FYI, it's a 4000+ MB file, so it'll be a long download for some (like me on DSL). Obviously people still on dial-up shouldn't even attempt to get it or they'll still be downloading it long after the official full release of the film.

I do think you should be more careful with the use of the word "literally." Think about it. Didn't you mean "figuratively?"

I am also interested in what house you are referring to. Your own shack, or what?
I find it amazing that your during your college education you were able to cast aside the shackles of liberal indoctrination. You should be very, very proud. What's your alma mater?

You guys need to calm down. It's an idiom.
bring the house down:
if someone or something brings the house down during a play or show, they make the people watching it laugh or clap very loudly. The clown sang a duet with the talking horse, which brought the house down every night.
See also: bring, down, house
Cambridge International Dictionary of Idioms © Cambridge University Press 1998
bring the house down
to entertain people very successfully, so that they laugh or clap for a long time.

I, unlike brave Kevin, was unable to go through college without being brainwashed by liberals. You aren't even safe with a hard science major - there is some serious bias, from biology to electrical engineering to zoology. Liberals, all of em.
As far as "bringing the house down" - that really should be reserved for the Isley Brothers, Chaka Kahn or Stevie Wonder. Not some crap documentary with a crap premise.

Hoggster, quit being so obtuse. It's the "quite literally" part that we're making fun of. I would expect my friends to ridicule me endlessly if I said something like that. And why do you care anyway? We all know that Jay is a big boy and perfectly capable of defending himself.
I'm still curious as to what "house" was "literally" brought down. You'd think we would have heard about that in the news. I guess it's just part of the vast left-wing conspiracy...

Why does D-Hoggs care anyway? Apparently you cared enough to defend the comments of another. Aren't they perfectly capable of defending themselves? Or is this a new one-sided rule?

I consider this a petty or cheap attempt to avoid addressing of liberal indoctrination as documented by David Horowitz. Ward Churchill and Columbia are two prime examples of this type of indoctrination going on campuses. Looks like the indoctrination seems to work on jp2 and LT. Just see how college-educated liberal Obama supporters!

OK, self-loathing fake Neil Bush, to make you happy, so here it is again. Given that I need to go to college to learn how to write English properly, then it shows how "dumb" the college-educated liberals are. They cannot even deal with facts and logic ("change" and "hope" is enough for them). I don't claim to be nuance or sophisticated or good at English. Just a common sense guy. So looks like you prove my point again that liberal indoctrination has been successful on you. Also prove Oyster 's point about pettiness.

Please don't point out that I'm not the real Neil Bush. I want people to think that I'm really GWB Jr.'s smarter brother, and that I have nothing better to do than troll blogs.
As for logic, I don't know about anyone else but the only logic courses I took were in college. And you might not want to mention David Horowitz in the context of anything other than perhaps a list of the stupidest, most spiteful academic failures in American history.
