Ok...Ijust bought and got done watching this movie and have to say it's changed my view of America....slightly. I knew we were evil vindictive bastards before but this movie is just insane. It could be because I despise the religious right and think it's insane that other countries with just as many guns have about 400% fewer murders than we do (and I'm a fan of owning guns)...but regardless of Michael Moore's ill-timed and poor taste oscar acceptance speech everyone should see this film. Absolute genius. It's hilarious (and piss poor) how Dick Clark and Charlton Heston act like total douche bags.

I agree to some extent. I was sickened by Moore's agenda being shoved down my throat just as much as the rest of the tragic figures and images.

I'm not sure I saw it as an agenda so much as a wake up call. So many people don't know how real the problems discussed in the movie are. But you're right...some of the footage they obtained was very disturbing. I guess it serves to drive the point home that we do what we want whenever we want to.

i thought that movie was just crazy at first...all those Michigan places that he was at, Ive been to and know exactly where they are (once i get into the area...)
I thought it was pretty decent overall, made a lot of valid points...that were almost all 1/2truths. But I still liked it
