Via BoingBoing, Josh Tyler at Cinema Blend reports on a fascinating phenomena that occurred in a metroplex in Dallas/Ft. Worth. After an afternoon screening of SiCKO, strangers started talking in the bathrooms and hallways, finally all meeting up in a larger group in the lobby.

"The conversation stopped instantly as all eyes in this group of 30 or 40 people were now on him. “If we just see this and do nothing about it,” he said, “then what’s the point? Something has to change.” There was silence, then the redneck’s wife started calling for email addresses. Suddenly everyone was scribbling down everyone else’s email, promising to get together and do something… though no one seemed to know quite what. It was as if I’d just stepped into the world’s most bizarre protest rally, except instead of hippies the group was comprised of men and women of every age, skin color, income, and walk of life coming together on something that had shaken them deeply, and to the core."

And people wonder why some of us have issues with the massive distortions in Michael Moore's films?
