  • As much as I loved Columbine (I'll still get the DVD), this guy makes some good points. Maybe not a documentary, per se, but at least it gets you thinkin'...and people actually saw it

  • Your favorite band sucks, and you have terrible taste in movies.

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>It had some good points. The interviews were excellent, and the message of a country built around fear hits dead on. (On that note, I need to buy/read Hunter Thompson's Kingdom of Fear.)</div>

When you present a movie as a documentary, but manipulate the information like that, you lose the audience's trust. When you lose their trust, it doesn't matter what you have to say - they're not listening.</div>
