January 22nd should be good, as that's when a really rocking movie comes out with lots of blood and guts and plot turns galore - and even the weapons are done right.

It's the one with all the name actors in it, including Jeremy Piven and Ben Affleck. Highly recommended!

Talk about your liberal wankstains. Check out this comment from the article.

Stanley Nelson, the director of another shortlisted film, “Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple,” said that while Mr. Moore was “over the top,” his work occupied a significant position within the genre. Speaking at an Upper West Side coffee shop, Mr. Nelson said, “What’s fascinating about documentary today is the different ways to approach it.”

Referring to his own film about Jim Jones, who led the mass suicide in which more than 900 people died in Guyana in 1978, Mr. Nelson said: “It was essential for us not to say that this guy was only evil. Just by being somewhat objective, we were being revolutionary.

Wow, that's revolutionary, what's next Mr. Nelson? What about a revolutionary documentary on Hitler where you show that he wasn't just evil. He loved opera, built the autobahns, loved dogs and was a non-smoking vegetarian as well. Who the fuck needs to parody documentary film makers when you've got guys like Stanley Nelson saying things like that for you?
