When normal people, as opposed to Hitchens, see 9/11 their evaluations are the same. Sullivan was bored and Matt Labash thought it so ridiculous he couldn't take notes because of the hailstorm of conspiracy theories hurled unendingly from the screen. He called it "an offal-laden (that's shit laden for you high school drop outs) piece of junk." National Review weighs in without even seeing the movie (nice job guys, and Left Leaning Slate socks it to him with a series of rifle shots:

This is not quite a documentary—which I define, very loosely, as a work in which the director begins by turning on the camera and allowing the reality to speak for itself, aware of its complexities, contradictions, and multitudes. You are with Moore, or you are a war criminal. The film is part prosecutorial brief and part (as A.O. Scott has noted) rabid editorial cartoon: a blend of insight, outrage, and sniggering innuendo, the whole package threaded (and tied in a bow) with cheap shots, some of them voiced by Moore, some created in the editing room by intercutting stilted images from old movies. Moore is largely off-screen (no pun intended), but as narrator he's always there, sneering and tsk-tsking.

I speak here as somebody who has edited or assitant edited five or so movies. There is something called "The Language of Film". By this is meant that you never see what is actually there. Editing produces effects like people being hit over the head with chairs, punched in the face, and so on when what actually is on the film itself is a series of movements that result in you believing you have seen somebody punched in the face etc. With the employment of computers in editing the cuts become seamless. Moore is lying with the invisible cuts, and your brain has to be able to sift out fact from fiction, and in this pseudo doc there is almost no fact at all. There is something wrong with all of us who believe propagandist junk put out by either Left or Right. The Nazi broad (Riefenstahl) did a documentary and then cut it up so that it became propaganda too. It will make a lot of money because it cost next to nothing (according to the liar Moore). And if you want Brown Shirts be sure you read this, if you didn't link it from Drudge yesterday. The Brown Shirts are not only on college campuses, but also among the crowd outside of 9/11. No real news there but plenty of hypocrisy, character revelation, and what we all know about the hard Left.
