It's becoming too tense here.

I do not like everything that Bush has done,.... but I will still vote for him over Kerry. Kerry lies a lot, and they are stupid lies that are easily found out to be false. ...

*cough* Weapons of Mass Destruction *cough*

*cough* in Syria *cough*

It is a subject that requires a lot of thought, but it shows that no one can provide a "whole picture", as I said.

That is not quite what I meant by my piece of criticism. I know Bush isn't giving the whole picture, and I know Moore isn't doing so. That's why I think it was wrong by Moore to say what he did.

If I were an American, I wouldn't want Bush's truth, or Moore's truth. I would want my own.



This is getting too philosophical. MORE BOTS!!!! 

In other words, Barcik, F911 is Michael Moore's truth, based upon his observations, relationship's with the world, and the content of his consciousness.

And Bush's words are his truth, based upon his own observations, relationship's with the world, and the content of his consciousness.

As for getting mad at President Bush and his administration for prisoner abuse in Iraq, yeah I admit there are some sick people in this world, but how can you blame the actions of soldiers on the leaders?

Even though he probably never knew about this (ignore all the stupid tabloid scoops), even if the soldiers did this without any orders from above, any commander is directly responsible for the actions of his soldiers. He should have known and prevented it.

But I just want to say, Barcik, why do you think Micheal Moore is such a liar? Have you researched his points or are you going off of a random website online that debunked his claims?

Did he edit his movie in his favour, sure. Did he out and out lie to persuade people to take up his point? I doubt it. Do other people out and out lie to persuade people to take up their point, yes. Is the best way to find out if Micheal Moore is lying doing the research yourself? Yes.

Did he lie? I believe not. Did he show people only what he wanted them to see? Yes. Did he manipulate stastics? Possibly. Did he, as he said, "give people the truth"? I doubt it. The truth is the whole picture, with all the minuses and pluses, pros and cons, good things and bad things, left-wing and right-wing. Both sides of the coin.

An Israeli leftist journalist, Ofer Shelah, wrote the following in an article where he described the American war in Iraq as Jihad:
"According to the details and explanations, I warn you that the things which will be brought up here describe, deliberately, only one side, maybe a few sides of America - which is a complicated thing, with plenty of sides and contradictions. But we are not here to understand the proceedings in Iraq through objective eyes, but to observe the historical and cultural aspects which had lead to the war. The other sides of the story, and they do exist, we shall put aside at the moment."
Shelah, a basketball analyst at his free time, is one of the few left-wing journalists I can read and respect. He does not consider himself to be better than the other side, and does not neglect its existence. Moore is so convinced that he and his views are better that he allows himself to criticize his 'enemy' for what he himself does. Disagreeing with the war? Fine. Creating art with an anti-war message? Fine. Patronize the other side and act like a hypocrite? Not fine.

We here are still waiting for the True King of the House of David who will build the Third Temple.

I know I am being petty, but this really annoyed me. After winning the Palm d'Or, Micheal Moore said: "There was a great Republican president who once said, if you just give the people the truth, the republicans, the Americans will be saved."

Is that what you do, Mr. Moore, with your selective choice of materials and half-truths? Give people the truth?

I wonder what he comes up with at the next Academy Awards ceremony.

Edit: Now that I kicked it up, NEW BOTS!!!

Congrat s Fliipper!

To expand on the question of whether Adam Sandler has talent for anything except stupid comedies, I imagine most of you heard that Quentin Tarantino casted him for a main role in his next movie, a WWII film named Inglorious Bastards. If there's one thing I trust, it is QT's casting.

A log of wood was originally considered for the role of Kevin Lomax in the Devil's Advocate.
Jeff Bridges was originally considered for the role in Monster.
Everybody except the banits in Time Bandits were played by giants.
The time it took to film the stargate scene in 2001 was shorter than its screentime.
In the Dream Team, Micheal Keaton plays Jack Nicholson.

[LGM]What?!?! You obviously haven't SEEN American Graffiti, Peter Thomas!!![/LGM]

Well, I didn't like it either! Huh! There you go!

Actually, Lucas isn't much of a director, and he hasn't gained his fame for that. Except for Star Wars and American Graffiti, all of his titles are unknown independant flicks. I haven't seen them myself, but on IMDB they all have roughly 20-30 votes and are average in rating. So, he has just done 4 movies we know, two of them shitty. Great?
What he really is is a big-shot producer. Here, he does know his way around.

Yeah, I heard Kubrick only found out about the 'connection' to IBM later.

"We are not talking retarded people here, but a couple who were brought up in a religious environment who were simply unaware, after eight years of marriage, of the physical requirements necessary to procreate."

The Bible does have its share of sex. Weird.

Speaking of which, there is no chance in hell a Jewish religious couple wouldn't know about sex. Of course, there is the divine law to multiply and fill the land (Don't know how it translates to English, the blessing to Man from Genesis 1). So, religious people here have plenty of children. In fact, I once came upon a document which explains to married religious couples how to perform this divine task, and it was hiliraious. So mechanical and silly. "Remove all holy books from the room", "Say this and that blessing", etc.

But Dart!! How can you say you hate teh Sandler? Have you seen Punch-Drunk Love yet??

Have you seen any other Sandler movie?

Apperantly, there is a scene in Kill Bill which is an original Tarantino creation.

Seems like you have plenty to write about... 

I generally dislike all actors and actresses who play the same role over and over again.

I didn't notice.Ã,  Oh well.

Ahem ahem...
