Yes, it is that good. These are things that needed to be said in a film while they are all still relavent. The amazing thing about this is it was only shown in so many theaters. it topped the box office and wasn't shown in nearly as many theaters as any of the other movies shown this weekend. That means that many people wanted to see what he had to say. And yes, its edited in such as to further prove his point, but thats because he is a good filmmaker, and that is what you do when you make a documentary. but that doesn't make him wrong.

well duh... professor...opinion polls are skewed to illicit a certain response or range of responses w/in a given range. said range is set subjectively to paint it's sponser or principal in the best light even in the negative responses...statistical analysis of said numbers is even skewed.. no disrespect intended..but..i think more poeple than the .10 of the populace that calls conservative talk radio knew in their hearts that the bush/cheney morass of so called objective reality..and hey i'm watching the leaves wilt in the fire..it's mesmerizing..er..'operation enforced morality standards' and the morass that it created..the world ravaged with the plague of america's hypocrisy..and sociopathic almost genocidal indifferance of indigenous populations.. ...

most popular documentary. That's like saying the most painless dentist's visit, or most interesting math textbook.

saw it today. i don't like michael moore's style so much, but i still liked the documentary [if solely because it coincided with my own views]. its emotional side [which was rather heavy at parts], i believe, will appeal to the same fence-sitting people who were easily swayed into supporting the war by scare tactics and the like. so that's good i guess. i guess it's good that a ton of people are at least going out and [hopefully] giving the administration's actions a closer look.

Dentist office you say? Especially the sadistic forensic type who hides behind a benign avuncular facade? *fidgets in chair, forehead sheathed in seatle post grunge scarf (which needs to be washed and badly, sweat sheen and sickening viscuous sheen pretty much makes that point)and silently curses the insidious tobacco oligarchy that has cultivated and nurtured his dependancy on really pungent and acidic chewing toacco that delivers a really not so subtly narcotizing buzz and has left his gums quilted with sores of various sizes and states of supperating white and yellow matter and so but the fact that gum erosion and swath of supperating gum sores in various states of potential pre-cancersous leukophala lesions..that is he'd say early onset of leukophala lesions if he really could face that liklihood square on - you know squared jawed and implacably pragmatic like...but so he prefers to hide safely behind his having his dentist perfunctorily, that is visually and in no way examine directly with lab tests on excised tissue and render an irrevocable and inarguable evidense of said leukoplaka.this is distressing to him in a kind of distant and definately angst ameliorating cum denial kind of a way you betcha - the addicts addiction enabling respite from the real nitty gritty nuts and bolts consequences of said disgusting addiction coming home to roost and what not..and so but pre-cancerouse lesions notwithstanding he's tried..REALLY tried maybe 4 or 5 times in that radical renovation of an environment and even associations just bordering on 12 step religiosity and rabidity..you know not just really kicking the habit but in that impale it to a projectile and catapult it or something into some heretofore unexplored vector of space with the appropriate and attendant not one but two clenched fists raised in the air and assorted self-esteem eviscerating oaths and suggestions to oh by the way go and copulate with yourself...but you know in a really violent sodomy with a police truncheon kind of a way..virtuosically expectorating profanities with the proverbial "Old Salt at Sea" kind of authority and yet that HABIT has it's tentacles lodged malevolently deep in his stricken body's/souls bio-chemical meatus..and so he's been lucky his dentist says..and he wants to empirically convey to the good if not meddling and not motivated by an inordinate and exxagerated fee structure or the garish and gaping loop holes in the medi-caid/medicare compensation calculus and what not so but that the delivery and dose of his cherished narcotizing nicotine which it goes w/o saying is shunted directly to his CNS..and so that is why he really can't consider now at this lapsed stage contemplating that is separating himself from his cherished oral fixation and addiction..the not too dexterous dentist opines sagely that yes he's been extremely lucky even by really optimistic risk evaluation metrics over a specific time horizon - say 12 months or so would soberly conclude even w/o the excess jowl meat undulating and cellulitic and besides nauseating kind of emitting a sour olfactory echo and so but then even then..w/r/t the whole liklihood of those red and white lesions (which is why he's stop smiling mind you to spare anyone from THAT grisly and yet really efficatious cautionary plackard on the ravages of orally injested tobacco..unfiltered and unencumbered by paper and other chemicals..and not subject to statutorily enforced attenuations of any kind whatsoever of said orally injested tobacco..they don't even need to package it attractively or adorn the utilitarian circular casing with any sexually suggestive inducements or even claims or ANYTHING..chewing tobacco is what we're really talking about here..so..and so the subjects not smiling has caused his mentapausel mother a great deal of distress which in turn metastasizes to him being the recipient of HER distress and so he has to chew even more tobacco to deal with THAT but he's not conscious of those engines of consumption that trigger his tobacco injestion so...but the Dr. says it's a pretty safe bet that the risk quantification model here..that is if you know..you want to deal with nice insoluble, dense artifacts of analysis- that the whole risk quatification model w/r/t to onset and or exacerbation of pre-cancerous legions erupting..metastatsizing into legions that would be pretty clearly now presenting cancerous legions that are rearing back and really letting him have it in no uncertain terms..the key here..the not too dexterous or avuncular dentist continues..the key here is swift separation from the jaws of the dog that has bitten you..he nods sagely very satisfied with this bit of non-medical but nevertheless what he considers to be damned sound advice..he also opines with a bit of professional pique (and why not dammit, he's entitled to after all of the modestly compensated and refraining from exploiting gapholes in said subjects dental compensation plan..hours of laboring in this boys tobacco ravaged mouth and inhaling his rancid breath that aside from the obvious aesthetic disfigurements he thinks his labors really constitute some sort of voluntary compensation from subject out of his very pocket for the dentist..the flaccid and gaseous and leering dentist who harbors vivid fantsies of doing really not nice things to his 24 year old dental hygenist and every patient of his whose starting to display secondary sex characteristics..the leering potentially sex offender dentist is kept chaste by the life his profession affords him and his stolid lutheran consciense and the badgering of HIS mentapausal wife and his 77 year old and quite still shrill but beloved in a grudging kind of way mother..goes on to sagely opine that hiding behind the illusory comfort of perfunctory and inattentive not to mention incomplete visual examinations and not having yet (to the best of his knowledge)having developed any indicia of leukophala - and that continued exposure to said risk in the short and long term would be dire - that's right he actually used the term DIRE and the smart thing to do would be to again remove his ass from the mouth of the dog that bit you..in those in no way uncertain terms is how he put it..and to quit while you're ahead son..and any bipedal of unremarkable intelligence and at least a rudimentary comprehension of the metrics of risk assesment would fall in and play ball he said using the quote 'fall in line' and 'play ball' with considerable professional pique...* aside from all of that..the whole issue of whether to be a really ambivalent agnostic or agressively interogative atheist really kind of eludes him because of all the oral and soul asphysiation issues... I'm speaking about Hal of course 040228 ... you know what? this blather pretty clearly does not belong here..m'bad to anyone and everyone who conscientiously and contextually contributed to this page...i don't know what happens.. ...
