Originally posted by Chewbacca: Cerek- I recommend seeing BFC- even if you hate Moore. At the worst you may find yourself not thinking *totally* negative of the film even in light of some of the harsher opinions people have offered and at best you will feel totally vindicated in your opinion of him and the film. Either way- seeing it for oyurself is the only way to really make firm your perspective and see if the hype about the film- both pro and con lives up. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Another very good friend of mine (who also happens to be a Bush-hating liberal atheist ) told me the same thing almost a year ago. He made the same point, that even if I don't agree with Moore personally, he does raise some good issues.

And if I am going to continue attacking Moore's directorial ethics, I should at least watch the film I'm criticizing. So I will watch it sometime, although WHEN that will be is another question. I only rent movies about once every other month, so it isn't like I have a great deal of spare time. Still, I will add Bowling For Columbine to the list of movies I need to pick up and see sometime soon.
