We were two of a massive audience of six to see Fahrenheit 9/11 on Sunday evening - I doubt the movie was the reason for the small crowd, I think downtown Leavenworth just doesn't attract very many movie goers.
We both found the movie much less incendiary that we had expected after all of the hoopla. The connections - Bushes, Saudis, Halliburton, etc. - were not a big surprise. Trying to think of myself as a real Bush fan (really stretching to do that), I can come up with some emotional and cinematic criticisms for the movie but still can't see any major reason to get so excited. In fact, I think there are many Bush fans out there who would view the Saudi connection as very positive - their view would be that the Bushes are protecting our sources of oil and they don't think beyond to the ramifications of the Saudi support of Bush et. al. over the years.
Of course, the shots showing Bush at his oratorical best are wonderful - the last one is priceless!

It almost sounds as if you were writing a verbal teaser for the movie. If so, does this mean I should go see it? :)
