Fahrenheit 9/11 in Victoria, Texas

Much to the surprise of many of the denizens of Victoria, Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 did make it to the local theaters, displacing Harry Potter III
 
The wife and I went to a 10pm showing on a Thursday night.  The seance was not packed but we were 11 to sit through the entire film in relative calm.  Other than the wife and me, everyone else in the theatre was in the early 20's and didn't look particularly pre-disposed to being peaceniks, liberals or even anti-Bush. 
 
My take on the movie: probably eye-opening for most folk but mostly a rehash for folks like me who have been following this material for some time.  Not that it isn't important, even well-edited, but that it wasn't startling.  It is mostly scary to think that this material may be, for some, startling, which has more to do with the current media situation in the US than anything else.
