Caught Fahrenheit 9/11 last night. Pretty amazing stuff. The most surreal thing was seeing a film like this in the same environment where we normally chow down on popcorn and cheer when Jean Grey shows signs of her inner Phoenix. I’m not educated enough to give you an educated opinion, so I won’t try. What I will say is that it’s powerful. There are bits that’ll come as a complete surprise (and not in a happy way) to many, but even those who’ve done their part to keep up with the real news will be a little taken aback at seeing it put forth this way. Some reviews I’ve read point to it as a mere shock piece, citing the images of gruesomely wounded Iraqis and whatnot — let me tell you, that wouldn’t even rank in my top ten in terms of the most assaulting moments. It’s bias, yes, but it’s the ultimate voicing of a sentiment shared by many, many people. The film’s point is to paint Bush as an asshole; if not, some will certainly leave the theater thinking he’s a buffoon. Moore makes points of varying validity; some you won’t agree with, others will have you embarrassed for having previously believed anything different. Though at times unfairly bias and skewed, some of Moore’s gathered factoids and clips simply can’t be argued against. If you erase the op parts and just view the purely documentary portion, you’re still left with some serious shit to think about. Moore’s mission wraps up without a solid smoking gun, but there’s more than enough here to sway a flighty opinion.

Nexus, I am not making any assumtions in my comment. It is a simple fact of demographics. I did not say that all democrats are poor idiots, or all republicans are rich genius, it is just a simple fact that the lesser fortunate tend to lean more toward the democratic side. I did not say that this is the way that it should be or, how I would like it to be, it just happens. Or at least that is how it was 7-8 years ago when I was taking courses on politics and government.
I did not mean to offend anyone, and apologize if I did.
Now who wants a puddin pop?
I do, I do, but Walmart didn’t have them last night.
