I agree with Moore more than I disagree with him, but take what he shows with a grain of salt. We all know how media entities like Fox News-ish Channel or Ann Coulter include this, exclude that, or spin things their way. Moore is a bit like anti-Fox. He doesn't flat out lie like Coulter, but he can't be 100% trusted at face value either. He is trying to make a point and he will do what it takes to make that point. Plus, I've seen him 'at work' in person, and he is a bit of a demagog with a crowd.
That said, from what I've heard he's dealing with a lot of things that the US commercial media are too scared/stupid/lazy to deal with, so I am looking forward to seeing it.

I completely agree with you tomdarch, you really do have take moore with a grain of salt. He can just as easily use things to get his point across that may be taken a little out of context like other forms of media. But I like you said I still want to see it because I believe by only getting all sides of the story can a person form their own valid opinions.

I'll go! I can't speak for them, but Sandy's down there all week with The Pirate, and they might go, too.

Will I be able to get my fifteen year old brother in law in to the movie. He really wants to see it.

Wish I could go, but I will be on the way to Vedauwoo Friday morning...
Watched "Bowling for Columbine" in Hueco this winter. Pretty intresting take, but not totally objective.

I would totally skip out on Vedauwoo to hang out with me. I heard that place was crap.

Well, I could just join the Jet set like Yasmeen, and go to the movie then fly out the next day. But who would be there to pick me up?
And it is choss for sure. You should probably just make arrangements to climb at shelf instead...
