Steve--- Re: movie review

I just finished watching a copy of FAHRENHYPE 9/11. Was it ever powerful. Some of the well-known players involved were Dick Morris, Ed Koch, Zell Miller, Peter King, Ann Coulter, and Ron Silver.

I was really surprised that Ed Koch and actor Ron Silver played such large parts. Koch, in that I had never pictured him as a Democrat of this ilk-- Silver, a Clinton/Gore supporter. Of course, Dick Morris was intimately involved with the Clinton administration. Zell Miller, Peter King, and Ann Coulter were no surprises.

Best line: Silver. "Given enough film I could make Michael Moore look like an anorexic right-winger."

Most poignant: 1) Soldier with both arms blown off in Iraq complaining how excerpts of him at Walter Reed were exploited in Moore’s film. As he spoke, he waved his right stump and left prosthesis. 2) Family members of dead soldiers complaining of Moore’s use of videos of one’s funeral and the other’s life.

I did not see Moore’s film. After seeing this one, I almost want to, only without putting any money into Moore’s pocket, of course.

I got this DVD at Wal Mart for under $10.

I was just at the video place today: they've got both movies right next to each other. Pretty cool. Of course, I realized that's because they're in
alphabetical order.

I haven't seen Moore's movie, either, and won't, unless I can see it for free.
