[ccm-l] "Sicko" premise

[William Bromberg]

Well, now that you ask — both, really. 

It's a mistake  to post a review of a movie that you haven't seen if
only because it opens you up to the criticism already noted. 

OTOH, please, we've all seen the photos of the Cuban hospitals that the
non-VIPs get to go to are really like (the URLs have been posted on the
list before), they're appalling. We all know that Cuban refugees
regularly risk life and limb to swim, row, paddle, etc. to get to the
U.S. Anyone who has even remote interest in the accuracy of MMs films
knows that he routinely exaggerates, spins, and IMO lies (e.g. see
http://www.davekopel.com/Terror/Fiftysix-Deceits-in-Fahrenheit-911.htm
, and http://www.hardylaw.net/Truth_About_Bowling.html , etc. ). So do I
think the movie will be worth the time and $8 — hell no.

That being said, MM preaches to the choir, the opposition opposes and
nobody changes their minds anyway. It's harmless mental masturbation
unless it causes rifts among people of good will and hurts the list.

My opinion, worth what it costs.

Seriously, how many times do you have to sniff dog dirt to make a
fairly solid prediction that the next pile STILL won't smell like
roses.

Charles,

What a treat this topic has been, a forcefull K diatriabe against a
movie he has not seen, supported by someone who never will.

Such arrogance leaves me in awe.
