A new documentary.

I wonder how many of this country's "open minded" lefties will be running out to see this film on opening night?

If there's one thing I've learned the last 3 years, it is that talking about how much America sucks is a sign of true patriotism... but saying that America is a great place to be means you are trying to silence dissent.

America sucks = patriotism.
America is great = fascism.

I don't think I will go out of my way to see that one either.

Heh, here's a review of another movie in the "America doesn't suck" vein.

http://www.theonionavclub.com/cinema/index.php?issue=4026#review2

I'll just give you the words that set the tone of the review:

Quote
a star-spangled plea for the hearts and minds of Disney shareholders

steaming pile

commercial-slick vignettes

a hilarious camp artifact

apple-pie mythmaking at its most insidiously thoughtless

the shame of Abu Ghraib

the cornpone idea of America

red, white, and blue clichés

Technically, the film is a documentary, but it's closer to an advertisement or a state-funded propaganda film, calibrated to appeal to emotional, unreflective instincts through shimmering hogwash. If this is a real cross-section of America, then where are the needy, the disenfranchised, and the assholes?
—Scott Tobias


I think we found one of the assholes, Scott.

Same link as the one a few posts up.  Same guy reviewed both movies.  My impression of his F911 review was that he was trying to gush without gushing.
