"Like butter on a hot muffin."

Yeah, so I didn't post anything more last night. Wanna make something of it? Instead, I played Zelda. I didn't intend to play for more than twenty or thirty minutes. I ended up playing for more than two hours. It ain't 'alf bad. There. That's my review.

I saw Bowling for Columbine the other night - finally! - and aside from Michael Moore's somewhat suspect journalism (his films are more like essays than documentaries - he's making a point, arguing a personal theory, and he's not unwilling to manipulate the facts to reach foregone conclusions), it's very, very good. On one level, despite the subject, it's just supremely entertaining, and funny. On another level, it's an extremely important and topical look at violence in America, and the film raises a number of very interesting issues - especially regarding USA's culture of fear. There's a very powerful sequence about halfway through, where security camera recordings of Columbine high-school are accompanied by phone-calls made to 911 that same morning. Moore's films are often more about the director and his political convictions than about his subjects, and as such they can be a bit self-indulgent, especially if you don't happen to agree with him. I do, most of the time, and so I liked it. You might not.  ¶ 13:29
