slacker uprising

[tmw]

The latest Michael Moore film (Slacker Uprising) is available for free downloading--at least for US and Canadian residents, sorry everyone else. It will give me something to watch, once the 1.34 GB download is complete.

Don't take this as my endorsement of the movie--Michael Moore has his clear faults and is a biased story teller. I am merely sharing this with others who might want it, and I hope everyone takes the movie with the fact it came from Michael Moore, not PBS. I haven't watched it yet.

I'm not sure why they are distributing this for free, but I had to give them my e-mail. Here was the message they sent me, with a link to the download:

I'll pass, and I personally don't consider PBS to be unbiased either.

I've found frontline to be quite good and unbiased. Most of the recent shows can be found online here:
