Quick question...is it in English or Farsi?

Actually, I think you might be misinterpreting that sentence. Michael making that distinction was supposed to be a clarification, but Gilroy's blase rejection of the difference just served to highlight the fact that the character simply didn't care. Besides, I don't think have the sociopathic Gilroy endorse that line of thinking serves as a real big plus for the equation of white supremacists with the right wing.

I can't believe people have gotten this far without expressing a general sort of horror and scarring about the big-bearded dude in the short shorts from the 70s. Oh God, why did my morning have to begin with THAT?

Otherwise, great article.

No kidding. I find their arguments interesting, if only for their denial of suspicious behavior and circumstances. Regardless of the pro/anti stance, he certainly doesn't look clean from any stand point. Some of them even sound like the same person wrote them on different screen names. Didn't realize MJ was THAT controversial.

Good to see some reviews back up. As much as I enjoy reading political commentary, I really wish the Big H would do some more reviews of shows from a conservative/non-political angle.

Quote from an interview on Salon (Link = http://www.salon.com/ent/movies/btm/feature/2009/...

"There's no message, per se, that I'm trying to get across with the movie. It's rather that I want to present science fiction, and put it in the environment that affected me. In the process, maybe I highlight all the topics that interest me, but I'm not giving any answers. You can take from it what you will."

Err...might want to watch the film. It's far from PC-101, in fact, nearly every character (including the aliens) in this film is an unqualified bastard. As many have said on here already, it takes shots at everyone. Doesn't mean there aren't legitimate criticisms of the film, but that it's politically correct drivel is not one of them.

Err...I'm not entirely sure we watched the same movie. First, I acknowledge that MNU was the bad guy. But I think it's a huge leap to say that Blomkamp was attacking MNU (whose forces had lots of light blue helmets and armbands, lets not forget) because it's a corporation; MNU was doing lots of unethical things, for which it deserved, rightfully, to be condemned. That link was never made in the film, nor at any point by any of the in-film commentators. MNU has some 'good' guys, and lots of bad, but no one in this film gets away clean. I don't think that's a legitimate criticism of the film, of which I admit there are a few.
