11. Saw it tonight in Montclair . . . I recommend the film HIGHLY
Everyone should see it. IMO, it's Moore's best of those I've seen (Bowling, Fahrenheit, Sicko).

3. Did it do well at the box office?
I hope so.

Michael Moore worked hard on it, and it was obvious that he was hoping the movie would
be a wake-up call to the masses.

I don't see how any decent Dem or Republican could NOT love that movie.

It was very good, as you anticipate.

6. Nor here in the northern part of MN
But, I got a survey from Harris and they ask about going to the movies. They listed movies that I would prefer to see first second etc. and on the list was Capitalism.

8. It's a great film, one of Moore's best.
Roger and Me is still my favorite--I like the raw anger of it--but this is a good one for sure.

10. Thank you . . . also noticed that SICKO wasn't for sale in our local supermarkets .. .
Drug Fair type stores this time around --

I still haven't bought it --

Maybe they'll be a double offer for SICKO and CAPITALISM???

And, my library had ONE copy of SICKO!!!!

Edited on Tue Nov-10-09 10:34 PM by newspeak
we all really loved it. Loved the part, the actual film footage, of FDR--him quoting a second bill of rights for Americans. Also, I hadn't realized that when the major strikes were coming down during the depression (I believe it was film footage of a GM strike), the workers were holed up in the building and the police and private security were there against the workers--FDR sent the national guard in, and they protected the workers against the police and hired goons. They actually showed film footage of it.

When the movie comes out on DVD, I'm going to buy quite a few copies and give them as presents.

21. Rated R means accompanied by a parent or adult guardian.
You could have taken them.
