I’ve heard of at least three low-rent movies that are marketed as sort of the “anti Farenheight 9/11” (a movie I haven’t seen, and a movie I’m not sure if I should see.]

One is a haliography of Bush focusing on his faith… honey for the right-wing evangelicals. The website to it offers a person who, quote-in-quote, “mistakenly purchased Farenhight 9/11”, can turn that one in for this one.

The second one had a spurt of activists trying to get it into a theater as “counter-programming” to Moore’s film. A batch of happy “Morning in America” images, entitled something like “America’s Heart and Soul”. The only image I saw of the film is of somebody who looks like Larry Bird pushing a retarded child who happens to be bound by a wheelchair… devoid of context, you imagine he’s pushing him right down a hill into a gutter. For their part, the directors disassociated themselves from this marketing push, saying the film was not in any way partisan.

The third film… Fox News is flogging right now based on some second or third rate actor who supposedly is having a hard time in Hollywood after appearing in this movie. “Farenhype 9/11″… “exposes Bill Clinton’s weakness”, “shows that Michael Moore is a douchebag”, and “shows George W Bush’s steadfast resolve in the face of terrorism”. It has the virtue of being, at least from what I know, of being a direct response, as opposed to the one that showed Larry Bird throwing a wheelchair-bound retard down a hill.
