So I finally saw F 9-11 today and quite frankly it made me profoundly uncomfortable.
I suppose I think it is a very worthwhile project with lots of interesting information but it also ran very long to me and although I know its a very serious discussion was nowhere near as fun as Moore's prior movies.
To me there was nothing as funny for instance as Charleston Heston .. ie Mr. NRA 2004 agreeing to do an interview at his house with Moore (Bowling for Columbine) .... or the Rabbit sellers and repo men of Roger and Me .. nor the Pure silliness of a book tour in "The Big One" ...
The fact that no senator agreed to censure the supreme court decision in Bush v. Gore is also very interesting.
I certainly think Fahrenheit 9-11 is good in that it makes Bush's life in November slightly harder but to me it was extremely difficult to watch seeming more like 3 hours then 2 .... So I will give it a ***- review ... cant quite say 23/4 or 27/8 stars ... I admired the movie but it was very difficult to watch.
I also finally saw "The Terminal" today and found it a joyous fun movie with an overly shortened conculsion. It was better then I expected by the reviews and quite a lot of fun... ***1/2 .....
Saw Spider-Man 2 on Sunday and think its great fun. I really liked the first movie and would give it ***1/2 but Spidey 2 is at it most interesting in many ways in how difficult it is to be Spiderman. Doc Ock is also a far more interesting and complete villian then Green Goblin I.
I think I will give Spider-Man 2 ***1/2 as well. Raimi is making the Spidey movies has proven to be the best super-hero director since Tim Burton.
I hope NYC alt music types go to and have fun at the Siren Music Festival at Coney Island on Saturday and at the myraid of other fun things going on.
Need to take it easier this weekend after the honeymoon.
b good y'all .... ecq

you see an awful lot of films! I wish I could, but... I don't. No reason really. I dont know, i don't know if I want to see f9-11. BFC was informative, but got really really dull.
so if it is worse than that...
