"Fog of War" a no show
Why isn't the "Fog of War," the highly acclaimed movies about American war history, widely shown. In Wisconsin I could find it only two locations. What is the reason for closeting this fine film and pumping "Passion" like Steroid Arnold on Meth.

1. It is a documentary
Moore's Bowling for Coulumbine was the number one selling documentary and it only played on a few screens. At least in Alabama it did.

6. Thank you. . . . .
but George Orewell wrote it in his novel 1984. Great book, a must read.

4. Coming to home video
May 11th.

Limited theatrical release of this film is no different than that of other films in it's genre.

"The Passion" would have been just as invisible if not for the hype.

I hope Michael Moore's 9/11 movie gets as much hype and is available at the mulitplex.

7. I just saw it yesterday near Yale in New Haven at an arthouse
theater. Well worth the 40 minute ride...
