Saw both on premiere nights in NYC, loved both, case closed.

They're both on the cover of the Village Voice this week with the subhead, "Doing Good Really Pays Off."

Moore understands correctly that if popular, leftist positions are going to enter the medium of mass entertainment, proponents will have to speak in the writ-large language of the blockbuster: good vs. evil, Jesus vs. Satan, Spidey vs. Doc Ock, America vs. Dubya. "Even though the kind of films Moore makes are a far cry from Spider-Man 2," The Hollywood Reporter wrote last week in an article entitled "Top 10 Things Moore Did Right With Fahrenheit," "it's clear that he understands how important it is for a movie, especially a comic-book story driven movie, to have a colorful villain." Unfortunately, our death-dealing leader answered Moore's casting call all too well.
