Bowling for Columbine
« on: August 23, 2003, 04:19:51 PM »
Somewhat expected a total anti-gun slant. It wasn't. It was more about how the media protrays our lives here in America that perpetuates an atmosphere of fear which our politicians and corporations help feed into and profit from.
It wasn't a great documentary, wasn't a bad one either.

I think he could have left out all the Lockheed-Martin stuff. He had enough material without including that.

Other than that, it was a worthy documentary - deserving of its Oscar.

It was laughable.

I attended elementary school with Eric Harris.  Can't say I remember him though.  I might rent it sometime because one of my friends told me that part of that movie doccuments a bit of the small town in Michigan that I grew up in.  I guess I will do so despite having to sit through a few hours of BS to see it.

I was at the vid store last night and actually picked it up (B4C)and read the back cover.  Theres just nothing there that would be of any new value to me.  Plus, like al franken,  moore is a complete moron in the way he projects himself.

Next...............

Except.....

Half of it was fiction.  Can YOU tell which half?  It wasn't a documentary - it was an editorial.

I'm still waiting for Roger and Me II, The SUV.

Unlike the original, in this one Michael Moore questions why car companies can put out cars people want all for the sake of some piddle factory in a nowhere town.
