Bowling for Columbine

Just in case anyone is interested, I will be going to see Michael Moore's "Bowling for Columbine" at 7:00 at the Camera One Theater in San Jose. (I couldn't do the 9:35 showing because of child care considerations.) I have been waiting for months for this to open.

I would urge everybody to see this movie (especially in the first week or so, so it doesn't disappear from the theaters): it is an examination of America's love for violence, and, given the geopolitical situation we find ourselves in, is very relevant. For cinephiles, it received a special award at Cannes this year.

Sick Quote of the Day

"I use the pen, because the pen is mightier than the sword. But you still need the sword, for when the pen fails."
