i didn't see the movie yet . i just saw this trailer now and i can't wait to c it !!!! so u saw it? today a friend of mine asked me to join his political party. for now i'll just take time , think about it and go to their meeting. but things like this (movie and the whole bush a**hole thing) just make me wanna do something for this world u know . i mean .. gosh .. i feel so useless  so what u think bout this movie ? (if u saw it ) and what u think about joining some political party - not me but in general . i know i'm a tough person, i mean i mostly am understood like that, specially in my town cos i'm on a forum where i'm seen as the only loud woman that wants a revolution and is ready to do it herself  I think i'm very "u love it or hate it" person cos i say what i think and i mostly don't care bout the fact that i'll be pointed just cos i said it . right now i don't have time to thoink about joining the politics but it has been on my mind for some years now since i'm very against the stupid chaos that we live in today . but i know i have to learn a lot about it before i decide to join and i know i have to do a lot of things for myself before i make such a step. ok, i'm too tired to make sense right now but here's the trailer if u wanna see it . www.fahrenheit911.com/trailer/windows/large.php |

This movie was banned here in the US....hmm, I wonder why?  ...but I think I heard recently that some big movie production company decided to pick it up and will be showing next month, again, am not too sure on this. Maybe others can shed some light on this...but yes, I definetly wanna check this movie out. But I'm not a political person AT ALL...I dont care for politics really  |

oh yes Juana I heard u'll be seeing it from next month, finally someone decided to distribute it or whatever . well i never reall ycared for politics neither but i always knew where i was standing and lately there are no such people anymore .. i mean we have elections on Sunday, we have to chose the party that we want to put in the European parliament. And i tell ya, between the 7 parties there is only 1 PERSON that i trust and that doesn't mean that i trust the whole party, but ok, if he goes in Buxelles, i know i'll be peaceful . But all the others ? i mean this is strange, u have so many people representing/deciding for your country and u don't like and trust none of them . it's ugly . politics rule the world, it's important that we go to the elections, it's important to know what's goin on . I'm not a fanatic at all, and i still have so much to lear bout everything, but it makes me angry when i think that u have to stand on one side or another and u find out that none of them represent u. anyway, didn't wanna start this .. maybe it's just cos we have these elections .. |

Well politics is NOT boring. I think people who say politics are boring are narrowminded. You should be intrested, 'cos it's about YOU. About our future. There are elections on Sunday here as well. European and also for our government. I'm a member of the Belgian Green Party for as long as I can remember. lol! I even was on a list the previous elections. (They were local elections.) We lost a lot at those elections. Which made me very sad. The right wing (note: very racisitic and very stupidly party) won a lot during those elections. Anyhow, I know for who I will vote on Sunday, it will be Green. 'Cos this is what our world needs. A party who can protest, who is necessary for our future. A lot of people vote for things which they want now... but we really need to think about our future. A house which we can afford, good air and food, a job which doesn't make us slowly die. (stress, ect.) These elections are very important for the Belgian Green Party, if we don't get the 6% again, then I think we're fucked. And I can't imagine a live without this Green Party.  |

The Movie opens Friday June 25 in the United States. Raspburry I hope your I hope your elections went well. In the U.S. we have two parties not the Democrats and the Republicans we have the 5% ultra rich and the rest of us. It is scary. We use to have a free press but no more, I am supprised that Michael got someone to distribute the film since Miramax [Disney] had the rights and Disney in Florida [Tax breaks and bribes from Jeb Bush] also owns ABC. I await the 25th or perhaps a court battle prior. More later. enjoy pjc  www.peterjcrowley.com |

I saw it yesterday. It was hilarious and purely brilliant. Except some things were just Like focusing 15 minutes on a crying american mother, it's like Ok we got the point. And trying to make us believe everyone was sooooooo happy when Saddam was there  Let's not exagerate Michael. No but it was really really good. And i mean, he doesn't take sides, he obviously violently condemns Bush, but he just critisizes everybody really. ;D |

I saw it last night. It was very infuriating. My friends and I had a very good discussion about it afterwards in my car. But then, it turned into a heated debate..One of them kept saying that he wanted his money back, it was too boring Its a fucking documentary you dumbass...His basic problem was that he didnt see the need to pay 10 bucks to see a movie that should be broadcast on public television...He's one of those narrowminded idiots who believes everything the media feeds him that kinda ruined the mood for me...but anyway...the britney spears part.... I wanted to jump into the screen and slap her. I definetly learned a lot though...but I still fucking hate politics. |

It isn't often that you go to see a film at the cinema, where there's hardly a spare seat and you have a totally enraptured audience which gives the film a round of applause as the credits roll. Well, on Wednesday I experienced that at a preview showing of Michael Moore's superb and controversial 'Fahrenheit 9/11'. This could be a surprise box office hit in the UK....and I wasn't too convinced that it would be. Until now. I enjoyed Moore's 'Bowling For Columbine' but one thing that did get a little tiresome in that movie was Moore's screen presence. Here though, he mainly acts as narrator and lets the cleverly edited news footage, interviews and hilarious pastiches do the donkey work as he basically goes to work on George W. Bush, revealing some disturbing facts about Dubya's term of office.....his long association with the bin Laden family being a mere hors d'oeuvre. The attacks on the WTC aren't shown.....Moore shows us a black screen but gives us the soundtrack....the planes hitting, the horror of those that witnessed it.....it's powerful stuff. However, things get more graphic later with footage of casualties on both sides in Iraq. Bush's already shaky (non-existent?) reputation is completely destroyed in this film. Hilarious, disturbing, illuminating, shocking.....Fahreneit 9/11 is all this and more. One of the films of the year.  |

Rasp,
Thank you. The image is from a series of reflections in 100 year old curved glass. A ghostly look from my Life in Layers series. There is a new home page on my site and opinions are encouraged. We have an election [maybe] coming up. There are no real canidates. We have two parties 1. 5% party the ultra rich and 2. the colateral damage party, the rest of us who don't matter to the ultra rich, unless they need sheep to slaughter in the stealing of the rest of the worlds resources.
enjoy pjc

Very pretty! The glass is 100 years old? Wow... how cool! Yes... I think I'm lucky that I can vote for a party who actually is there for the people... I mean, if the Green Party wouldn't be there, I would have no idea who I would vote for... |
