for anybody that's interested in learning about the gun culture/culture of fear that so many people in the states experience, GO CHECK OUT THIS FILM!! i saw it this afternoon, and came away feeling incredibly moved. it was the scariest and saddest film i've ever seen.. there are so many incredible sequences in it. michael moore is a pure genius, and should be rewarded time and time again for his work.

I've heard very very good things about it; do you know where I could get it? I don't expect to find it in Blockbuster.

it definately looks interesting. completely screwed up, but real at the same time. weird. yeah, a movie that actualy heas something valid to say is fairly rare, an dthis looks like one of them.

it has had limited release in theatres so far.. so if it doesn't come to a theatre near u (which it should), i'm sure it'll be out on video sometime in the new year. if u can't see bowling for columbine, there are always moore's other films - the big one, roger & me, and of course - canadian bacon.

Michael Moore is the most important American filmaker making movies right now. See everything he has made. Right now, we need this kind of movie. tell your friends, please.

he made canadian bacon?, wow news to me. but hes is an amazing author and producer. the opening scene where he gets the free gun from the bank and then ammo while hes getting his hair cut at the barber shop is priceless. the movie plays at the art cinemas. its not a famous players type of movie, but there is a movement on in the states to ban the NC17 rating and actual maybe make it a video you watch in school. its really good.
sacrifice, to some its just a word, to others it is a code, what matters is the colony, he is willing to live for the colony, fight for the colony, die for the colony.
