Bowling for Columbine
It's the new film from Michael Moore, and I've read that it has finally been released in the USA, and that it's apparently doing quite well.
Has anyone seen it? (I haven't)
All my friends in France and the UK who have seen it can't stop raving about how good it is..

Finally saw it!
As expected, it's highly entertaining, quite funny, and worth watching.
But Moore's VERY biased way of 'documenting' a subject can get on the nerves of even his most convinced followers (me for example). He takes a few easy short cuts and adapts facts and statistics so that they fit the message he tries to get across. On the other hand he loves asking questions, and of course most of them are very important, and not really raised by anyone else. He doesn't give clear answers though, and the best parts come from some of the really wise people he interviews, not from the moments when his large body steps into the frame (he seems to love that).
Definitely a movie to see - am I the only one here who's seen it?
