Would you or are you going to see 9/11.?To me I really don't wantto live that day,and I don't like Micheal Moore,not because of what he said at the Oscars and his point of views,I just don't like the guy.

I'll admit I'm starting to dislike Michael Moore's way of handling his anti-Bush campaign. But, several of my friends are kind of obsessed with Michael Moore, so I'll probably end up seeing it. I'm not sure if people outside the US will understand this film as much as Bowling for Columbine though.

If Bush isn't re-elected, Michael Moore will probably find himself with very little to do for quite a while. Then again, he always finds something 'corporate' to bash- so even if the next President is the opposite of George Bush, he'll find something to make a film about (The corporate subtext of Green Eggs and Ham).

You may have read that the administrator of this site has put the kybosh on political threads. This applies to this and all forums. That means no more threads that include, but are not limited to: George W. Bush, John Kerry, Iraq, the Bush Administration, Michael Moore, and other things that are related to politics in any way shape or form. Yes, there will be no Michael Moore threads allowed. Sorry, those kinds of threads will one way or the other turn political no matter what. If you really want to discuss Moore and his films, then you can do so by using PMs and/or IMs.

Based on this, I assume this thread should be closed, but to answer the question, I'll see the movie.

No way, will I see this movie.

Yes, I think this movie looks really good.

Thread re-opened.

this is a movie,not politics, I was just wondering if any one was going to see the movie,and I don't like MM. Thats all.It's like saying that we can't discuss movies with (won't even say the word) themes to it.

I do agree with you in a way, it IS a movie, and it is probably the most talked about film of the moment. I think discussion over this movie is more intelligent and interesting than discussion over the latest fluff Hilary Duff/Lindsey Lohan flick. It is political, but it's still a movie, does this mean we can't talk about Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan or Rage Against The Machine in the music board either, since they are all very political artists

The music and art, and whatever has to do with the music of the said artists can be discussed. But if a thread is about anti-Bush concerts, their opinions about the current administration, and stuff like that, that is something I do not want to see. If you want an example, here is one:

I guess since this thread is asking if people will see the movie, I'll leave it. I'll edit out any political comments and opinions like "this film is a bunch of lies" or "the Bush Administration is wrong."

Sorry Brian, but I find your censorship of anything "********** */**" related a bit too much, and I'm sure many others agree. This is just a movie and we should have a right to discuss it like any other one.

i did not know

I don't moderate this board, so I'm not speaking as one. I will say that, as moderators, we are given no leeway when it comes to allowing political discussions. TJ has a zero tolerance policy in place. He makes the rules, and his moderators enforce them.

Fahrenheit 9/11 is an extremely political movie. There's no getting around that fact. If a discussion is allowed, there's a very good chance that it will turn into a political debate.

I miss talking politics here as much as the next person, but for the good of this site, it's a thing of the past. I understand your frustration, but know that this isn't Brian's fault or call to make. If he didn't stop it, TJ would most likely end up locking the thread.

Many times, TJ closes threads on Chit Chat. I don't know it until I see them locked, same as everyone else.

I'm not going to see this film. I didn't like Moore's "Bowling for Columbine" film. It's just his style of films. I didn't like "Bowling for Columbine" when I saw it at the library film theater with my mom. I felt like crying when I saw the film and found it hard to watch.

Seen it yesterday.

No, I am not going to see9/11. Though I think I might go to the movies and see something called "Fahrenheit 9/11."

Again I am not goingto see this movie,it made 8 million so far. It's a indepent film and this is a free country,we do what we feel as long as we don't harm,kill,or hurt any one.But this is a movie.and I think this movie in some way is fiction.Mabe in 20 or 30 years god only knows if I live that long I'll see it,but right now at this time I will not see this MOVIE.

No.


If I want to see cheap, bad fiction I'll watch The Lawnmower Man 2 again.

I just want to say I started that thread with the thought of a discussion more about artist activism as it would relate to that concert than an anti-Bush discussion. Others steered it in that direction. Anyway, now I know.

Never.

You've certainly changed your tune. I remember several months ago you called yourself "a new fan".

It's not a violation of rules to have political statements in our avatars, signatures, etc, and many members have them.

As I wrote in my last post on this thread, I'm not strict about the no politics rule.

It's TJ's rule, not mine.

If you'd like to discuss Michael Moore, please do it privately. You have been warned several times.

Any movie that rants about the President is a political movie, plain and simple. It is a movie but that is not an excuse to circumvent the no political discussion rule. I have to agree with Janice and thank her for sticking up for me. I think she has a good point.

I'll tell you what. I'll have TJ give the final say. After all, it's his board.
