This is the "Ask me anything" meme. Except that I didn't like most of the standard intro text, so I'm skipping all of it except this bit:

I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. I promise, I will not make fun of you, or say who asked what.

And once you've done that, you do the same in your LJ. OK?

About a year after everyone else, we finally watched Bowling For Columbine. Which I had heard a lot about, of course. I've seen many, many discussion on the net about how awful and misleading and untruthful and unamerican it was. Some of them had lengthy, detailed lists of every detail in the movie that the poster found wrong. So I was, to put it mildly, curious to see it.

My immediate reaction is pretty much twofold. First, Moore raises some very good questions (questions that are becoming increasingly relevant for the non-US world, too, as the US culture spreads). Second, every last fucking point on those lists was irrelevant to what the movie was about. Bah.

I will definitely be seeing Fahrenheit 9/11 when it gets here. If nothing else so because it's one of the best titles I've ever heard.
