Is it a wide release? Will I be able to see it in Pittsburgh?

There's quite a few places around Pittsburgh where you can watch it.
...and amazingly, it's not playing in this area. Oh well.

Yea, there's 3 theaters within a 30 minute drive of where I live in PA (pretty deep suburb of Pittsburgh).

Fahrenheit 9/11: The Liberals' Passion of the Christ.
No, I won't see it, same way I didn't see the Passion.

Sure, if they're idiots. I figure most ppl can make up their own minds, meaning you already either hate Bush or hate Kerry less. Personally, I think this movie will just be a big liberal circle-jerk, no more.

I'll finally be home come this friday, and I live near Pittsburgh too so maybe I'll check it out. The Destinta in North Versailles is the closest to me probably, so that's probably going to be the winner. I really don't like Moore very much and "Dude, Where's my Country" really tended to piss me off, but I want to see this movie. I want to see why Bill O'Reilly, another jackass, decided that it equated Moore with Goebbels.

I think the thing most people are missing is that the only people who want to see this movie are people who already have a negative opinion of Bush's administration. Here and there, people whose viewpoints differ from Moore's will show up at theaters, but their presence will hardly make an impact on the viability of Bush's chances of a second term.
Also realize that most people in the United States don't care enough about the issue to drag themselves, in most cases, a long distance to -- once again, in most cases -- an overpriced theater where the only movies shown are of the independent and foreign sort. What you're getting with Fahrenheit 9/11 is a film that's preaching to the choir, and won't do much more.
And if initial opinions of the movie are anything to go by, that small group of Bush supporters who plan on seeing the movie will not care for what Moore has to say, as many of his points have been shot down a long time ago; we're getting a film version of events many have already heard.
So no, it won't. No matter how much Moore wishes it will change things, it won't.

Umm did you mean to quote someone else? Because my post had nothing to do with this. It was a joke about directors cuts, and a statement that I plan on seeing the film.
I certainly agree that the main audience will be those already disenchanted with the current administration, and I also doubt it is going to "change" too many minds. But that is not to say that it can't convince people into engage in more discource, or even get a few "apathetics" to vote.
so umm yeah...

Wow wow wow.
Saw it today in NYC at 12:30. The rest of the days shows were already sold out by the time we got to the theatre.
You know, it's a surprisingly restrained piece of work for Moore. Yes, there are antics and of course the film is made through the lense of his perspective. However, Bush and co. do a wonderful job of displaying their utter lack of care for the average American throughout.
I don't want to spoil too much, but I did in fact cry (as did most of the theatre), laugh and feel totally outraged. I think this movie could really sway swing voters. Moore smartly clipped it from being too extreme. This is a movie designed with a decidedly populist slant.
For those of us that are already anti-Bush, this film could inspire activism to ensure that he's out after this election. I spent my afternoon outlining a plan for a benefit rock show/ dance party to help the effort to vote the installed president out of office.

I saw parts of Bowling for Columbine and couldn't help but be annoyed at the manipulation of facts in it, so no, I will not be seeing this movie. I'm thinking about going to see either Dodgeball or the Terminal (most likely Dodgeball).
