I knew this was going to happen. I knew when Fahrenheit 9/11 came out on DVD the scary Bush supporters would do all they can to start arguments at my work. If you don't know already, I work at Blockbuster. It happened the first time a few days ago, some guy asked when Fahrenhype 9/11 was coming out, which is an actual movie, and I thought he meant Fahrenheit 9/11 so I pointed him to the sign that showed the release date. He said, "I would rather watch paint dry than watch that crap." I kept my mouth shut that time. Today, a guy came up to check out his movies and looked at the release date sign and said, "You guys should burn Fahrenheit 9/11 when it comes in." This time I didn't keep my mouth shut, but all I said was "I thought it was a good movie". Which I did, I thought it was well made. I actually didn't agree with everything that was said in the movie and I also recognized a lot of it was overdramatized. But in saying that "I thought it was a good movie" this guy just went off saying shit like, "You must not have a mind of your own" and "You must have wanted terrorists to fly into the twin towers" and "You know it's propaganda, just like Hitler's propaganda". Which to me, was the most ridiculous of all the statements. Michael Moore is comparable to Hitler??? Michael Moore is some fat dude from a blue collar family in Flint, Michigan that likes making movies about politics and corporate America. How can someone with no power what so ever be compared to Hitler? Too many people out there have no idea what a propoganda film is. But I didn't repond to him. I was exhausted and had tons of work to get done. I just told him to go away....and have a nice day. I wish I'd said more now. But at the time I was running on 2 hours of sleep and just wasn't in the mood to "debate" with such a tool. It wouldn't have gone anywhere and I wouldn't have been able to get any work done. I was also so dumbfounded by his ignorance that I didn't even know what to say at the time. Which is always how it goes...when I came out of my disbelief in his ridiculius statements, I knew exactly what to say, but it was too late. Next time I think I'll just keep my mouth shut.
