Default Moore's movie reviewed by a liberal - 06-23-2004, 08:04 AM
[url:6b076]http://slate.msn.com/id/2102723/[/url:6b076]

an excerpt:

"To describe this film as dishonest and demagogic would almost be to promote those terms to the level of respectability. To describe this film as a piece of crap would be to run the risk of a discourse that would never again rise above the excremental. To describe it as an exercise in facile crowd-pleasing would be too obvious. Fahrenheit 9/11 is a sinister exercise in moral frivolity, crudely disguised as an exercise in seriousness. It is also a spectacle of abject political cowardice masking itself as a demonstration of "dissenting" bravery. "



Christopher Hitchens

There ya go...a liberal journalist who trashed Reagan ("Not even a Hedgehog: the Stupidity of Ronald Reagan") cannot even stomach Moore

Hitchens is a cock. I wouldn't pay any attention to him.

Here's a crazy idea: see it for yourself and come to your own conclusions
instead of taking his as proof of Moore's incompetence/manipulation: of
course, this presupposes that you're capable of doing so. Perhaps veiled
personal opinions presented through another person to avoid responsibility
and attacks on your being ?

Ex-fucking-actly.

I'll see the movie and make my own conclusions. I say that about any movie that comes out.

Roger Ebert is going to tell me what to spend $10.50 on at the theatre? I don't fucking think so.

"I walk up the bar and say 'Hey! Gimme a couple of Budweisers.'"

"I can't do that."

"Why?"

"Because this isn't a bar."

"Oh really what is it?"

"This is a micro-brewery."

"Oh really, asshole. Well, why don't you go into the back and MICROBREW me up a batch of fucking Budweiser, ok, because this is America and I am very THIRSTY! Pull up your PANTS!"

It's sad when you people hate a man because he has a different opinion as you.

If this man did the exact same fucking thing but with right extremist views you would all be praising the guy.

It's healthy to have a counter-balance for Moore's views...as funny as I find them.

I just think it's wrong to judge a man you've never met. I wonder how this dudes movie will do.

True.

I think it'll do alright. He'll make his money back, anyway. Nothing near Moore's film, though.

I really liked "Bowling For Columbine".

Did it change my view of America? Well, no.

Did I get a large popcorn and enjoy the fuck out of it? Hells yeah. I even got the sumbitch refilled to bring home. biggrin:

It's a movie. Even though it's a documentary, it's still a movie; skewed and altered according to the whim of the director.
