Completely OT : Cannes, Mickael Moore and the Iraq War

The point I was trying to make is that it is not semantics at all, in fact, it's the opposite. Words do have meaning (unless you're a hardcore deconstructionist, and there are probably very few of those on this forum I suspect) and by your words it really does appear that what you said was that you don't care about the movie, you care about Moore. Which is fine. Repeat: fine. BUT but to then take that statement as a condemnation of the movie is contrary to basic logic. Am I getting it wrong?

So, just to be snarky ( ) I'll repeat an earlier question: if "farhenheit 9/11" had been made by Rush Limbaugh but was otherwise exactly identical, would you go see it?

I guess the point your trying to make is that I should see the movie before commenting on it. I understand that POV however knowning the Man who made the movie allows me an insight into what the movie will have to say. I simply do not wish to suffor that kind of one sided arguement.

I have neither read or seen anything about this movie that would redeem it enough in my eyes for me to consider seeing it.

I am sorry, but that is how I honestly feel.

Edit
I did respond to your question. (OBTW good question too )

No I would not. Again it boils down to a one side view. I just want the full picture not someones subjective views on it who refuse to listen to or suffor counter opinions.
