this is getting quickly uninteresting...just like most of everybody's arguments who try to attack moore's work and/or his personality.
BUT!!!!!!influx...
just so i don't appear as some little aloof stuck-up-bitch and i usually at least try to give you the attention you seek and no-doubt deserve:
almost everything in this world costs money.
perhaps with the exception of air and love.....
if you want something...you pay for it.
this is also true of information> even though you expect moore to give his away
to you and the world> for free.
it's not exactly like he lives in a vacuum.
film costs money....developer costs money....these huge lawyer expenses and his agents which must help negotiate these distribution deals etc.
i'm sure he needs shelter clothes food and gas like the rest of us also.
gas costs money and i don't hear you complaining about paying buku dollar$
FOR THAT>
besides the fact that practically every bit of information michael has regarding what
FARANHEIT 911 demonstrates is already out there.
he's already shared it.....via interview...the internet or book or magaizine.
he's discussed it and he has repeated it several times.
if you were at all interested in the actuality of things....you'd know this.
the one thing he is charging YOU money for_starting june 25th (be there)
is the price of what it costs to walk in to see the actual movie> even if he said he wanted the movie to be free i doubt the distributors and theater-chains would quite go along with that.
they have to pay for ticket-sellers....ticket-takers...ushers and people who must clean-up...projectionists....electricity etc.
what you get in return...from my interpretation....is a filmic-experience in which he strings together in most dramatic-fashion.....
a story which is everything shakespeare would choose to portray today.
homer.
mark twain.
faust.
studs terkel gore vidal and all of our fathers who died for this place>
everyone getting in line and saying this is how we do this.
stop for just a minute brother.
this is STILL america.
damn the torpedoes....a little information is coming to town tonight....and we mean downtown.
for whatever reason this is winning him kudos, praise, and total passionate commitment from many corners of the world (i won't even "bore" you with the list)...
it's obviously pretty important to a lot of people more numerous and possibly even more creative than you.
you can scream from on your front lawn to stop this crap> but influx....
it ain't going to stop.
now you don't have to pay the 8 or 10 bucks if you don't want.
and you can protest from on high.
but do so realizing this.....
you're presently looking silly from where i'm sitting.
please find some better ways of spending your energy than trying to tear down
a guy who isn't sending you to war.
a guy who isn't costing you billions in tax-dollars as america and the world becomes less-safe by the day.
and a guy who'd give you a free ticket "in" if he though you could quit your whining for about 2 hours while everyone else
tries to find out WHAT IT IS that
bush-family-america doesn't want you to know about
our president...george w. bush.
there's something to this...you know.
moore has invited gwb to a private screening at the president's convenience ...btw..as you probably already know.
what would you do if you were bush?
accept?
or just cry and plan something predictably dirty?
but alas...
it's weird to me how you seem unable to grasp such simple things sometimes.
or just simply refuse to.
oh well~
sorry to be a bore.
