Review of Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) by Terrys. — 25 Jul 2004

I'm a little puzzled by so many Democrats running so hard and fast away from Michael Moore at the convention this week when we all embraced him during the first 4 or 5 weeks of this film's release to the tune of $100M in box office returns.

Are we embarressed by it? Ashamed by it? Do we think it will fuel more votes for Nader? (it seems like this latter point may be the most important, as Nader is the only true anti-war candidate). In fact, I still think that Disney is the mastermind behind the F911 backlash.

Disney knew that if they just released the film and made their modest proft, it wouldn't make much of a ripple. By rejecting the film, they created a furor with it, forcing the anti-Bush movement so far to the left that they alienanted all of the Clinton-Republicans and Clinton/Centrist democrats who are happy that Hussein is out of power.

Give Disney a little credit here. They duped us all.
