Marc Perkel Rantz: Download Fahrenheit 9/11 Here

Perfect for that World Series party. Play this movie before or after. I haven’t seen it. I’ll wait until it’s on HDTV.

And here is the AUDIO ONLY FEED for running on an MP3 device if you are really really bored.

    Only 59? Less than one per minute?

    Moore is such a slacker.

    For the record – I haven’t seen it.

    I didn’t much like F9/11. I’m not a big fan of Moore’s movies, mosty because of his narrative style. But, oddly, I really like the guy and he has a great cameo in “The Corporation”. My criticism of F9/11 is that it goes for cheap shots and tells a mere sliver of the story. I also acknowledge that Moore understands McLuhan (“the medium is the message”) and does a much better job than I ever could. If it helps any, my girlfriend really liked the film. I think because most of the material was new stuff for her (and many others). Like other popular cultural phenomenon, F9/11 is one of those “must see” movies, if for no other reason than to have a common point of reference for further discussions.

    [Aside: the author of the F9/11 debunking site must be smoking crack.]

    Other current documentaries I’ve seen are “The Corporation”, “The Hunting of the President”, and “Fog of War”.

    The first, “The Corporation”, is standard kneejerk liberal reaction to corporate rule (fascism) and globalization. Judging be the audience’s reaction, most of the info was new stuff. The takeaway point is that everything went to shit when the Supreme Court ruled that corporations are legally persons and so entitled to protection under Article 14 of the The Constitution. That’s a decision that needs to be rescinded. I was disappointed that sound economic ideas were panned, such as trading pollution credits and internalizing stuff that’s current externalised (pollution, envirnmental degradation).

    “The Hunting of the President” is the documentary version of Conason and Lyon’s book. It’s disjointed and poorly told. The best part of the DVD was the bonus footage of Clinton from the film’s premiere. It succinctly nails the core issues of this time. His optimism is a wonder to behold.

    “The Fog of War” is an incredible documentary, a great story told very well. I encourage everyone to see this film. McNamara comes clean on a lot of issues and shares the lessons he’s learned. Too bad we’re not listening.

    Documentaries that are on my “to see” list are “The Control Room” and “The Battle of Algiers”. I may see “Going Upriver”.
