Wow. It’s rather funny to see people that have never read one of his books, or seen any of his movies or shows, go off like this.

Tell you what. go watch sicko, and the entire “awful truth” series, then tell me he doesn’t care.

He’s doing his part, he jump started the fucking 9/11 truth movement. He talked about the stolen elections before it was popular.

go complain somewhere else, where ever bill O’reilly tells you really.

does anyone else see why he falls short? Because he has a fucking reputation, and he’s not willing to stake that on unfounded conspiracy jumbo.

Loose Change final cut? how about the other cuts, full of lies and misinformation. did they retract or apologize for that in final cut? Nope, they just pretended it never happened.

Moore does good, and if you are too dumbed down by faux news to see that for yourself, I feel bad for you.

David Icke is fucking insane. So I should go listen to everything he says as fact, except the alien lizard shapeshifters? Seriously, google the guy, and tell me you’re going to believe anything that fat asshole has to say.

Take a shower Icke, you see lizards because you are a dirty fucking lunatic.

just watched it. i’m normally a fan but i’m not surprised this was given away free. It looked really cheap, was pretty dull in parts and the volume was disgustingly all over the place.

Kinda Sad really…

shows you there was a huge “change” movement in 2004, which I remember. And nothing got done.

BTW< I am a HUGE Michael Moore Fan. but this is his WORST film ever.

I rate it a D+

All it is 99 mins of him in the spotlight, making speeches, preaching to the choir. Its like watching endless speeches and people you don’t care about drone on.

Its disturbing how the media did a which hunt on him, and you can see that.

Torrent Fahrenheit 9/11 if you want to get pissed off again.

But its hilarious, the haters here never even saw one of his films, and only listen to corporate media, or Neo con right wing radio.

To my Europeans brothers and sister, please help spread this abroad. as in I, a Enlisted man in the US army, will NEVER see this, for they have banned his films.

Moore is good. He fights a good cause.
Unfortunately the movie was clearly aimed and high schhol and college kids with no attention span but a heavy lust for rebellion.
There are much better film makers out there that present more facts and go deeper behind the truths then moore does but they are not as funny (but neither is the subject).
Try loose chain final cut, zeitgeist or anything by David Icke (except that lizard crap)…then you will see the bigger picture that moore is failing to uncover.

“All they have to do is talk about considering possibly maybe selling off their American dollar reserves sometime and your economy will die.”

The U.S. could always sell off all Chinese American based assests, jack the profits and cut them off from ever buying there again. (And China’s economy would fall apart, because they’ve invested too heavily)

This isn’t something the crazy left likes to talk about though.

“Its amazing that another country like China doesnt just come over here and stomp us out.. we would fall over like a domino. Kill our economy (Which right now a fart would blow it down) and watch pathetic US grovel in its own muck.. without even 1 gun shot fired.”

All they have to do is talk about considering possibly maybe selling off their American dollar reserves sometime and your economy will die.

I’m going to check out this movie. I liked Sicko. Sure, it’s probably another “Let’s pretend Democrats are different than Republicans, let’s pretend they didn’t vote to occupy Iraq and let’s pretend they aren’t still voting to continue the occupation” thing, but oh well. He’s a good filmmaker.

As someone who has worked with Moore’s legal counsel, I can tell you he really doesn’t give a fuck what lawyers tell him, he’s going to do what he wants regardless.

Anyone who knows what a proxy is can easily just walk around the whole site.

Even if you don’t…. type in proxy into google and then the url of moore’s site into the proxy website’s search bar and it’ll let you navigate the page, masking where you’re from.

I think Moore knows how to play on people’s feelings pretty well. whether or not it has any real effect is debatable but I don’t see much ill intention in his documentaries. I’m happy to be corrected if anyone does think the man has any other goal than self-reputation and the aims of his documentaries though.

I recall another movie being released as free, over torrent (and other means) It’s called Star Wreck, great film, better than anything that MM has ever or ever will come out with.

Hollywood doesn’t hand out money to people who are trying to change the system. Why would they do that? Hollywood and Washington work hand in hand. Don’t believe me? Explain how an aluminum plane can fly through a steel building without the use of special effects.

Anyone who thinks Michael Moore is some revolutionary or renegade is an idiot. I can’t believe how naive some of you are. CNN regularly has Michael Moore on their channel. Did you know that the jews never have anyone on TV that they haven’t pre-screened and checked out beforehand? Does that not make sense anyway? Michael Moore is part of the system, he’s just another distraction for all of you. He’s another Alex Jones for you all to rally behind so you can feel like you are doing something, without actually doing something. Wise up people. The only way you’ll ever have real change or real freedom, is if you take it BY FORCE.

ive decided that the since all these smucks dont care about anything but money and bend to any large companies bribes and threats.. that I will never vote.

Voting is for people who actuley think the US isnt pathetic. THE US is a pathetic country.. most people here are ignorant.. retarded.. fat.. assholes and dumbasses.

Voting for ‘the other guy’ does nothing to help the problem, not voting at all will change things IMO.. because without votes they will hopefully just cease to exist.. yeah right.

it really doesnt matter.. you can have wishfull thinking all you want, the truth is we have no control..

nothing will ever change.

Money rules the US, morals are a thing of the past..

Im buying guns and im gonna live my life however I want untill they all fall apart. Wont be long now.

Its amazing that another country like China doesnt just come over here and stomp us out.. we would fall over like a domino. Kill our economy (Which right now a fart would blow it down) and watch pathetic US grovel in its own muck.. without even 1 gun shot fired.

This is a great step forwards for the movie industry and you’re NOT giving a very positive feel.

Come on TorrentFreak, instead of snickering at the misfortune/lack of knowledge possesed by these movie creators/studios, maybe a more positive look on the whole situation?

I for one commend them for making this move freely available to download (regardless of the country) – it’s a step towards the future.

Actually, I just used Hotspot Shield to attain a US IP-Address (same method to watch Hulu outside the US) and then find the torrent link. After that, you can shut off Hotspot Shield and it will download fine.

Geographic restrictions: another reason why P2P is a good thing, and why the copyright regime is bad. P2P allows access for everyone, and disallows controlling availability. People need to have things freely available, not restricted to certain areas, etc.

What’s the point of limiting the torrent to US and Canada only? I don’t understand it. The only thing that comes to mind is the fact that these distribution and film companies are control freaks. Kind of lame since a director usually wants as many people as possible to see their films, with an added emphasis on the free movies especially.
