misscamOMG.
I've just watched "George W. Bush: Faith in the White House" (official site here), which my brother had somehow managed to get his paws on and... It's some of the most hilarious and vomit-inducing shit I've ever seen. Its claim to be objective are so sad I just want to put it out of its misery. Quotes from people not thinking Bush is the awesomest ever are read in a silly or snivelling voice, and only supporters of Bush are actually interviewed, and then with "touching" music in the background. It seems to argue that being a man of faith automatically makes Bush all nice and misunderstood and lovable. Um, yeah. Because history isn't full of Christian bastards as well. Nu-up. And it yatters on and on about how Christianity is the foundation of the US, as if that somehow cancels out that the Constitution itself tells faith to not cosy up to government too much. And oh God - pardon the pun - the image use, the sodding image use! Hugging kids and in prayer and against a huge image of Jesus and American flags barfed all over. Dude, sometimes respect for the flag is also about knowing when not to use it. Course, it boasts about how Bush is leader of the free world, but aside from that, the world seems to be the US because the rest of the world's opinion on this aren't entered into at all (probably because most of the rest of the world hate him). And it's all so serious and they try to look so sincere and I kept waiting for the Monty Python-esque "And now for something completely different - Dick Cheney in a chartreuse tutu!" - anything to tell me I'd wandered into some surreality or satire and are in fact not watching something proclaimed a "documentary". Opinions - not in fact actual facts. I know this is a shocking devolpment to you all.
What the fuck is this shit? I mean, Michael Moore tends to grate on me, but this has subjected me to hitherto unknown levels of barfitude. What the fuck, film-makers? What the fuck?
But thank you for 70 minutes of out-of-this-logic experience. It was certainly... Something.
