ARGUMENT FROM GUITAR MASTERY
(1) Eric Clapton is God.
(2) Therefore, God exists.
I think Hope and Crosby suffered from that as well....
Take care all.
I just got back from the movie, and I thought it was pretty good myself, though I am definitely anti-Bush. And while some facts are inflated, some things are too real to ignore, such as (SPOILER)the scenes in which they show dead Iraqi citizens, children especially, being carted off by trucks while other Iraqi citizens scream at the US for causing it, or showing some of the treatment of the prisoners by the US soldiers and having some of them speak of their mindset when fighting.

Well Mr. Moore doesn't like it being called a documentary either. He thinks it should be an opinion piece also but Hollywood classifies it as documentary. Opinion piece would be a sub genre of documentary just like Serial Killer movies are a sub genre of Horror Movies(which might be a sub genre of action or suspense...I really don't know).Originally Posted by Cid
I saw this movie and it was pretty good. For all the twisting of facts in the last movie it was much harder this time around as things like new broadcasts and senete floor stuff or things with bush on camera can't really be twisted that much. Why would Bush be on camera willing for a movie that is going to make him look really stupid?
I am sure some of the things are cut short or edited to get his opinion across but it wasn't so obvious with this movie. There is a lot less of him talking and being on screen as most everything that is really bad towards Bush and his admin is what they said.
Overall I thought it was pretty funny.
There was a lot that was just generally anti-war though, some of the scenes were particularily good, if disgusting, as I pointed out in my prior post.
Just remembered this one...
If you haven't seen it how can you call it a pathetic excuse for a documentary, especially when it really isn't one? Granted, a lot of it I know you probably won't like, but dismissing something before you've seen it isn't the most admirable thing in the world.I can't comment on this movie because I haven't seen it yet, but I absolutely refuse to give that pathetic excuse for a documentarian any of my money. Besides, if I saw it and spoke my mind about it here, I'd probably just get dismissed as a "rabid conservative," since that seems to be the case here with anyone holding a dissenting opinion
I'm not calling it a pathetic excuse of a documentary, I'm calling Moore a pathetic excuse for a documentarian. I refuse to give him any of my money.

I'd love to see that movie but I don't think that my dad wants to waste money seeing president Bush and I don't have any friend that hates Bush!
But I'd love to see it beaxause
I hate you Bush!
Absolutely right. Well said, my friend.Originally Posted by The Captain
"The most important and recognize player in the history of the country."
Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.
Michael Moore does, indeed, use facts. It's the way the facts are presented that leaves the viewer with the wrong impression. That makes him dangerous.
This is a perfect example of his technique:
Would you put this player on your team?
These are statistics I pulled off of MLB.com.
This player has been in Major League Baseball since 1988. He is such a miserable failure that he has played on five different teams. Part of the reason he has bounced around so much is the fact he fails to get on base 86.9% of the time. He strikes out almost 50% of the time he steps to the plate. He has NEVER stolen a base. In sixteen years of playing professional baseball, he has hit one, and only one, homerun and a pawdry 32 RBI's.
Why do we pay to see this guy play?!
Anyone pick up on my point? Bonus points if you can tell me the player.

Just because he doesnt blindly support the government doesnt make him unpatriotic. He may love this country very deeply. Of course, this is currently the way to decredit and demoralize people on the other side, to brand them as unpatriotic. How lame. Even if he is unpatriotic, who cares?
And XviviX, you explained that very well. Lots of people do that, and Moore is one of them. The facts are there, they're just presented in his way, just as any conservative would do.
