Has anyone seen this movie yet....a copy was leaked onto some torrents websites.

View the official trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joaAfBr9tAE

 

Here is a preview of some of the documentary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFUtAaeYxno&NR=1

nope and more then likely going to pass on Michael Moore's "documentary"

[Matt]

I'm not that interested because his stuff is always so slanted that there's no point. To some extent he needs to learn to let the facts speak for themselves. Generally people can make the connections, otherwise, he's just being arrogant.

[S.E. Hardy]

It's propaganda people! He never hid the fact that he is a propagandist. I think he's a great filmmaker. And I'm seeing Sicko tomorrow!

[Crusader]

saw it, loved it.

[WalrusMeat]

It looks like all his other movies.

 

"More Reasons To Hate America/George Bush"

[bryce]

Calling him anti-American because of his movies is a stretch and a misunderstanding. I believe these issues are important to him in part because he wants to see America live up to values and ideas it is supposedly based upon.

 

And honestly, regardless of the content, I find his film-making style to be enjoyable.

[S.E. Hardy]

I just saw it. I've always believed in socialized health care, but for I think he just convinced the rest of my family ;)

well put. Saw the movie and loved it!

Saw it, and thought it was quite good. Although, he did seem portray it as if universal healthcare can do no wrong, and American healthcare can do no right; but I suppose it's only fair because the media here seems to constantly portray the opposite standpoint.

 

Edit: also, this is the 9000th post in the Rentals, Television, and Readables section.

Did anyone see his responce to CNN. Apparently CNN disproved facts in his movie. He stated he would wage war on them. CNN later retracted its origional findings saying that they were wrong.

gotta love a guy who lets the anonymity of a donation out of the bag during a feature film.

 

i love it when his uncle says (and i paraphrase): "i'm not going down to the states without insurance... what if i get punched in the face???"

[Monkey]

I just like how he had to meet them at Sears.

better to be safe than punched in the face

A motto to live by.

Funny that the two places I have lived in my 20 years on this earth, Sarnia and Windsor, were both featured.
