Michael Moore's "Farenheit 911" can't be made soon enough.
I think that's going to be the thing that adresses ALL the concerns of the last couple of years. Of course its going to make Repug talking heads explode:



But my hope is, they'll play into his hands by having them bring up these questions for all the world to hear, even while they try to knock them down.

What will Joe and June America out in the Heartland do when asked to think about the connection between the Bushs and the Saudis and the Bin Ladens? There will be a segment that will say "Oh, that's that fat guy Sean Hannity told me not to like" and there will be those that sit up and pay attention.

Moore is doing the right thing by keeping mum and not drawing too much attention to himself. Hopefully there aren't any mysterious plane crashes in his future.

2. My guess is sometime in between the Conventions and the election
Maximum exposure and prime Oscar time release (although the Academy will think real hard about giving him another award).

3. Even if it is a bad movie
I will see it several times, just to support MIchael Moore.

Mike was planning to have it ready for Cannes 2004, which is in early spring. Not sure of the exact dates, maybe someone else will know.

11. But it won't convince anyone
And that's my fear about Moore's movie. And also that he will attack Democrats more.
