First of all, I don’t believe there has ever been a documentary that has had such an impact on world politics, or (more importantly in Hollywood terms) made so much money. So…taking that into consideration, do you think there will be a problem with getting Part II into 8,000 theaters on opening day? Do you really think there is not 49% of the US who will not gladly plunk down their bucks to see the next Moore take of the Bush regime? And you are right - it is only a matter of time until the film is turned into a Broadway, huge hit musical…and again, almost half of the US will be happy to stand in line to see it. Moore would be a fool NOT to make a sequel. Can’t wait to see the boxoffice on that, both domestic and foreign. ---

There is no doubt he will do something else. He ought to. He should. He will. I just question why he would cheapen his masterwork. Wouldn’t ANY MM docupic get on eight thousand screens on opening day? ---

> [@RikWriter](#): > > What IS America other than the people in it? He hates the American people, hates the government, hates the economic system…what the hell does he like, the freaking SCENERY? Ladies and gentlemen, the American majority. I’m not surprised Moore’s making a sequel, in fact I kind of expected him to make another film about Bushco. I doubt it will have the same impact as the first film, since I don’t think there’ll be any major event in the next few years that’s of the same magnitude as the WTC attacks. I’m not a big fan of his, not because of the politics, but because of his style. I do wonder what the people attacking his credibility are citing as their proof. Though F9/11 is definitely “spun” a certain way, there’s nothing in it that’s factually incorrect. It’s been fact-checked pretty heavily. ---

It’s been debunked pretty heavily you mean. There is hardly anything in it that is factually correct and presented in a non-deceptive manner. ---

The debunkers have been debunked, **RikWriter.** The facts still stand, despite how many times you ignore them. ---

> [@rjung](#): > > The debunkers have been debunked, **RikWriter.** The facts still stand, despite how many times you ignore them. No, the debunkers have only been debunked in the mind of those who buy Mickey Moore’s spin. The facts stand and Moore is the one who ignores them. ---

If Moore is making a sequel, he should title it _ **Fahrenheit 9/12** _. After all, 12 is the new 11. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/michael-moore-plans-to-make-fahrenheit-9-11-sequal/274350.md?page=3)
