high number of elderly people. Everywhere I looked, I saw white haired ladies, with fire in their eyes. The elderly lady standing behind me as we waited to get in, told me she made sure to come this weekend because she is concerned the movie will be pulled and she would not get the opportunity. That speaks volumns.

The audience laughed at Bush, cried with Mrs. Lipscomb and sneered throughout. All around me I heard comments. I can't help but believe that if Bush showed up during that movie, they would have torn him apart with their bare hands. And the little, bent over, white haired ladies would have been leading the pack.

Bush Country? I'm not so sure.

Bush is in serious trouble. I cannot wait for Moore to release this on DVD and Cable. Which I believe he will do very soon.

1. I've seen it in Plano and Arlington
and both times there was such a great cross-section of people--all ages, ethnicities, walks of life.....

And wow people were hooting and laughing and clapping and crying.....and yeah, if bush had been there in person.....well, it wouldn't have been pretty.

3. Who could have guessed?
I'm SO blown away by the response here in the US.

I think the Americans have finally had enough. Enough of Bush. Enough of that administration, and enough of war.

5. People HAVE had enough. AND there's been little or no outlet for
those against the administration, especially in Repub areas of TX like where I live (Plano). The conservative blowhards feel happy to spout off whatever they think all the time. Liberals huddle in caves by the light of candles and torches. But not any longer.

7. There was only one location in WV...so we went to Buckeyeland.
Athens, Ohio-a college town...about an hour from here. Met others from WV doing likewise. The 6:40 pm showing was sold out, so we bought tickets, had a few drinks and ate while waiting.

The show was great, but we thought, a little tame. But considering, that is only because it is geared for the general population.

I think F911 is going to be a shocking revelation to the American public. I mean, the people who blindly followed Bush to war, and who even thought there might be a little cheap gasoline in it for themselves are going to be rudely awakened if they go see this film.

They have been HAD! And they are sure gonna be pissed.

I had a good time..there was applause at the end, and outside, a young lady giving out voters registration information.

I wonder, with limited prints of the release, whether certain states were targeted for wide distribution? That's probably what I would have done, for maximum impact on the election.
