One of the things that struck in that film was all these people, who looked perfectly ordinary, but came out with some well disturbing things. Whereas the one guy who looked plain wierd, Marilyn Manson, was by far the most sensible in what he said.

I too found the northern Ireland section of “Stupid White Men” a sad blip in what was otherwise a good, if ranting, book.
As you say, when he gets it wrong….
I’ve yet to see the film. Must give it a go one day.

In the end, it almost doesn’t matter whether Moore’s right, wrong, or an interesting blend of both. No one man, woman, or group thereof will ever have all, not even a significant portion of, the answers. I’m sure Moore starts a project reciting to himself, under his breath, “Can the slapstick, man. Just tell the story.” Then he gets bored, and realizes that no one’s gonna watch a dry, purely factual account of things, at least no one who needs to.
Here we are, talking about the topic (sort of—I realize we’re digressing), and that’s what counts.

I keep meaning to see that film, if only for Marilyn Manson’s cameo

I have to admit that, whilst I applaud his questioning on this issues, I just find the man hugely irritating. But then I like Louis Theroux. Still to see Bowling for Columbine, and have still to read his recent book (received as a present from a friend), you may just have spurred me on to do so.
