to those interested. Fahrenheit 9/11 is now available in KL. just ask
your friendly VCD man/woman. I bought one on DVD5 a week ago. quality,
so-so. taken from a cinema screening with bits of the screen cut off,
including subtitles when Iraqis were talking. yet it's still viewable.
the subtitle is crap and misleading though, so turn it off.

my simple verdict on it? Not as good as Bowling for Columbine. Pretty
lacking in every angle, Bush's too easy a target for such a gonzo docu.
If you're well versed with the 9/11, Iraq, Bush's bumbling ways, the
film will NOT unveil anything new. i do think the film won the Palm
D'Or at Cannes just because of people's desperation to kick the
president's arse and run him out of office (to be replaced by the
same). It's a good whip for AMERICANS though, as I do think they see
AMERICA in a very different light than ours, like way on the other end
of the scale.

BTW: Available at Low Yat Plaza: pirate DVD of Nick Cave & The Bad
Seeds' The Videos (20 complete video promos!) and Can's "Can DVD"
(featuring two-discs of new and old footages and interviews with the
band that played a major part in the original Kraut Rock
experimentalism back in the late 60s till NOW!)

Both are of amazing value for money. go buy.
