BigWill, your arguments give a lot of credit to the attention span and intelligence of the general population. As a teacher, aren't you reminded every day of this? Sometimes you have to beat someone over the head with information before they aven begin to get it.

Interesting comments. I don't have much to say, but I'd like to point out that nothing should be automatically taken at face value. If you go to see this film and come out of the theater, buttery hands and all, and think you saw 'truth', then you need to wake up. In an interview with Peter Rose Moore explained that if nothing else, he wanted people, of all political spectrums, to see the movie and cause conversation and debate. That, I think, is the most intelligent thing I've heard Mr. Moore say. I'll see this movie, and decide, but his last movie was waaay too cheesy for me. There were so many stretches in that one.
To comment on the idea of why he should use movie-making as a venue for his propoganda, why not? To point out - in the beginnings of this thread people were talking about movie to music ratio, and people are saying they own hundreds of movies. This country is all about entertainment. What better way to 'reach' the public than through movies?
On another note, I did hear from a review on Ebert and Roeper that someone is coming out with a movie that rips on Roger Moore. I'll definitely be seeing that one too.
Oh, and a personal thought: I think Mr. Moore needs address his excesses too, and get on a diet. That man is always talking about responsibilities. In my mind, his views may carry more weight if he weren't so obese. That's just my opinion.

Yeah, having thought about it, why not use movies to get across your message? I was wrong, oh well.
How could anybody rip Roger Moore? That man's a saint - he actually has been knighted, right?
Or did you mean Michael Moore? I'd like to be the one to "knight" him!

OK, come on. Rush Limbaugh is grossly obese by those standards, too. A man's weight has (should have?) nothing to do with his credibility. I think the fact that the dude has had a few more cookies than, say, me, is a slightly less significant alleged fact than the things he accuses the current administration of, be they accurate or simply his perception.

If you have seen Rush Limbaugh recently you would have noticed he is no longer overweight.That being said I use my Axioms 100% for music.

Rush must have changed his prescriptions to diet pills.

90% music and 10% movies. If you listen to more music
than movies I would get a NAD T series AV Receiver, they have great stereolike non-fatiguing sound with music and the power ratings are very underrated. I have compared them
with Denon,Onkyo,etc and musically they don't compare to the "NAD Sound".
