Fahrenhype 9/11

Grojlach · 09-07-2004, 05:10 AM

Seems the ultraconservatives have decided to create an answer of their own to Michael Moore's most recent movie. And, judging by the trailer, it's gonna be hilarious - even if it doesn't actually seem to make Moore less credible.
I mean, they've got Ann Coulter and Ed Koch; an actual defense of the Patriot Act (!); some cheap strawman one-liners, claiming that Michael Moore denied any terrorist threat whatsoever and that "we" don't have any liberty; the line "I want a president seeing things in black and white"; and, best of all, the following brilliant piece of reasoning:

" Here is a man that says the United States has spread misery throughout the world...
:: pause ::
... Come on."

That one had me in stitches, literally.

Well, if I ever get the opportunity, I'll definitely try to see it, if only for comic value. There are many things you could criticise regarding F9/11, so it shouldn't be too difficult to counter at least *some* of Moore's points, right?

The trailer can be seen here, by the way. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Highly amusing. There are some pretty hefty strawmen in there, 'if they only had a brain...' [img]smile.gif[/img] I'm definately going to see it (if it is released here).

Grojlach · 09-07-2004, 06:30 AM

It's a DVD-only release for now, unfortunately.

The Hierophant · 09-07-2004, 06:37 AM

Ah. So it is. Well in that case it's probably more likely to get released waaaaaaay down here [img]smile.gif[/img] But if not, I'll just get my flatmate to score me a pirated copy.... uh, I mean, I'll just have to go without...

ps: Is it just me, or does anyone else wanna bone Ann Coulter? If she's as aggressive in the sack as she is in her politics we'd be in for a treat

I'm glad someone finally said that out loud. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I believe passionate conservatism is something that more people could get behind.

The women the conserves put forth to speak are for the most part babes. They got to release all that pinned up stuff some where, That's why I'm a conservative, the conserve chicks are hot.

Moore gambles on top Oscar award

Michael Moore says he won't submit "Fahrenheit 9/11" for consideration as best documentary at this year's Academy Awards. Instead, he's going for the bigger prize of best picture.

It would not surprise me if it won either.

If it does, then it's time to bring back HUAC. [img]graemlins/1disgust.gif[/img]

Moore has an over sized ego, which suits him. He has a large body as well.
