Fahrenheit 9/11

I figured I was pretty much the last person in the country with a desire to who would think of spending part of this afternoon watching Fahrenheit 9/11.

I was wrong.

I was fortunate to get a seat for the second showing of the day. All three screenings wound up being sold out. The film has its flaws, to be sure, but it's worth noting that it was the first occasion I can remember since I saw the original release of Star Wars almost three decades ago that, as the credits rolled, the audience gave the movie a standing ovation.
