fuel the fire (of our dissent...)

Fahrenheit 9/11 is opening tonight and since I have had a busy day I am going to do a cut and paste job.

Courtesy the MoveOn Political Action committee (MoveOn PAC):

"When Fahrenheit 9/11 opened in New York on Wednesday, it broke box-office records, beating out even Men in Black with wall-to-wall sold-out shows. And tonight, despite the right-wing campaigns to stop it, it will open at over 800 theaters across the country -- totally unprecedented for a documentary. Well over one hundred thousand MoveOn members will be there over the course of the weekend, and we hope you can come, too."

Reviews:

"As much as some might try to marginalize this film as a screed against President George Bush, "F9/11" -- as we saw last night -- is a tribute to patriotism, to the American sense of duty -- and at the same time a indictment of stupidity and avarice."
-- Roger Friedman, FOX NEWS

"Among the movies everyone should see this year--whatever your film taste or your political bent--Michael Moore's incendiary documentary 'Fahrenheit 9/11' heads the list. 'Fahrenheit' may provoke, delight or divide its audience. But no one will react indifferently to this shocking, sad and funny look at the Bush administration's handling of terrorism and the Iraqi war."
-- Michael Wilmington, CHICAGO TRIBUNE

"An explosive and heart wrenching piece of cinema . . ."
-- Mark Salisbury, PREMIERE MAGAZINE

"It is worth seeing, debating and thinking about, regardless of your political allegiances."
-- A.O. Scott, THE NEW YORK TIMES

Unfortunately it appears I am not going to be able to go see it until Sunday, so I will post my thoughts about it then.

Finally, this is an old link... but the song is good and apropos considering the release of Fahrenheit 9/11 this weekend.
