Colour me to embarassed to be having a conversation with you about 'reality.' I think your reviewer (?) used the word in a sentence. Haha!

Here's the ACTUAL data for the weekend: Notice Capitalism: A Love Story is fourth in T-Meter and Theater Average for the weekend. That, and it's a documentary, a polarizing one at that, and it's behind the intellectual fare of Zombieland and Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, fine movies in their genre, I'm sure. Perhaps those movies are more to your liking. Maybe Invention of Lying is the movie you should go see.

 
"Capitalism", a documentary and basic polemic film, opens against "Zombieland" and "Toy Story 3D" and "The Invention of Lying" and still manages to garner a solid showing?  Very respectable.  Plus, it's getting good basic reviews from both viewers and "authentic" reviewers.

I think Michael has done another acceptably good job.

I think that another wingnut has been exposed.

Then you need to be open to such a discussion and conduct it honestly.

There are people who frequent this site who would be glad to engage you in this kind of discussion, but most of us will ignore outright belligerence. If you want to open a dialog you have to stop accusing everyone who disagrees with you of being racist troglodytes. That isn't an argument, it's an insult. It's a way of avoiding a discussion, of shutting people up.

Ball's in your court, but you've given yourself quite a handicap. Life is short and I don't have time—or any need—to defend my motives or question anybody else's.

So when you watch TV in the US you get all that crap all over the screen? The flashy bit top right, the banners top'n'bottom, the big name dodaa bottom left every 10 seconds in case we've forgotten who we've been watching in the last 9 seconds?
 
Cunning old broadcasters. Not so much subverting the message but drowning it out under a barrage of visual stimuli.
 
Cynical? Moi?
