"The Hunting of the President"...has anyone seen it?
It opened in Chicago this weekend.

I'm interested in seeing it, but was wondering what you thought of it.

Thanks,
Terry

1. Yes, it was excellent
More of a straightforward documentary that F9/11. It made me sad to see how the country had been so taken in by a bunch of liars and thieves. Starr comes off particularly badly.

2. saw it this past Wednesday in fact
and it was very good. I knew a little about tat whole scenario, and the movie put it all together very well

with such a tangled web, they have to avoid a lot of detail (hell just the Scaife influence alone would be a 4-hour movie!) but it definitely gives a good overall picture.

I'm hoping to see The Corporation soon, and abandon all hope

3. Do see "The Corporation". You'll like it.
VERY good movie. 3 hours +, but it's filled with so many good ideas, the time will fly by. Michael Moore and Noam Chomsky are in it.

6. I saw it too
Not sure it was 3 hours. It could have been an hour longer, even.

5. Yes, it was a mixed bag.
I enjoyed it, and found it very informative. However, it glossed over a lot of things and was not as entertaining as F-911.

I also thought that any film about "The Hunting of the President" would be incomplete without mentioning at the end the huge lie/smear the Bush crew made up about them "trashing the White House offices and stealing property".

It bugs me to no end that millions of people still think that the Clinton staff ransacked the White House & offices.
