Fahrenheit 9/11 left her cold, but "Outfoxed" enraged her
Note from a friend with whom I went to see F 9/11 last week. She's a very reason-oriented person for whom the emotional appeal of F 9/11 did very little. But I got this note from her about her "Outfoxed" experience at a Portland theater this weekend:

"Erika and I went to "Outfoxed" yesterday. She came out of the movie feeling really pissed off and I was almost in tears."

She also returned the "Uncovered" DVD I had loaned her over the weekend which impressed her much more than F 9/11. I'm not saying F 9/11 was a bad film, in fact I have loved it more each time I have seen it. What I am saying is that "Uncovered" and "Outfoxed" will appeal much more to people who prize fact-based appeals over more emotional appeals.

Note to you folks who already own "Outfoxed" and "Uncovered" on DVD (I own two of each and always keep at least one of each in circulation): please support the theatrical releases of these films, particularly "Uncovered" which has loads of new material and has been buffed up for the movie theaters.

Uncovered debuts here in Portland Sept 10. Check listings in your own area.

1. I have ordered.....
Three copies of Fahrenheit 911 so I can share with people. I have two copies of "OUTFOXED" and have been sharing those. I also have ordered "Uncovered - - The Truth about the Iraq War".

2. I think "Control Room" is the same way..
appealing to thinkers, who are capable of trying on a new perspective.

3. "uncovered" is far more damning
than f911, hard to argue with all that experience.

11. I'm proud to say that our local video store has a bunch of copies of
Outfoxed, and the girl at the counter said that it has been renting really well.

Considering that I live in MS, and that my town used to be so bad Dylan wrote a song about it, I think that is outstanding!

Outfoxed scared the bejesus out of me, I'm sure it has the same effect only multiplied for those who are less informed.

9. Outfoxed
it needed to be made, but since I've always avoided
viewing Faux, it was more than I could handle watching
at one sitting....

Bravo to the film-makers, researchers etc.

10. Agreed - it made me sick
because I, like you, am not desensitized to either the style or the content of that 24-hour infomercial for the foulest rubbish.
