Commune is the first movie of the day. Ha, I love it when semi famous people show up in movies as a participant. Peter Coyote is in this, because he lived on the commune for a while. I think that what this movie does a good job of showing is that sometimes, what is good for an individual is not good for anyone who is dependant on that individual. This was a very well done movie, showing both the good and bad of communal life as realized by Black Bear Ranch.
I decided what is better after a movie about peace loving hippies than to go directly to Blood in the Face, which is about White Power idiots. So far, I have heard an old fat white guy say with pride “We are more Nazi than the Nazis”. A German immigrant saying “We should send the foreigners back to Africa where they belong”. Um….it’s sad when you are so stupid you don’t even know what you are saying. It is amazing to me as I watch this movie how few white racists are educated and well to do. It is so easy for people to blame their issues on others, and these KKK/WAR/ANP people are just blind. Blaming everyone but themselves for their place in society. Ok, during the KKK wedding, the reverend said “Bless them in Jesus name, the youngest son of God the Father”. God had other sons? I need more information! “Why can people want to save the whales, but not the white race?” Because no one is persecuting and killing white people en masse. “You don’t see dogs going outside of their species, why would people?” Well see sweetie, dogs are the species, and they mix breeds all the time. In humans, that is our species and our races are breeds so to speak so your argument is retarded. Oh, hey, that’s Micheal Moore doing one of the interviews, this must have been damn near his first movie.
Moving on to the next movie, it is called I Want Your Money and it’s a tea-party movie. Socialism is bad, because if you give people the same things, everything will stop working. Oh my hell, it’s like a giant love story to Ronald Regan. For real people, he wasn’t THAT great of a president. “A recession is when your neighbor loses his job, a depression is when you lose yours.” So, what if you are the neighbor? So, the movie while a big ole love affair with Regan and hatin’ Obama, it is saying that W did a bad job…so I guess I can agree with that. :D Ok, this movie is clearly a bunch of white rich guys, with the occasional rich black guy thrown in, complaining about being taxed. I hate taxes too, but I think that when you start saying that American corporations are here to help the people, I call Bullshit!
Frontline: the Card Game, which is about credit in the United States. I have to say that the former CEO of Providian is pretty ballsy to say “Yep, we just wanted to add fees so that we would make more money”. I mean, at least he is telling the truth. I have such a brain crush on Elizabeth Warren. People throw around the “this will destroy America” phrase so often it has lost meaning. Restricting credit card fees is not going to destroy America, it is just gonna piss off the banks.
