Not sure how many of you know about him but if you haven’t read any of his books then you don’t know half the truth about the US Government and George W.
I think it’s great news that he won the top award at Cannes Film Festival with Farenheit 9/11. It’s a must see move when it gets released here in a few months.

Absolutely Hux!!! Apparently, they may not show the film in the good ole USA- so much for democracy and free speech huh?
Thanks for the post, Hux. Hope it;s as good as Bowling for Columbine!

It’s only Disney who have got cold feet at the moment. And I guess it’s up to them to release it to another distributor if one is willing?
I reckon there’ll be a few internet sites where the doco will be available.

C’mon guys it’s just another person trying to make some money out of spinning a yarn.
It happens everyday everywhere, just ask Richmond.
Why does Michael Moore have to be the truth? Is it possible that he has used some artistic licence somewhere?
I think it could be possible.

Enjoyed his book, Stupid White Men, think he had to get it printed in the UK, printers etc in the USA wouldn’t get involved..
If its all untrue, its a wonder he’s not done for slander/libel
Off Topic, Current Affair was intersting with the Opuim Poppies/ Heroin in Afghanistan

I am not saying it is all untrue, but come on, you don’t think there may be a tad of artistic licence in it to make it a good story!

Rugby Fan is you ever read any of his publications he goes to great lengths to quote the source of all his information, particularly articles publicly available in the press.
