Last weekend I finally saw Fahrenheit 9\/11. Now, I debated with myself for a long time (a week apparently) whether I should write a review or not. I think my review would probably be pointless since many people I know are just going to lambaste it without even seeing it based on the Republican talking points provided to\/by FoxNews. I agree that Moore\u2019s style isn\u2019t the most objective, but it was never intended to be. The ironic thing is that he never goes any farther than Bush does in his television and radio ad campaigns. Those of us who have to listen to clearchannel all day are used to hearing the truth stretched. In fact, it is ironic that Moore\u2019s film is being referred to as \u201cpropaganda\u201d while Bush\u2019s campaign ads are called \u201cmean spirited politics\u201d at the worst. Theaters refuse to run Moore\u2019s film, but no one is refusing to run Bush campaign ads portraying Kerry as nothing short of a communist family hating elitist. The sad thing is that all this film needed was a more respectable director at the helm for people to take it seriously. Moore takes reliable sources and puts his own spin on it until you can\u2019t tell what is fact and what is opinion anymore. The best moment in the film is the very last scene (clip) though. One that anyone who watches the Daily Show has seen before and I just can\u2019t get it out of my head no matter what I try.<\/p>\n
FoxNews will tell you everything Moore got wrong so you can hate Moore\/Kerry and vote for Bush, but they sure shy away from what Moore got right. I read several reviews and saw coverage on the news networks about the release of the movie..nowhere did I see any coverage of the parts of the film about the Oregon coast, the name\/s blacked out on Bush\u2019s newly released records, etc.<\/p>\n
Things are coming together for California. It appears now that I will live with Aaron in a two bedroom until Chi and Brian can head out. We are going to pay a company to find our apartment I guess. They say it usually takes 2-6 days to find a place for clients, and that is what I\/we need. I need to get an address soon so I can give it to the movers.<\/p>\n
I went to Marietta Friday and made sure I took some allergy medicine so I wouldn\u2019t get sick like last time. It worked\u2026but now I\u2019m sneezing all over the place after coming back to Columbus\u2026why?<\/p>\n
Amy is coming in to town Wednesday night, so I\u2019m looking forward to that. One of her Aussie friends thinks she looks like she is on drugs in the hotornot.com picture. After looking at it again I can sort of see that because in one of the parts she has her eyes halfway closed\u2026but that is a bit of a stretch in my opinion. Leave me some comments with what y\u2019all think, does she look stoned, or no?<\/p>\n
Why is it that any white chick with blonde hair and a famous relative gets to be a pop star now? Now we even have to listen to Hulk Hogan\u2019s daughter.. I watched a few minutes of Ashley Simpson\u2019s tv show and I wanted to vomit. She was complaining to her dad about having to sing her \u201csingle\u201d in the studio like I would have complained about taking out the trash. I know some real musicians up in Akron that are in debt because of the money they spent recording their last album, and it is a great album not just a single. The Simpson family has the right to spend their money however they want, but it seems pretty arrogant of them to try to get America to tune in and watch that little brat complain about how \u201chard\u201d it is to sing her (guaranteed by the record company) hit single, exhausting an endless supply of money paying for the best studio with the best producers and (pop) songwriters. I felt sorry for the backing band that they hired and had to play her \u201cfirst live performance\u201d with her. Those guys in her \u201cband\u201d have probably spent their whole (young) lives working really hard to get where they are. I would bet a lot of those guys studied music in college or a conservatory\u2026only to end up being paid a fraction of what that teenager will make. I\u2019m sure there are thousands of talented Americans out there with great songs that we\u2019ll never hear, because they aren\u2019t related to someone famous.<\/p>\n
Anyone who knows me knows that I could go on forever and ever about the evil that Tommy Mattola, Richard Branson, Zach Horowitz, and their peers have unleashed upon the world in the past decade. Better stop now before I give myself a headache.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
