Poll question: Have you seen "SICKO"? Most theatres not playing?

I finally saw it -- great movie, ultra-important subject, speaks primarily about health care but also about Congress & Bush being bought by lobbyists, and highlights how irrational and lopsided the propaganda is against the French social structure in the US.

I like how he is attempting to wake up a sleeping American sense of concern for others.

But the independent film theatre where I usually go has been bought out,and I had to go out of my way to a theatre I don't usually go to in order to see it.

1. I saw it at the local art-house

where all his movies have played. The big mainstream theaters don't show documentaries, generally.

2. I don't know if I can go see it. Someone posted the question

here "What was the saddest movie you've ever seen?" My response was "'Fahrenheit 9/11'-but I didn't know it at the time."

3. Those of you that haven't seen it even though it's playing

at your usual theater, shame on you. The movie could be a momentum shift to finally get a modern delivery system of healthcare to the citizens of this country.

5. Luckily, I was able to see it at my usual theatre.

Albeit I only noticed a couple of other places where it was playing in the whole central Florida area.

6. It's only playing at the local restaurant movie theatre

Because they're independent, they often show movies that the chain theatres don't. I haven't seen it.

7. I saw it, but it wasn't at my usual theater, however, it's playing there now.

When it opened, the closest it was playing to me was at a theater about 20 miles away.

I plan on seeing it again.

8. It was playing in Miami, Florida, and this is the epicenter of fascist GOP Cuban mega-zillionaires

If it was playing here, it ought to be playing everywhere!
