Bowling for Coumbine

Davey · 18th June 2003, 08:41 PM

Just finished watching it...

Awesome awesome piece of film making. Funny, touching, tragic, shocking ... probably the best documentary you're ever likely to see. I actually had a tear in my eye at one point (K-Mart scene).. and i havent cried watchin anythin on telly since Doink beat up Crush with a fake cast on WWF superstars in December 1992!

Seriously though.. check it out.. and check out how fucked up america is

Moore is a talented guy, i'll be sure to check it oot D!!!

If you like that cat i suggest you check out some of Bill Bryson's travel diaries from the USA. A little gentler but just as poingant!!!

There was a book of Bowling for Columbine?
I thought it was a great film
Do you mean Stupid White Men?

fuckin amazing film, i`ve jusr re-read "downsize this" and im almost done "stupid white men" , both also brilliant.
my only fear is that even after seeing and reading all the evidence that America is fucked, the people will still not bother their asses to get involved

i think the fact that the same year the KKK was banned in america the NRA was formed is a bit suspicious.

the cartoon history of america was fuckin hilarious!

Its fantastic but needs to be taken with a pinch of salt. He edited scenes to make the people seem bad and answer things they hadnt. The figures for numbers of homicide deaths were from different years for each country and in some cases appear to be made up.
