yeah. and he could easily take over canada with a stick considering canadas almost non existant military force. a few months back when we accidentally killed like 10 of their soldiers, that was like 60% of their whole force.

hahaha ya pretty much.

I really liked this movie. Michael Moore really knows how to get his point across. The movie went from heart wrentching to very funny to serious. I believe that we should take a look at ourselves more closely and ask ourselves "what are the people of our country really trying to prove with our guns and war happy president?"

I SAW IT.. ITS EASILY ONE OF THE GREATEST FILMS EVER MADE.. IT MAKES US LOOK AT OUR SOCIETY AND OUR LIVES. THE MOVIE MAKES YOU EXAMINE THE UNITED STATES AND THE WORLD AT LARGE. ITS AN ESSENTIAL MOVIE FOR ANYONE IN THE U.S TO SEE. THE MOVIE RAISES SOME THOUGHT PROVOKING QUESTIONS..QUESTIONS THAT NEED TO BE ASKED

I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED BY THE INSIGHT THE FILM HAD.

I HAVE TO BUY THIS WHEN IT COMES OUT ON DVD.. IT WAS TRULY POWERFUL.

well one questions that needs to be asked is: whats with those upper hand letters here?

Moore has said that he is thinking about making a docu about Norway!

oh great, I hope he ask me a question

noo, It is supposed to be a sucsess, not a disgrace of Norwway...if you are interessted in reading more about this finti, check out www.filmmagasinet.no you will find it on the news!

Bowling for Columbine

Did you guys ever happened to see this one ? I really liked it. I though Charlton Heston and Dick Clark seemed like assholes here. Not many people like Michael Moore because of what he says and does, but he does have a point.

P.S. Marylin Manson looks and acts like a transvestite junkie but he seemed really smart on the interview, good answers.

ahh micheal moore a dick pensis hipocrit i wipe my bum with that video

I also enjoyed this movie, although it was blindedly one sided. but it makes a great point and raises good questions. very intriguing.

I thought it was okay, it had some thought-provoking and informative moments. However, I agree with BackFire, the movie was edited to reflect a certain viewpoint.

In defense of Dick Clark, I am sure strange people approach him all the time. He probably had no idea who Micheal Moore was. I did lose a lot of respect for Charlton Heston though.

...film looked so bad, it shouldn't have won best documentery because it wasn't one! There was a site made to illustrate this point-and yes probably those famous people looked like assholes because it was edited to seem that way. He manipulated that film so much in order to succeed in getting people to agree with him, what an *******. The site shows that many of the things these people said in interviews were actually not said in response to the topic at hand. Michael Moore sucks my ass

it was manipulated heavily to illistrate his point, this is true. but it still manages to make its point very well, by using some very interesting facts along with its editing manipulation. and trust me, charlton heston was truthfully shown, the interview in the end wasnt edited at all, hestons responses were borderline pathetic.

You can say all you want about Michael Moore but Charlton Heston's an ******* for going to Littleton and Flint to promote the NRA since both shootings were recent at the time.

I rented it this evening.

It wasn't as good as F. 9/11 and he really didn't do a good job explaining why America is as violent as it is.

The little cartoon and News coverage clips helped make the point that America is scared and would want to own guns, but he didn't really explain why we kill more people than other country.

But then again I dont think he even knows the answer.

The NRA were dicks for holding purposely holding conventions at the sight of the shootings, but I think MM was wrong for taking the photo of the little dead girl to Heston's house.

He didn't kill her. MM made it seem as if Heston was responsible.

Same thing with KMART. They didn't shoot those kids.
They're not responsible.

I'm very liberal, but people should be held responsible for killing each other, not guns or the NRA or KMART.

I want him to do a documentary on the relationship between china japan and south korea lol that would be hilarious

No one is trying to prove anything with guns. The question we really need to ask ourselves is: Why are we so afraid?

So we should just be ok with people blaming guns for human actions?

This film is not exactly a film on gun control. If you really pay attention to it you should come to the conclusion that guns are not the cause of our violent society. This is a documentary that exposes the culture of fear we live in. Though I do not agree with many of the points it brings, as they are tainted with bias, it does raise some interesting points on our society.
