We recently saw Fahrenheit 9/11 with Ela and Arrin. I have to say that the movie was interesting and it was nice to know what Mike Moore was saying. I think that it is interesting that he is the ONLY one who is saying such things, our media has really let us down. I learned some new things, such as what Bush was doing when 9/11 happened, and why the response was slow. There could have been more fact and less bias in the film but all in all, it is a perspective that is different and fresh. Makes you think about the ethical character of the person/s in power in this country. It does bring out the point that people in power can more easily get questionable laws passed if the country is constantly in a psychological terrified state, rather than rational and calm.
We saw the new James bond movie, Casino Royale . It was totally awesome. Bond (played by Daniel Craig) was such a brash but charming character, his acting was very enjoyable. The new intro used mathematical functions (sine waves and fractals-I'm such a nerd), reminds me of Ian Gouldstone's Corollary animation . Jim really liked Night Watch , but I didn't go. Maybe I'll have to watch it soon, although it sounds scary. Clerks II at LSC, was gross but fun. Some unbelievable scenes. I want the hours of my life back from watching Beerfest . Ofcourse, we also did see Borat , which was fun, but less mindless. It was educational, NOT!
