Moore or Less

    I saw the new movie Fahrenheit 9/11 this morning, before work. What a crock of shit! Listen, I know there’s such a thing as suspension of disbelief, but this movie is unbelievable. I can live with The Matrix, where guys are able to evade bullets with just the power of their mind, but there’s no freaking way you can get me to believe in the “alternate reality” of Michael Moore’s new science fiction film. He actually expects us to believe that the America of this “not too distant future” would be dumb enough to elect as a President a man barely able to string three words together. Let alone they’d be duped into blindly backing a fullfledged all-out war with some enemy to be determined later. I applaud Moore’s use of videotape to give the film a kind of cinema verité look, but despite his efforts to make the movie appear like a documentary there’s no way anyone could be fooled into thinking these events could ever actually take place. I have more faith in my fellow countrymen than to think they could ever be led by such bumbling comic book villains as this President Bush and his badly written gang of evil minions. Mr. Moore, the moviegoing public deserve better from you than such a ridiculous story as this. In short, save your money and just read 1984.
