I know where it is available on the internet.
I watched it, and the title reminded me of you. |

I got it off of Blueyoyo, and it is a good quality rip. There must be plenty of torrent sites with it. I really enjoyed the movie, France looks pretty good. |

I got it via TV Links/Google Video a few days ago. It's loads different than his previous movies. I think he's trying to be more mainstream. |

Fox news raved about it. Good raves. Fox news complemented Michael Moore? Holy sh(t, Bat-man. |

FYI, Michael Moore is going to be on Larry King next week.
What day? Wednesday - That's Thursday in Korea.
I just read this on the CNN site.
Might be a good show.
Larry King is on CNN here on weekdays at 6 pm. Due to time difference the shows are a day late. |

it actually incorporates the same formula he's used in every film and show he's ever made. he always manages to masterfully merge the issue/s with good hearted humor... its the only way you could make it through some of the disheartening subject matter... |

They're trying to go after him for going to Cuba. I guess that's one way to discredit the commie pinko "propaganda" in the movie (drugs that cost 5 cents in Cuba cost $120 in the US). |

More likely people who don't want him to make money leaked it out. |

Here's from a website:
Michael Moore's Sicko on Google Video: All "2 hr 4 min" of Moore's new documentary on the U.S. health care system has been up since Friday, with no provenance and a convenient download link, in case you'd rather not stream it.
Moore, speaking in 2004 about his earlier Fahrenheit 9/11:
"I don't agree with the copyright laws and I don't have a problem with people downloading the movie and sharing it with people. I make these books and movies and TV shows because I want things to change, so the more people that get to see them the better, so I'm happy when that happens. I think information and art, ideas should be shared."
In a bizarre twist -- this wouldn't be the Web without at least one bizarre twist -- a North Dakota blogger named Rob has also posted the video at the end of a rant headlined, "Calling Michael Moore�s Socialist Bluff", suggesting,
Moore�s movie, in fact, may as well be a campaign ad for Hillary and her endless drive for socialized medicine. All examples of how these liberals don�t respect the private property of the citizenry or the principles of personal responsibility.
Then he dares Moore to take it down:
Now I fully expect that I�ll probably get a letter or an email at some point from Moore�s people asking me to take this down. Which I will, because unlike Moore and most liberals I actually do respect things like copyright laws and property rights. But until they ask, I�m going to take Moore at his word. And if I am asked to take it down, I will be calling Moore a total hypocrite.
Readers in comments question his logic. Meanwhile, he's still hosting and spreading that Socialist's movie.

Saw it, and like his previous effort, it was nothing I didn't know already, but it would be useful to show grade 8's how their government is hell-bent on f*cking them up the a$$ every chance it gets. |

Saw it on the weekend. Yeah, France does look pretty good. Hmm. Glad I speak French. I think that's my next destination. |
