6/25    Just saw F9/11. Pretty disappointing. I'm quite upset that it won
        Cannes. It had some humourous moments, but other than "Bush sucks"
        didn't have a thesis or strong underlying theme. I don't think it'll
        help Busy get unseated in any way. The music seemed to stand out more
        than the movie.--liberal dem.
        \_ Am I supposed to get enlightened by The Birth of A Nation or
           Triumph of the Will?  Well, no, but that does not mean they are
           not first-rate films.  I doubt F9/11 is because MM's prevous work
           seemed stupid to me, regardless of politics.  But in the age of Rush
           and Fox, F9/11 is a natural and necessary response in an
           escalating media arms race.
           \_ Did you watch F9/11? The concept of the "necessary and natural"
              response is a good one, I just don't think it was that effective.
              I think his other movies (R&M, B4C) were better/funnier/more
              effective.
