I am, but am also heeding Mom's warnings about potential violence. So far, showtimes have not yet been announced.

It's not being shown here, so I'll have to wait until there is an electronic release in like 4 or 6 months. Please do tell us about it when you see it!
I know MM and his films have flaws, but I credit him that his heart is in the right place. He wants what is best for the average Joe. And he knew this was coming, he's no dummy.

I look upon MM as part investigative journalist, part entertainer; it's not necessarily a 50/50 split all the time.

Sure, I like his documentaries.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

No plans.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

I'll get to it eventually.
Surprisingly, it is being shown in Baton Rouge. However, I have too much going on (work and preparing for vacation) to see it in the theater while it's here. Looks like a Redbox rental down the road. No matter. I don't need Moore to figure out how to vote in the midterms. That's been a no-brainer for a long time.

I think that MM will energize the left wing vote, as opposed to changing people's minds.

Moore will never top Roger and Me, in my opinion.
