Its just like conservatives listening to Rush, they hear what they want to hear, so they think it is great. Its not that complex of a concept. Can we agree to say it's difficult to evaluate the quality of a politically charged film?

QUOTE(mreye @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 10:27 AM) What is the issue? That we gave them their name? OK? There's still bad guys out there that want to kill us. How does this change that? Well the issue brought up by the film is that basically al-Qaeda has been invented to create a phantom enemy for Leo Strauss followers so they could keep and increase their power.

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 10:24 AM) I watched it and liked it because it made me laugh.. a lot. See right there!

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 10:23 AM) Of course it got rave reviews from people who watched it Most people who thought the movie would be a biased BS attack movie didn't watch it. How would they review a movie they didn't watch. The people who wanted it to be a good movie, watched it, and lo and behold loved it. So I should just accept it from people that didn't see it that it was bad, no f'n way.

QUOTE(sec159row2 @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 09:18 AM) implying that farenheit 9/11 is good ??? that's like saying bob and doug mackenzie were nobel laureates... Wow Republican supporters laughing off the issue. I'm flabbergasted Likeability of Moore aside Farenheit was generally viewed as a good movie. According to imdb 66% rated the movie as a 7/10 or better and according to rottentomatoes.com 84% positively reviewed the movie. But I guess they're all stupid liberals right? I'd be interested in hearing documentary favorites from Republicans.

No evidence that Iraq did or did not send WMD to Syria. http://www9.sbs.com.au/theworldnews/region...110402&region=6

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 12:27 AM) Who bombed the WTC and Pentagon? Oh, I guess our own government did it. Thanks. I'll pass. From what I know they were allegedly affiliated with al-Qaeda. Someone please help me out on this. I'm not saying al-Qaeda doesn't exist but that the so called World Wide network that people claim it has does not exist. Hell, according to this documentary before 9/11 Osama Bin Laden never called what he was doing Al-Qaeda. It is more of a term to generalize and create an enemy in the vein of communism. A new evil for which the great American nation can fight against, a feeling key to the followers of Leo Strauss otherwise known as the neo-conservatives. If you don't watch it you probably won't understand what I'm saying.

Has there ever been anyone convicted of being a member of Al-Qaeda in the United States? I know there's never been anyone convicted of this in Britain. I'm asking because I just watched a documentary called The Power of Nightmares, which while encompassing a number of issues explains how Al-Qaeda is really a fantasy. But don't get your panties in a bunch, the documentary admits islamic radicalism is extremely dangerous to us. It's availble on torrentspy.com and if anyone is scared of breaking the law, Adam Curtis the director recently encouraged the download of his movie because it would never be available on dvd anyway. preview available here http://www.cbc.ca/passionateeye/powerofnightmares/ you can see the whole thing here in crappy quality http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/video1037.htm 10/10 better than Farenheit 9/11 by miles

Wow, got baseball in 18 questions.

I doubt Floyd will get 20 steals this season, so if there's really no one better than Sanchez...

Freel doesn't seem to be playing everyday.

So painful to watch.

Whoa good stuff from both Juggs and Cerb.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 25, 2005 -> 01:46 PM) The words "artistic" and "gangster pic" don't belong in the same sentance. The movie was boringly predictable and contrived in many parts. Maybe if you're thinking about movies like Scarface. But Road to Perdition didn't win Best Cinematography for nothing. Also you can't discount the artistic values of Ghost Dog, The Godfather, The Sopranos, Miller's Crossing, Gangster #1 etc. We'll have to disagree on this one.

My best bud used to live in Russia and would totally agree with Putin. It seems so puzzling, but then again most Russians think Gorbachev was a traitor. Weird place in the world.

When I say never would have heard about this, I mean the apology as basically no American media picked it up (from where I've looked). No!

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 25, 2005 -> 07:47 AM) I finally saw "Road to Perdition" this weekend. Yeah it was hard hitting and emotional, but I don't get what all of the hype was about. There was hype? If there was it was probably because it was Sam Mendes first movie after American Beauty. The rain scene where Hanks guns down everyone and then Newman was classic. Seen it a couple times and while it's a little boring there are very few gangster pics which compare, and artistically maybe none.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 25, 2005 -> 12:27 AM) How cheesy did it look? I mean if he made the majority of it on his computer i have my doubts... he also stars in it i believe. Well it looked like an independent film, but it didn't suffer because of it, and it definitely didn't look cheesy.

Whoa, thought she would have accomplised that already.

Really want to see this one. I saw Shaolin Soccer but it was bloody dubbed which sucked, but it was still very fun. Plus from what I've heard most like Kung Fu Hustle more than Shaolin Soccer. Also recommend Ong-Bak, supa-fly Muay-Thai action!

I watched this a couple a days after it came out on dvd. I enjoyed it very much even though I really didn't know what was going on . But seeing as it was a pretty short movie I could handle it. I wish I had listened to the commentary. Maybe that would have helped a little.

Back to the FutureSox message board?

The cow thing isn't a lie. And for proof, video, ex veterinarians statements. It's not 100% solid but nothing is. And isn't Foxnews supposed to reach the most Americans, he should be apologizing to them too. I'm a hypocrite on many things probably, but not this.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Apr 24, 2005 -> 09:44 AM) http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/World/2005/04/20/1005773-cp.html I am curious what you would like him to do? He said he was sorry publicly, and plans to repeat that apolgy if/when her is asked about it in the future (It is the very last line in the story). By admitting his mistake he has already done more than those asshats hit the Mad Cow disease. That's total bs, he's done nothing to make the errors he made public in the United States and none of you would eve know about this had I not posted it. And the mad cow thing was done by investigative reporters, that's what they do, they dig up stories. They're not about to and they're not going to apologize for anything, especially since they are probably right. This and the mad cow thing have nothing to do with each other.
