If you could force a Freeper to watch one film...
Edited on Sat Aug-07-04 11:24 PM by sampsonblk
A Freeper foolishly visits your home for dinner, and you can force her/him to watch any movie you please. He's at your mercy. What movie do you choose? (Other than F 9/11)

Edit = typo

4. Outfoxed...
However I think that anything I show them won't convince them to see things my way, but there is always a chance that they will see what a sham Faux News is

I just watched it for the first time the other night. No wonder Michael Moore is so pissed. They stole his script.

16. Empire by Andy Warhol
Edited on Sat Aug-07-04 11:33 PM by benburch
All 8 hours of it.

No intermissions.

No bathroom breaks.

But all the coffee he can drink, and a cattleprod at the ready in case he falls asleep.

28. Manos: The Hands of Fate
One of the worst movies in the world and rated as the worst or near worst by IMDB.com aficionados. The project of a fertilizer salesman from El Paso, the camera used could only take 25 seconds of film at a time with no sound, which was dubbed in later. The bad guy's henchman was supposed to be a satyr, but you never saw his feet - there is one scene where a woman looks down at his feet and gasp, but they don't show them. So his distinguishing characteristic was that he had abnormally huge thighs. Just plain bad. Oh, and the freeper would have to watch it without the crew of Mystery Science Theater 3000 making fun of it.

If a freeper is going to come over to my house and eat my food, then he's going to suffer at my hands. :)

33. I say ROOTS
I have challenged a uhhh...CHALLENGED friend to watch the entire movie Roots with me and my family. IMHO, seeing that - for himself - might clear up some misconceptions.

The more I think about it, he could never sit through all that pain and suffering. It would probably blow his mind to know that black people haven't had lived the easy welfare life "as long as anyone can remember."

42. I don't know why you are excepting F 9/11
I think this should be required viewing for all Freepers. They need to be shown the truth and I am so very sick and tired of hearing them dismiss this film as "lies," and then admit that they haven't even seen it.:grr:
