2. I don't know, I saw Farenhype looking lonely on the video shelf

and I thought I would give it a screening. It was very well made very slick with well presented arguments.
It was complete and utter bullshit of course. It was pretty convincing too, only I had already researched a lot of criticisms of Moore and had just watched farenheit 911 before I ever watched the movie so my bullshit radar was going off like a 5 alarm fire.
It was pretty obvious that the movie was made for people who would never actually watch farenheit 9-11, because they completely misrepresented what Michael Moore showed in his movie and didn't address some of the major questions F 9-11 brought up, like, why Condi and Colin were insisting that Iraq did NOT have weapons prior to Bush's election.
Maybe I'm a glutton for punishment, but sometimes I like to yell at the TV.

5. i assumed

hype was mostLy - "michaeL moore says the iraqi were happy and peacefuL.. he's a Liar"

[JAbuchan08]

6. Yeah that and "Michael Moore says the terrorist threat doesn't exist"

and Michael Moore "implies" that the terrorists were allowed to leave literally "hours after flights were resumed after 9-11" or maybe it was "hours after 9-11."
I was watching for that part specifically because I knew that a lot of people had made a big deal out of that and what I realized was that Michael Moore didn't "imply" anything except that maybe the government was in too much of a hurry to let the Saudis leave America. He didn't say that they left on the 12th or the 11th, he didn't make any comparisons to when Americans where allowed to fly again.
Basically my understanding was that if anyone was "implying" something that wasn't true it was Farenhype which was "implying" that Michael Moore lied.

3. Hmm

Any queasiness or ill affects after watching Hype ?

Which was more entertaining ?

What hell made you decide to do this ?

Are there ANY redeeming values to Hype ?
