Fahrenheit 9/11: Great Content That Needs a Good Editor

All shows of Fahrenheit 9/11 were sold out in my neighborhood yesterday. I was proud of my neighbors! In fact, even though we bought tickets in the morning and got there half an hour early, we had to sit in the fourth row. Nearly 3.5 million people nationwide saw the film over the weekend, making it the Number One documentary of all time.

The information in the film is powerful indeed, and it got a standing ovation from the audience I saw it with. But it was two freaking hours long! It would have been really great if Moore had edited it down to its essence ñ which would be about 45 riveting minutes.

I'm attending a MoveOn.Org house party tomorrow night -- one of more than 2,100 parties planned nationwide with well over 30,000 participants - which culminates with a national phone conference with Moore. Stay tuned.
