I'm going to the movies......

I'm lazy and usually I wait for stuff to come out on DVD before I'll watch it. But I'm going to see Fahrenheit 9/11 tonight. In part, because I'm really looking forward to it. But also because the message needs to get through to the blockheads that are doing everything in their power to censor Michael Moore: Censorship is un-American and if you try to censor somebody, you will just garner sympathy for them.
Anyway, alot of liberals are running around doing what we do best, which is handicap people who are effective at getting our message out. For awhile, it seemed like people were racing to disclaim Moore first. Well, the real bad guys have shown their faces, what with the censorship attempts that reach all the way to death threats doled out to theater owners and blatant lying by the right wing punditry. But I can see what some people might be reluctant to go see the movie. Moore is a blowhard, badly dressed, and dramatic, certainly not the polite, pulled-together Bill Moyers liberals that many would rather see. But you should see the movie anyway, so I compiled a list of reasons to go see it.

Top Ten Reasons to See Fahrenheit 9/11 and Soon

10) Because Ray Bradbury is being an ass.
9) Because even if some of the info in it is suspicious, most of it is true. How can you separate the blatant truths from the fudges if you don't see it? And believe me, with all the conservatives running around claiming that it's wall-to-wall fiction, you're going to want to know how much of it is the indisputable truth.
8) Because you know you're gonna laugh.
7) Because of the now infamous 7 minute children's book sequence. I haven't seen it, but my guess is that it will remind you of what you were doing in those 7 minutes and it will bring home how incompetent Bush is. I remember what I was doing. I spent it on the phone, calling everyone I could think of in a panic while my hair was wet on one side and dry on the other.
6) Because it will be fun sitting in a roomful of people who are also angry about everything that's gone on since then and realize that you are far from alone.
5) Because you can return to your somber, wonkish analysis afterwards.
4) Because, I hear, there's footage that has rarely, if ever, been seen.
3) Because Quentin Taratino and Roger Ebert liked it, and I really think neither of them are that easy to sway with partisanship.
2) Because it will be a way to give the finger to the media's hand-wringing over "balance" which has allowed conservatives an opportunity to dominate.
1) Because money talks and if this movie kills at the box office due to a stampede of determined liberals, Hollywood will listen. And the movie will get wider distribution and start pulling in people who know little to nothing about the dirty politics of BushCo post-9/11, if just for curiousity and nothing else.
