Have you seen Fahrenheit 9/11 yet?

[mvd]

Poll question: Have you seen Fahrenheit 9/11 yet?

I did the first day.

[name not needed]

1. Yes. And I want to see it again.

[Doug Decker]

12. Me, too! n/t

[Arugula Latte]

44. Every person I've talked to about the movie intends to see it again

Including me. There is so much to take in.

Michael Moore should win the Nobel Prize. He is a hero.

[frylock]

2. 10 minutes ago..

that thing with the black caucus still has me pissed!!! :mad:

[proud patriot]

3. saw it yesterday with a group of DUers

:hi:

[mvd]

6. That's great!

I am glad you could experience it with other DUers. :hi:

[Indiana_Dem]

4. My repub town will never play it.

It would be too "unpatriotic" <sarcasm>

I guess I'll have to wait around for the DVD. :(

[Nadienne]

8. I had to drive an hour to see it.

It makes me glad that ticket sales did so well, because my hometown theaters didn't get a piece of that money.

[CBHagman]

25. Good heavens! Where are you?

They're planning on putting it in more theaters, so perhaps one will be within driving distance (or pack mule, or whatever gets you there). Seriously, I thought pure GREED would influence some theater chains, but I guess some companies are approaching this politically.

As for myself, I was half expecting for it to open in only a couple of local theaters, so I was pleasantly surprised when it opened several places. I live in an urban area, but sometimes the distribution decisions mystify me (such as the time they opened "The English Patient" in exactly one local theater).

[merh]

30. Not in my area, they still refuse to show NYPD Blues on

the local affiliate. Have to travel for the adventure, that's why haven't seen it yet.

[MrSlayer]

5. Yes, saw it yesterday and I'm downloading it now.

Also going back to the theater this week with a co-worker.

[sthorne]

7. Yep

Saw it Friday and will probably repeat on Thursday with my family.

[ScreamingMeemie]

35. Welcome to DU sthorne.

Good to meet you! :hi:

[BAPhill]

9. I saw it and have a question

Was the 911 scenes blacked out in the film...or was that
only where I saw it?

[MrSlayer]

10. He intentionally did that.

The impact is so much greater without showing the planes hit. The sounds are fucking intense.

[jeff30997]

24. You can say that again!

It had a huge impact on me that's for sure!

[mvd]

11. Yes, he did black out 9/11 footage

I think it was good for artistic effect.

[robertpaulsen]

16. It was intentionally blacked out.

To very chilling effect, I might add. Moore becomes a better filmmaker with each one he does.

[Gothmog]

13. It was great

I am going to see again this weekend.

[fameless]

14. Twice

Opening night with my girlfriend and Sunday night with a group of 7 friends.

[cheezus]

15. if 30% of **DUers** haven't seen it yet

that says good things for the numbers in the upcoming weeks. I think the general public will be curious and want to see it too.

[Canuckistanian]

17. I'm seeing it Wednesday.

My wife just got out of the hospital last week (Hip replacement) and she can barely move in her walker.

But she says she wants to see F 9/11 no matter what. So I'll call the theater and make sure she can get special arrangements to get in.

We haven't seen a movie in a theatre for years, but this is so important, we just have to go.

[Q3JR4]

18. 4% said, I don't want to see it?

All right you Freeper trash, you all need to go back under your rocks where you came from.

[Kanary]

40. So, Shoshanna Johnson is freeper trash?

You really are a piece of work.

Grow a heart, why doncha

Kanary

[Piperay]

52. Come on...

there are other reasons for not caring about seeing it such not needing to because of already knowing the chimp is evil. :think:

[graham67]

19. I want to see it badly...

but the closest theater is 70 miles away. :(

[scarletwoman]

26. I drove 100 miles to see it on Friday.

It was MORE than worth it!

sw

[robertpaulsen]

20. Saw it first day, 1:35pm showing in Burbank

Sold out, of course. Extremely supportive audience, the biggest cheers occurred when the Congresswoman (I think it was McKinney) said, "I don't have a Senator and I DON'T CARE!", and when a soldier in Iraq said, "If Donald Rumsfeld was here today, I'd ask for his resignation". But there was applause at many points during the film, and HUGE applause at the end of the film. As I walked out, I saw a big line for the 4:00 showing and every show was sold out until 10pm. I can't wait to see it again!

[David__77]

21. BTW.

It was Maxine Waters who said the comment about not having a senator and not caring. Then Gore got GOP applause for saying "the rules do care."

[wuushew]

22. A packed monday 2:30 matinee

laughter and applause throughout. An excellent film.

[heidler1]

23. Did F9/11 point out that death by beheading is no worse than,

death by any violent means? That includes death from bombs dropped from aircraft. Likewise for death from suicide bombers, which is no worse than death from TANKS. Actually death from beheading is quite human in that it has very little suffering and lingering pain. Of course the threat of death by beheading could be considered just as cruel as death by electrocution or hanging, but no worse.

[St. Jarvitude]

27. Seeing it with a whole bunch of friends

About half of them are conversative wingnuts, but they at least had the open mind to agree to see the movie. Another quarter of them are fencesitters who generally have a negative opinion of Bush, but nothing too strong, and the rest are liberals like me (but I am the leftest of all).

I'm looking forward to some good conversions :bounce:

[Eloriel]

29. Ooo, be sure and report back!!

I want to hear all about it.

[BAPhill]

28. I live outside the country....but

happened to be in Florida last week...saw it on my
last day...flew out that same night. Glad I did because
I'd be listening to everyone talk about it and wish I had.

The part that got me was the part where the Black House
members kept coming up to object...and because of no
Senator having the nuts to support them...Gore couldn't
accept them. I didn't know that happened! I felt angry.

[jonnyblitz]

31. twice. n/t

[kskiska]

32. I'm in a Bible Belt town and F-911 is being shown in one theatre

and from what I hear, it's sold out. I drove for an hour and saw it in friendlier territory – Asheville, NC. I had to wait in line for 45 minutes. Every show has been sold out there, too, and they've added the number of showings, beginning at 11 a.m.

[G_j]

36. just saw it today (Mon.)

In Asheville, matinee sold out, came out to a long line waiting for the next show. It's certainly doing well here!

[Zinfandel]

33. I'm going to see it again and again and take a non liberal with me.

And when it comes out in three or four month's on DVD (with Special features) I'm going to screen it for every fence-sitter (moderate).

[mvd]

37. Good ideas!

:hi:

[Swamp Rat]

34. I will see it as soon as I can...

but I have an extremely heavy academic workload. Anyway, I prefer to spend every free minute I have right here on DU!

[Lorien]

38. You need a fourth and fifth option

"Yes, and I plan on seeing it again"

"Yes,and I plan on seeing it again. This time I'll be bringing a conservative with me"!

[Danieljay]

39. I've seen it 3 times already..

I live in Portland...I saw it the first time by myself on friday, again with 7 friends on saturday, and then today with a girlfriend. I've been "moved" each time. Seeing it over again has not affected the impact. Today, I heard an 80 year old woman in the row in front of me call bush a chickensh*t. She was with what looked to be her husband and another elderly couple. I love watching the reactions of the people watching.

[0007]

41. Yes, and I plan to see it again this Friday

Can 'ya believe that its playing in Odessa Texas just a few miles from Midland Texas, Laura Bush's home town and where junior learned his values in life?

[freeforall]

42. Twice already.

I love this film. It's worth seeing more than once because there are so many details.

Michael Moore rocks!

[foreigncorrespondent]

43. Other...

...I want to see it, but as yet, I haven't heard of a release date for Australian audiences.

[Oddman]

45. Saw it yesterday

going again tomorrow with the wife - powerful stuff . . . Wolfowitz spitting on and licking his comb just before he scrapes it through his hair is really creepy . . . .


And I ain’t pullin’ your Cheney!

[Lorien]

46. My dad just called

he and his girlfriend saw it at a 1:30 pm show today, in a mostly full theater in Ohio (said the following showing was sold out). He LOVED IT! Called it a masterpiece and said that he just loves Michael Moore now (wasn't a fan before). He said that he thinks Moore is a great and very brave American Patriot. His girlfriend also thought the film was fantastic, and will try to get her RW daughter in law to see it. Kudos again to MM! :thumbsup:

[Egalitarian]

47. No, not showing yet in NW Montana

It is in Missoula, 125 miles away. Maybe I'll go see it, but only if I've got a couple of reasons to drive that far. I'll be patient.

[TrustingDog]

48. have to see it again, at least once in the theatre...

and buy the DVD.

[veggiemama]

49. I'll see it when it hits theatres here in Eire

It's scheduled for Dublin on 16 July, and if I have to make a pilgrimage up there to see it, I will.

[freeminder]

50. have to wait a couple more effing days

and it's a hard wait

[testing123]

51. I am going on Friday

I am going early enough to watch it twice.

[Slippery_Hammer]

53. Yes, Sunday night

More than 200 miles round trip. It was very much worth it.

We got there for the last showing at 10:30pm. The theater was more than half full.

I don't know if its just me getting older but it seemed like the crowd was awfully young. I saw a few get turned away at the door after a through ID checking.

[DinahMoeHum]

54. I'm seeing it Wednesday night, as part of a fund-raiser for DFA

Democracy For America (Howard Dean's outfit)
www.democracyforamerica.com

$40 admission gets me a seat for the film showing, then catered drinks and munchies afterward.

Costs a bundle, but it's well worth it for me - I'm helping out 2 causes!
