7/2 Why isn't Jackass:The Movie considered a documentary? All this talk
of F/911 being the first documentary to debut at #1 and being the
highest grossing feature length documentary.

writing <documentary evidence>

\_ Jackass sounds like a documentary to me then!
\_ F911 doesn't/
\_ By that logic, every movie is a documentary, since it documents
what the actors are doing.
\_ I'm assuming you haven't seen Jackass.
\_ If you can equate Jackass with F9/11, can I equate Hannity
and Rush with Bozo the Clown?
\_ Bad dodge! Btw, IMDB has Jackass down as a documentary
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0322802
\_ A bunch of retards on the Intarweb say it, it must be so!

\_ You're still being deliberately obtuse by
equating F9/11 with Jackass. No one mistakes
"Jackass" for a documentary, although apparently
that was the category a couple of websites decided
to stuff it into for lack of a better term.
F9/11 is a documentary about current events, like
it or not. It is based primarily on news footage
of real events. Jackass is completely staged.
Get real.
\_ I'm assuming you haven't seen F/911 either...
\_ Based is an interesting word in this case.
If only it was based on and presented facts,
then it would be a documentary.
\_ I haven't seen F911 yet, but I want to see it in a reasonably
conservative area. What's the most conservative place in the SFBA?
\_ I recommend Castro Valley. I dated a girl from there... they have
a rodeo and lots of Bush Lovers there.
\_ Why? Any particular reason? Are you scared some volvo-driving
latte-sipping New York Times-reading scary liburul is going to
solicit you for gay butt love?
\_ I don't drink latte -straight BMW-driving liberal.
\_ But you're cool with the gay butt love?
\_ No, but if you're looking I recommend Castro St.
\_ No. I'm a left-liberal and want to see what the other half
thinks of it, rather than going to see it with a bunch of
people going whoop-whoop.
\_ Most conservatives won't go and see this "movie". We
have better things to do with our $9 than waste time
watching some twit's lame over-hyped ramblings.
\_ And you know that this movie is some "twit's
lame over-hyped ramblings" because you saw the
movie or because you listened to some twit's
lame over-hyped ramblings about how you shouldn't
see this movie?
\_ I know things like Richard Perle saying that he
told MM that what MM put in his movie about RP's
stuff simply wasn't true and MM had months to fix
it before release and wouldn't even respond. For
example, RP says he is the one who gave the OK for
the bin Laden family to leave the US; it never went
higher than him personally yet MM blames Bush for
it as if it was a Bush/bin Laden oil conspiracy. MM
is a proven liar and a scumbag and won't see my
money. Thanks for asking.
\_ I don't listen to the radio. I saw a summary
of the movie in a newspaper (think it was the
WSJ). The newshour had some stuff about it
as well. Seemed to me like yaOverHypedFlick.
Anyway, movies aren't really my thing. The
last movie I saw was ST:Nemsis. The next
movie I'll see might be Bourne Supremacy.
\_ Most of this "hype" is being generated by
people calling it some "twit's lame over-hyped
ramblings". I'm sure Michael Moore couldn't
be happier with all the free publicity
conservatives are giving him.
\_ When someone tells the Big Lie in public and
worse, gets money and accolades for it, it is
important to say something. Otherwise people
will blindly accept it as fact instead of as
"that controversial movie by that guy".
\_ Ahh, so you just have extremely poor taste.
Likely you don't bother to vote anyway, so its
moot.
\_ Can't argue about the poor taste
in movies part. I'll watch almost
anything with the words Star Trek
in the title.
I have voted Republican in every
election since 1995. Someone has to
keep the commies from taking over
the country. :-)
\_ The Trekkies vs. the Commies??!!?!
Now THAT I would pay $10 to see.
\_ Winner takes on the Moonies
in a steel cage death match.
\_ Bust a deal, spin the wheel!
\_ Apparently you're wrong about that, but please
continue with your fantasy world, its amusing to
the rest of us.
\_ Don't you see his logic? If they see the movie, then
they aren't Real Conservatives (TM). It's like how
lots of Christian denominations disclaim other
wacky Christians by saying "Those aren't Real
Christians."
\_ no. if we see the movie, we're wasting our time
and money better spent with families, at work, or
doing something useful elsewhere.
\_ Most of my conservative friends have skipped
this movie prefering to spend their money on
real entertainment instead (spidey 2).
\_ Spiderman's a Democrat.
\_ So what? Conservatives can't like
Democrats? When was that law passed?
\_ Dude, it was a joke. I don't even
think Spiderman has a political
affiliation. Take that rod out of
your ass.
\_ So was my response.

\_ "I'm having trouble paying my mortgage, but
everyone is these days in the Bush economy."
\_ Yeah with interest rates at 46 year lows, if
you can't pay your mortgage you're an idiot.
\_ I vote for Danville or Atherton.
\_ I dunno if Atherton is that conservative - just extremely
rich.
\_ Piedmont - extremely rich and pretty liberal
Atherton - extremely rich and pretty conservative
\_ All the Atherton residents I know (8 households,
both my age-group and my parents') are fairly
liberal.
\_ Are you liberal? If so, what are the odds you
would spend social time with anyone who wasn't?
\_ Maybe Stockton? Most of the Bay Area is pretty
liberal. All major Bay Area counties voted Dem
in the 2000 election.
\_ To call F911 a "documentary" is an injustice to real documentary
film producers such as Ken Burns. Its like comparing the crap on
Discovery channel to real programs such as Nova or American Exp.
\_ Ken Burns? You've gotta be kidding me. I would argue about
this with you but just the thought of Ken Burns is putting me
to sleee.....zzzzzzz
\_ Almost everything Ken Burns has produced for American
Experience has been exceptional. Entertaining, factual,
well researched.
\_ ZZZZZZzzzZZ....mph...ZZzzz
\_ Nova is a real documentary??? It can be many times more biased
than F9/11 except nobody is bothered about it.
\_ I've been watching Nova for more than 20 yrs. I haven't
ever seen a biased eps.
\_ That says more about you than Nova or F9/11.
\_ Name some biased eps in Nova. |
