I argued with someone about Moore on another BB when Columbine came out on DVD. I won't do it again because it's not going to change anyone's mind, but I will try and explain to others, like Bambi why you feel this way.This other guy directed me to a website (I wish I still had the URL, but I don't) that explained dozens of continuity discrepancies in BFC that show that Heston didn't actually make that speech in Denver right after the shootings and several other things. Facts is facts, Heston didn't change his tie in mid speech, did he?
Now, here's the difference. People like the guy that argued with me for days on end and JonL want to just throw the baby out with the bathwater. Yeah, Moore may have used a few "artistic License" moments in BFC, but, the facts remain solid through 90% of the film. Jon thinks that if 10% of the film is manipulated, then 100% must be and that just isn't the case. The overall "big picture" content of BFC was right on the mark.
Can't wait to see F911.
