Yeah, I liked the film. However I did think some of the editing was a little contrived to make the arguments more one sided, and make the interviewees look stupid. I'm sure some of the convos must have been cut..
Also, an extremely low flying helicopter flew over my flat the other day. I thought we were being bombed/earthquaked/attacked by a giant monster it was so loud. I wouldn't have been surprised if it had taken the top of our lovely green building away with it.
I'd like to think that the contrived editing was self-conscious and, in a way, disarming of any pretense at seriousness on Bill's part. He does say, after all, many times that he doesn't know the answer himself. Also, I think we all know by now the arguments from the other side by heart!
Kevin thought like you, saying that there should have been more moderate figures included. I wished instead we had got more footage of wacko cults and of Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah's couch!
Chez Ollie hahah - You remind me of my brother. He was Violinist living in Boys Town in Chicago. He was quite articulate and a bit humorous. But all your antics and life style is similar. Yeah, I think Bill Maher is quite clever and can be very disarming and humors. Sometimes he's annoying bu over the pas few years he seems to have sharpened his tongue. Of course over the past 8 years there's been a crazy cloud wafting about the landscape like the evil genii of confusion. I haven't been to a movie in a long time. Well have some fun with your new albums. I've been listenning to the Ting Tings, Yuki Kajiura, Indonesian Gamelan bands, Robert Stanley and some Jazz... there is a song I want to identify it's on the Slide website. It's the number one song. http://www.slidesf.com/ - then proceed to the slide website. Song one, if you know what it is let me know bro - thanks!
