Bottom line

Moore's movie made 22mil in 3 days, 3.5 millions people saw it.


thats pretty much all that counts in this country.


Bottom Line= everything, from the leader of the freee world to a documentary filmmaker, eh?


Roger and Me was good, i would watch it at first, GM pulling out of there really did devastate Flint, MI. and the documentary wasn't as much going after big business, but showing the effects of what happens when a major company sends its labor overseas, and pulls out. It ould be like GE and P&G pulling out of ohio, or the devastation caused by the mining industry relying more on imports, mostly as favors, in WEst Virginia.


people should actually try for first hand opinions on anything. when i have something to say, i go to the source, if i have an opinion on a movie, i go see it before forming it.

Reading second hand information and taking it as a whole, is what is wrong with the Media, if it is on TV, or in the media, it has to be true. This has led to an era of misinformation and unwholly formed opinions, when a quick reading of the document, or a viewing of the film would leave a citizen with a base opinion in order to gain perspective on the effects of such media.

It is almost as if Americans have given up on thinking, forming ther own opinions, and would rather have it spoon fed to them. They dont see the whole picture, Intent, and purpose are castaway like the footnotes of a book. left in, the probitive angel is easier to see, and what you would see for yourself could be compared to what is meant by the authr/write/director. and then perspective is gained.

Knee jerk is knee jerk, no matter which knee is jerking. its spin either way.
