I was a freshman in college when this came out, and I had nothing better to do on a Friday night. Thought it might be fun to watch a sci-fi movie by myself. Walked to the local movie theater and bought a ticket for this. To this day I have never replicated what it was like to sit through such an absolute train wreck.…
"Lucky bastard"???
And yet they all know to get those cool Guy Fawkes masks and matching fedoras!
Agree wholeheartedly. Although I just read Uncle Tom's Cabin and I wanna say it's not nearly as flawed as I was led to believe all these years! Anyway, that's neither here nor there.
I was attending college at Brigham Young University when this came out (it's an extremely conservative Mormon school). My roommates and I were a bit more "liberal" and we all enjoyed the docs of Michael Moore, so we had a viewing party when Fahrenheit 9/11 was released on video.

Just as long as all the gay characters come off as the classy, non-funny ones that nobody laughs at directly (unless they are in on the joke) and the straight ones pretending to be gay are the objects of humor—then of course it's fine. We can all hold hands knowing we're really accepting people and we can all laugh…
Apparently if you give women enough money they will let you piss on them..?
When does gay panic cross over into just regular panic? Like the panic of being on fire, or perhaps the great panic of 1893? Does that make sense?
"I do? More like I SPEW!"
So is the film terrible because it's not funny or because it's offensive to the gays?
Primer: The 29 best Walking Dead episodes where characters wander around murmuring lines in some sort of yard or quarry setting.
The delivery of that line is borderline miraculous in its perfection.
It's a pornography store. I was buying pornography..!
Half of these names are too normal to be useable as white people names in 2015.
Who says newspapers aren't also a form of entertainment? I agree that the podcast uses murder to create an entertainment. So does "the news." The question is whether or not this entertainment is "deplorable."
