The sad part is, a lot of the people who watch this trash will believe it's true. "Because, like, man, it won that award so it, like, HAS to be true. Right?" With enough creative editing you could make Billy Graham look like the antichrist.
I was talking to a co-worker who went to see 'Bowling for Columbine' way back when. He said he could see through the BS, the selective editing, etc. He's somewhat of a film afficianado and wanted to see what kind of a filmmaker Moore was, etc.
He did, however, show some concern that the friend he went to the movie with swallowed Moore's bilge hook, line and sinker. This buddy of his was college educated (I suppose that doesn't mean anything these days), but still bought Moore's line without any skepticism.
That's what really scares me about the absolute garbage that infects the media -- print, television, cable, and internet -- many, many people don't have the critical thinking skills necessary to filter out the crap. They soak it all up as gospel. I've personally seen otherwise rational and decent people turn into absolute zombies and start spouting MoveOn.org propaganda verbatim. It's gotten so bad that I truly believe that GW will have at least one assassination attempt on his life if he gets re-elected.
First of all these pot heads will sleep all day election day and won't even vote so who cares what they believe.
Secondly: We're going to have our own movie come out in late August / early September. It will debut at the GOP Convention. It will star Ronald Reagan, the man to whose legacy President George W. Bush is the heir apparent. At the conclusion of that film which will be viewed by millions more than Michael Moore's cheesy flick, I hope that The Prez says: "Let's win one more for the Gipper."
I doubt many people will watch this movie. And those who do will mainly be in California, NY and the New England states, which are not battleground states.
The film will not change minds, because those who watch it will be closed minded.
