Did you see "Farenheight 911"?
yes

Did you see it more than once?
no

Did you like it?
Define "like". I'd volunteer that I admired his skill as a filmmaker, especially in that particular art form. Art isn't about documenting; a painting is not a photograph. Art is interpretation of a subject in a way that conveys essential truth beyond the ability of simple documentation. Moore did a powerful job conveying the essential truth about George W. Bush. Parody serves a similar purpose.

Did you feel it was accurate and objective?
See previous answer.

Do you think the term documentary is accurate for that movie?
See answer #3

Did you ever criticize this film on the habitablezone?
No

Have you ever criticized MM on these boards prior to the last month?
not to my recollection

What is it you dislike about MM?
Nothing comes to mind. Seems like an amiable fellow, and exhibits a sense of humor in his work. He seems like the sort of person you'd suspect it'd be fun to hang with and have a few beers.

Of course conservatives and independents are welcome to weigh in as well. Wouldn't want to restrict freedom of speech like some people.
Could you please clarify that last question?
