Sicko Review

darklinensuit · #1 07-08-2007, 02:13 AM

(Sorry if there is another thread about this - I don't see one.)

I saw it today on the recommendation of my parents - My dad is a pharmacist who hates going to the movies (and has gone to only one other in the last 20+ years), but he really liked this one.
I recommend it as well. Not quite as funny as Roger and Me, IMO, but certainly a subject that is long overdue in mainstream film. My only problem is that I had already seen about five clips on various previews, TV shows, and article references, but that's not the film's fault, I guess. A few parts are sappy, but others are affecting. As with any MM film, it tends to be one-sided, but in this case I can't say to be terribly bothered by that.
Maybe seeing this will actually prompt Americans to action on this shameful business, but I am pessimistic.
Cool soundtrack, too.
The reference to the website about Canadians in the closing credits is worth sticking around for, BTW. (I won't spoil it for you.)
Has anybody else seen this movie yet?

Saw it - loved it - but it sure is frustrating.......
Loved Cat Stevens on the soundtrack!

I was planning on going to see it anyway, but now you have piqued my curiosity even more

(and thanks for not spoiling it

I love MM movies. I have them all on dvd. They're always entertaining and more importantly, very informative.

Biz is good. Motorcycle season is in full swing, so we're really busy

So you were up here last month. Just can't stay away from us wonderful Canadians, eh

We DEFINITELY will have to get together, when you come up next time! Maybe that crazy buffalo woman will come too

We're not thread jacking. The thread is called "Sicko Review"

I'm really sorry about the "eh". It's very contiguous.

F*cking computer! I just had to re-boot! It's so slow this morning.

Yeah, I was over due for some Canadian bashing

I was feeling really high on my "Canadian" horse, and I thought, I'll go visit the Ledge. They'll bring me back down to earth
