"fahrenheit 9/11" Free Of Charge


Quote:
While on his 60 city "Slacker Uprising Tour," Oscar-winning filmmaker Michael Moore is joining forces with video store operators in an effort to get as many Americans as possible to see the film before the election. Video stores across the country will be waiving the usual rental fee for "Fahrenheit 9/11," beginning on October 26. A recent Harris poll showed that 44 percent of Republicans who have seen the film gave it a positive rating. "It isn't possible to view this film and come out saying you are voting George W. Bush," stated Moore.

They have a menu and various locations for each state.

No need to be snide Miraculix. I was simply informing people thats its free to view at some local stores. The movie is probably well over 800 MB of data and would take a while for someone to download especially when they are on 56K dial up.

hehehehe I havent encountered a lost soul with a 56K connection for a while. I'd like to see 1 person here who is still on 56K.

What do you think are the chances that the movie will be broadcasted to DTV on-demand cable users. I lost my blockbuster card and the next store where it's for free is at least 1 hour away.

Like the rest of Michael Moores garbage I would not watch that crap if they paid me.. Not that I like Bush and I definately would not ever vote for Bush to be re-elected but most of the crap (ie: bowling for columbine) is just crap which Moore seems to twist around the truth and make it look whatever way he wants.

Michael Moore and everybody else has their opinion and in their mind the way they see things. Almost everything you see and hear is biased in one direction or another.

You shouldnt walk away from the movie as a believer, but as a thinker.
If he makes you look at something from a different side or with a different view point then in my book he succeeded in his efforts.

For that knowledge and the chance to say Michael Moore is full of crap, he has provided a service.

That is bittornet link. There was video somewhere on the net that had MM on the press conference saying that he made more then he hoped for from this movie and that he had no problem with people downloading and sharing his movie as far as they do not do it for profit.
