Old news, I know, but "Bowling For Columbine" came out today
Edited on Tue Aug-19-03 10:44 PM by bearded_cat
on dvd, and I was transfixed. Flip it over and watch the extras, and you almost wish he was running for President. Emotional moments, but a lot of interesting things to think about. I'm a democrat, but I could hear what he was saying about listening to your conscience.

Not trying to get a green vs. dem thing going here, but he had some great expressive thoughts, and this was the first time I was able to see it.

I give it five stars. (out of five)

edit: two little letters

1. Thanks for the rec
I'm interested in seeing it; liked Roger & Me, which is the only MM film I've seen. Why would it cause a green v. dem issue? I'm not too informed re this, but wasn't there some controversy about MM using footage that was staged, but purported to be live action, or something like that?

And no, I'm not MM (nor do I know him or anyone around him)...this is just one great movie!)

6. I watched MM being interviewed earlier today and
understand this is not "old news..." as you put it, because he added a bit about his Academy Award remarks which sounded very important to me, so thanks for posting this new good information about the dvd. Anyone who hasn't seen it must see it. Really!
