Yeah, that rabbit always seems to steal the spotlight. 😬

Michael Moore actually pointed out how weird it was that nobody seemed bothered by the fact that a Black man was killed on camera just a few minutes before that whole scene with the rabbit played out. 😁

By the way, I’ve gotta say, I think the lady with the rabbits is totally awesome. 😬

It isn't exactly a hilarious situation, but I guess man, 🤣 🤣 🤣

there are even French and German versions of this one out there!

Oh yeah, I've actually watched both versions... I guess the German one is probably the better pick... 👍

Maybe they should just air THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW! next Sunday, September 11th.
Actually, I just borrowed a copy from the local video rental shop and I'm kind of really enjoying it right now.
😬

So, why on earth did they move Fahrenheit?

Well, since everyone was saying The Day After Tomorrow would be Sunday, I guess I just went ahead and assumed... 😁

🤣

I think the plan was to release it this Sunday, which is The Day After Tomorrow... but let me double-check that. 😵

And then you've got Moore weighing in on it, acting like nobody even blinked at the fact that a Black man was murdered just a few minutes before that scene with the rabbit ever hit the screen. 😁

That’s honestly the most depressing part of this whole mess. Just imagine—she kills a rabbit... meanwhile, a man gets murdered, but oh well, I guess that happens every single day, right? 😢

The movie is actually quite good, honestly. I didn't sit through the whole thing because I had volleyball on, but even with that— 👍 👍 👍

Oh, please, give me a break...
I honestly can’t wrap my head around how many of you fell for that whole "stupid coincidence" theory regarding Fahrenheit 9/11 airing on September 11th.
It’s pretty obvious you aren't actually paying attention.
I mean, the attacks on the Twin Towers happened on September 11th, obviously, and 9/11 doesn't refer to November 9th—it's just how Americans write dates, putting the month first, so it's September The eleventh.
So cut the crap.
The issue isn't even about whether you understand our dating conventions (though that's a bit embarrassing), it's more about the fact that you don't seem to realize when one of the most significant events in history actually took place...
Honestly, props to ABC for airing the documentary. They aired it on the exact right date.

The attacks on the Twin Towers happened on September 11th—and obviously, 9/11 doesn't mean November 9th; Americans write dates this way, month first then day—September the eleventh.
So cut the crap.
It’s not even about whether you understand their date format (which is kind of irrelevant anyway), it’s more that you don't seem to realize when such a massive historical event actually took place...
Kudos to ABC for airing the documentary. On the actual anniversary.


😁
I wouldn't say people were wrong about what they meant to say—so there's no need to correct them—actually, I think you just misunderstood her. 😁

Anyway, it's a pretty good film. The part where they told Bush about both towers being hit was intense—seeing him just sitting there in that preschool, looking totally lost—was probably the craziest part for me. 😁😂

Either you're an incredible troll, or you're just incredibly dim.

I have to admit, I was expecting a bit more given all the massive hype surrounding this. I mean, look, it’s a decent enough movie, but when there's this much noise and constant chatter, you go in expecting something truly shocking—something completely unprecedented. Instead, the film just offers another perspective on the same old coin; nothing we didn't already know or at least strongly suspect.

We knew—but did the rest of America?

That’s really the question, though we all know they operate on a much lower level of awareness. 😁

Even back in kindergarten, I thought the whole Bush era was some kind of joke; I honestly couldn't wrap my head around how people could actually be that dense. 😂 😂 😂 😂

And right when he was declaring war, I genuinely assumed Michael Moore was just satirizing him. Those statements were absurd, all that talk about "liberating the world"—it makes you wonder who exactly they were planning to liberate. 🙄

After watching the film, I couldn't tell if all Americans are truly that clueless, or if he just caught the specific ones he was filming. If it’s the latter, 😁 where on earth do you even find people like that?
And the idea that it's all one massive corporation? The plot is more tangled than anything in an Agatha Christie novel. There's more shady maneuvering happening here than back home, yet somehow they haven't been busted yet.😬
I do have one critique, though. It's so painfully obvious that Moore can't stand Bush that it feels a bit forced. Even I, and I wasn't exactly a fan of his presidency, find his hatred over the top—it's like he'd happily build a wall out of him.
The other terrifying thing I noticed in "Hate Inc." is how much the media campaigns rely on fearmongering. Honestly, they're just scaring people with nonsense. Terrorists hiding in bathroom stalls or some killer apple riding a broomstick? It's ridiculous. How does the general public buy into this stuff? It's like they aren't thinking at all. Total zero for American journalists!

Honestly, they just throw random nonsense at us to trigger fear—terrorists lurking in toilets or some killer apple riding a broomstick. It’s ridiculous. How does the public swallow this stuff? It's like they aren't even thinking. A total failure on the part of American journalists!

But Moore uses a completely different tactic.
