Michael Moore - got a gold in Cannes, and his movie will be released in the US, even if they are arguing about the age... has he done a generally good job by bringning documentaries into a new light - or is it just slightly polished porpaganda? Per Haddal, famed moviecritic has some interesting thoughts.

"In feature films the director is God; in documentary films God is the director" said Alfred Hitchcock
"Most got attracted to the genre because they could tell a story on a low budget, with complete control and without commercial interference" - indie movies... using DV to tell a "true" story, but is there A truth, or just MY truth?



On a more thoughtful note - did a Google search on Lynndie England a while back, which naturally turned up lots of pages. But, the image tab was empty. I guess that shows how hard it can be to link an image to relevant phrases - and to keep the search base updated and linked with newsstories. AllTheWeb had 167 Web hits, 971 news hits and no images. As for the prison name "Abu Ghraib" they had 80 and 130 or so pictures, mostly related to car bombing.

25 inside - and 31,5 in the shade on the balcony (it eventually crept up to 34) - oh yes, early May in Norway... there is nothing "unusual" about the general climate. Right. Check.
(in centigrade, quick conversion gives 93,2 F... hot)

...and the sun was doing its thing...
