w0w...I would have maybe suspected a torrent to come out soon, or something...but streaming on the web?

I'd rather wait and see it in the theaters than on that little tiny screen.

*EDIT* Hah, looks like it didn't last very long...

“Sicko,” Michael Moore’s new documentary about America’s healthcare system, was too hot for quarantine, landing on YouTube for a weekend of free rides before the lawyers stepped in.

The movie is still available on file-sharing Web sites like Piratebay.com, where the movie popped up at least one week before today, and 18 days before its slated release.

I'm going to go show my support at the theater.

The link is already broken anyhow... I'm sure they have a team on it.

There is already torrents available to download the whole movie. Michael Moore said he does not care if it is pirated, he just wants the message to get out.

I personally think Michael Moore is a loony asshole, who is as bad as Fox News when it comes to spin. But I intend to see the movie, to give it a fair review, though I certainly won't spend money on it.

He is not as bad as Fox News. Micheal Moore is a film maker, while on the other hand Fox News claims to be an unbiased source of information and news. And incidentally Moore's films are perhaps more informational than the lies and tabloid crap you get on the mainstream media anymore.

Anyway, I've heard good reviews of this film from both the left and the right.

I agree, The fact that Fox claims to be fair makes them worse. Moore, never claims to be fair as far as I know. I also agree that he can be good at shedding light on a given subject, but he is very shady and underhanded in his film-making methods.

I like much of what Michael Moore has to say, but I take it with whole mound of salt and a side of cooked peas.

Besided, you shouldn't need Michael Moore to tell you that the health care system in this country is completely monkey-fucked.

We need some form of public health care.

End of story.
