I just wanted to get F 9/11 back on the discussion boards.
No really, the second viewing - Tuesday night, maybe 40 people there, subdued, some chuckles, and a bit of applause at end. 1st viewing - opening night, full house, lots of reactions, everyone applauded at the end.
Personally, the second viewing was to review what I saw the first time but Moore packed so much in this movie that I wasn't always sure what was up next even the 2nd time around. He did put together a nice package. And the scenes with the Flint Mother of dead soldier still choked me up.
First time I went with three other yellow dog Dems - my son, my sister, and brother-in-law. It was definitely preaching to the choir - we ate it all up and were thrilled to see it on the silver screen. I took my wife this time. She is from the South, a closet Dem, not outspoken, usually disinterested in national or international affairs, not at all active in politics. Well, just after the movie she didn't say a word - and she is the talker in the family. So I kept quiet too - didn't want to sway her opinion one way or the other but then she let loose. She was mad as Hell and disgusted with Bush for being such an imbecile and we (the US) letting him get elected. She was mad at her repuke friends (we live in suburbia) because they are so ignorant to what's going on. She was mad at the media for being such repuke shills. She was mad at America.
At the end of the movie after the credits roll Moore puts up a little promo:

I think my wife is going to do something.
