    So you don't want us to watch the video.

    Did you watch them yourself?

    Why can't concerned Americans just spend $10 to see it at the theater? The producers put up $9 million for Moore to make this movie just so you can "report" how to rip them off?

    If you viewed it without paying for it, you've committed a crime. Deal.
    I've only viewed the Youtube clips and half the stuff on Youtube is copy-write protected and thus under your definition 'a crime', but whose going to prosecute web-surfers for clicking on a Youtube video, right?

    Why can't you just encourage people to pay and watch the movie or "report" when it it actually released?

    Showing clips on Youtube creates a buzz about the movie in the general public. Downloaders aren't ever going to pay anyway, and they don't download off sites that make you register to do so.

    Yeah, they're called trailers. Why not post links to those?

    So are you going to download this movie and never pay to see it?

    Nah, Moore rehashes the same ole' kamakazi techniques he's used in other movies, but this story needs to be told....

    Take the movie Knocked Up for instance. Making good money at theaters, but been available on the web since distribution...why? It's a good movie. Downloaders created a buzz, people are paying to go see it....

    So, it's only a crime if you (can) get caught? I see.

    Nice moral compass there, Dan.

    , I'll condone it too. If Michael Moore's do entaries have any social merit or value, they should be free to the public. News as a money-making enterprise gets you things like Fox News and Fahrenheit 911.

    I intend to see it since it will likely be a topic of discussion but I'll be damned if I'm giving a penny to Michael Moore or the Weinsteins. When a do entary has the potential to spur a national dialogue that could impact our health care system, we're all movie critics. And movie critics get their copies for free.

    Yeah, I am wondering what kind of reaction the movie will get upon release. I remember seeing Fahrenheit 911 in Houston the day it opened and the movie got a standing ovation. I wonder if there will be a similar reaction for this movie.

    I agree the movie should be free so that everyone has the opportunity to see it. However, if the movie doesn't turn a profit, it makes it less likely that the studio will support similar movies in the future.

    That's a catch, but I've seen some damn good do entaries on PBS.

    I think the studio is an unnecessary middle man.

    I love the resident lib response, "Yeah, Michael Moore is a propagandist and a manipulator, but you should go see the movie because it will raise your awareness..."

    Then they get their placenta all out of place when anyone mentions O reilly.

    It got a standing ovation here when I saw F911 too. Didn't they air it on tv though? i'm not sure but i think they showed it on like nbc or something, of course this was after the theatrical release, but none the less.

According to Delay's office, Moore instigated the event but at first withheld a preview copy of SICKO and now has dropped out of the debate completely... Developing...


    Can't have the opposition preparing for the debate now, can we?
