Michael Moore’s latest look at our strange and sad society. This one takes on guns and gun abuse in the US. A few wonderful bits, the best was a look at a bank that gives out guns for opening an account in Upper Peninsula Michigan. There are also some fine interviews with militia guys who seem more normal than they should. There is also a nice look at Canada, where there are 7 million guns in 30 million households. But wait. There is weird misuse of data on so many points that I wound up dissatisfied with Moore’s piece that I wanted to cheer for. Very frustrating, especially a smug, self-satisfied interview the NRA-president and, of course, Alzheimer’s sufferer (and it’s evident!) Charlton Heston, that felt very sad. Maybe he just didn’t know how messed up Heston was. Anyway, he plays fast and loose with stats and their meaning, as well as words and their meaning. Not fair, really. Still, fun to watch for other things. The look at Columbine (site of the Colorado school killings) is fascinating as is the look at our culture of fear
