TankGrrl - Annotations On Life

June 29, 2004   (You probably expected to be here.)
  Facts and Pulp Fiction  

I agree with my friend Steve's assertion that we should all arm ourselves with as much info (and hopefully facts) as possible regarding the messages behind 'Fahrenheit 9/11', but I have to jump in and caution that this requires diligence on our part as much as anyone else's. The site in question, brought into being to deal with facts and only facts surrounding the movie, has several amendments already and there are lots of comments that report to repudiate the blog authors on some points.

Also, there are some strangely superfluous 'facts', like "Three Members of the 2004 Cannes Jury have ties to Miramax". Uhhhhhh. Yeah, it's a film jury. Film juries are filled with... film people. I think this is somehow supposed to indict Moore for... OK, I don't know what. Sex with Tarantino at the Miramax condo? Cheating? Cuz we all know that the Palme d'Or just brings 'em in to American box offices. Hoo boy! *waits for people not interested in juried film contests to look up just what the bloody hell a Palme d'Or is*

Some other points on the site bear some looking in to. But nothing is set in stone. So if you go, go back often. I'm going back if for no other reason than to get that one guy's cites of the common 'errors of debate'. That and I want to remain informed (I can't see the movie yet). Power to the people, y'all. :)
