I watched Bowling for Columbine the other night.
I had never seen it before, and like most of Michael Moore's movies, it was way better than I expected. Very thought-provoking, and the main message of the film was *not* what I thought it was going to be.

That being said, I was left with three impressions:

1. Yes, he's kind of a jerk, but I still wound up feeling sorry for Moses.
2. As much as I hate to admit it, Marilyn Manson is an intelligent and articulate guy.
3. We should totally ban bowling. That would make as much sense as anything else that has ever been proposed.

The movie is currently available to stream on Netflix, and I'd recommend it to those who haven't already seen it.

1. Seconded.
And yes, Marilyn Manson was the most well-spoken, insightful interviewee in the entire film.

2. I have not seen it. Glad it's on streaming
I'll actually watch it then. I'm so lazy ;)
