Are you saying that they're all wrong?

Yes, because: The only people who consider his work documentary are left wing idiots and whackjobs.

Now, quit your trolling and go make dinner or something.

Oh - so all film critics are left wing nutjobs?

I had dinner a couple of hours ago. But... look at the time - just coming up to 23:05 in Limeyland - maybe I'll watch BfC.

Yes, he might start a war of aggression that will lead to tens of thousands of dead people.

PS: I wish I had some ilk.

Not all film critics rated it as a documentary or favorably. It's also been categorized as a comedy and a drama.

It's bigger than that. Everyone in the film industry are left wing nutjobs.

Rather than Websters, I think I'll trust a filmaker's opinion on what constitutes a documentary film.

Quote

“As I am a documentary maker myself, I can tell you that already in the pre-production of a documentary, a message or argument is defined as an objective for the documentary. Usually this message will be chosen to reflect a point of view that is not commonly represented in the media picture, and aim the camera at aspects of a conflict few tend to consider. This way the documentary is meant to spark debate around the issues, and make its audience think deeper and become more reflected. It is because of the objective defined in pre-production documentaries are so different from news genres, which are supposed to not judge but merely report. Documentaries are not built to be this open allowing for individual conclusions, but rather to challenge narrow-mindedness among its audience so they will not merely follow the opinion of the general public. This way the documentary can challenge prejudices in a way news media can not.”

Who did? Bush? I mean if you ask the Iraqis, over 95% of them are glad the Americans stopped Hussein from continuing his muderous regime. I mean, if you are referring to Bush, you must feel that Hussein should still be in power? Is that what you mean?

I consider myself fairly moderate. I'm just to the left of you.

Well, like many left wing whackos, you lack the balls to admit you're a liberal. This continues to baffle me, but I stopped trying to understand liberals long ago. Ther is simply no way to use logic on them.

Heh.... For someone so against propaganda, I would love to see where he got that number from.

Maybe he only appreciates state sanctioned propaganda? I find it rather dry, myself.

Do your own research. Or you can simply deny it in order to justify leaving Hussein and his murderous henchmen in power.

And only rightwing idiots and wackjobs are soooo intent on defining it as something other than a documentary... you know why?

So it wouldn't win the Oscar for best Documentary.

Incredibly funny how the righty-tighties scorn the "hollyweirds" on one hand then try like heck to influence their vote with the other.

I challenge you or any of YOUR ILK to name a documentary that is not slanted or has completely factual content...

fire away punkin.
