Fellowship 9/11

Post by Rogue 9 »

Link
Michael Moore's searing examination of the Aragorn administration's actions in the wake of the tragic events at Helms Deep. With his characteristic humor and dogged commitment to uncovering - or if necessary fabricating - the facts, Moore considers the reign of the son of Arathorn and where it has led us. He looks at how - and why - Aragorn and his inner circle avoided pursuing the Saruman connection to Helms Deep, despite the fact that 9 out of every 10 Orcs that attacked the castle were actually Uruk-hai who were spawned in and financed by Isengard.

That would have been funnier if
1: There were a direct link between Al-Qaeda and Saddam Hussein
2: Arabs were inhuman killing machines
3: George Bush was a war hero;
as it is, the connections between this film and Farenheit are a lot more tenuous than those between Farenheit and reality.

It's a fun concept, though.

I'm sorry, that just bored me. The ad for Empire and Me was funny, though.

Yeah, I figured the trailer would get more laughs on a Star Wars board. :wink: And it's Darth & Me. :wink:

OK, managed to see it now. Somewhat amusing, though when you're doing satire, you don't need to get preachy at the end. It went a bit over the top.
