In other film news, Michael Moore is appealing the Motion Picture Association’s decision to rate his new film Fahrenheit 9/11 R because it contains “violent and disturbing images and for language.” The president of Lions Gate Film responded to the decision by saying “Frankly, I don’t consider any of the images in the film any more disturbing than what we have all seen on the cable news networks and the gratuitous violence that fills the screen of so many PG-13-rated action pictures.” Moore said “It is sadly very possible that many 15- and 16-year-olds will be asked and recruited to serve in Iraq in the next couple of years. If they are old enough to be recruited and capable of being in combat and risking their lives, they certainly deserve the right to see what is going on in Iraq.” The film opens across the nation a week from Friday.
