Saw Capitalism
If Mike wants to make a difference after he has made his money back and is comfortable he should allow this film to be downloaded and distributed for free.

As for my thoughts, not much new information but it was presented in a way that brings out an emotional angry response. The part with FDR made me cry at the end.

1. Just FYI
Mike allowed "Fahrenheit 911" to be downloaded for free after it was released (he even sent out an e-mail to all the members of his website encouraging them to do so), so he probably would allow this movie to be downloaded as well.

The problem with that strategy is that you won't be able to turn anybody. The people who really need to see the movie will refuse to watch it simply because it's a Michael Moore film.

2. People out of a job
The unemployed and angry is the target audience.

4. I was lucky today
$6 at the Civic Theater. It wasn't as expensive as at a multiplex and I got to support a local non-profit that is good for my community.

5. Mike should wait until the Oscars are announced.
With Fahrenheit 911, Mike wanted as many people to see the film so "'Moore decided to forgo Oscar eligibility in favor of a pay-per-view televising of the film on November 1, 2004.'"

6. Our whole family is seeing it this afternoon.
Both my sons, 12 and 16, insisted on going with hubby and I.
