Speaking of Michael Moore...
Christopher Hitchens of Slate has penned the ultimate review of Michael Moore's new film, Farenheit 9/11. Click here for the link.

No comment is necessary after reading this. Hitchens has written the ultimate Moore critique. Best of all, it's chock full of highbrow intellectual phrases to describe the film. This is important in Base10's case because there is no way in hell he is going to plunk down his hard-earned pesos to watch Michael Moore stroke his own ego. If you don't read the whole thing, just read this one paragraph--Base10's favorite:

To describe this film as dishonest and demagogic would almost be to promote those terms to the level of respectability. To describe this film as a piece of crap would be to run the risk of a discourse that would never again rise above the excremental. To describe it as an exercise in facile crowd-pleasing would be too obvious. Fahrenheit 9/11 is a sinister exercise in moral frivolity, crudely disguised as an exercise in seriousness. It is also a spectacle of abject political cowardice masking itself as a demonstration of "dissenting" bravery.

"Sinister exercise in moral frivolity." Yeah. Base10 can remember that one.
