From the preface to his excellent Slate review: "In 20 years of writing about film, no movie has ever tied me up in knots the way Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 (Lions Gate) has. It delighted me; it disgusted me. I celebrate it; I lament it. I'm sure of only one thing: that I don't trust anyoneópro or conówho doesn't feel a twinge of doubt about his or her responses. What follows might be broadly labeled as 'waffling,' but I hope, at least, that it is bold and decisive waffling."
Meanwhile, I was in NYC Wednesday afternoon and passed by a theater showing F9/11. Then I arrived at our place in DC just in time to watch the crowds and paparazzi for the "US Premiere" disperse from the theater across the street. Since then, I've seen references on the news to the film's "Premiere" in DC.
Somebody should write a book someday about a culture where the only reality is what people hear and see on TV.
