izmeinaIzzie got this from one of the Izzie friendseses in the Dungeons. It's too cute to keep it all to ourselves.
"One of the most controversial and provocative films of the year, Fellowship 9/11 is Academy Award-winning filmmaker Michael Moore's searing examination of the Aragorn administration's actions in the wake of the tragic events at Helms Deep.
With his characteristic humor and dogged commitment to uncovering - or if
necessary fabricating - the facts, Moore considers the reign of the son of Arathorn and where it has led us.
He looks at how - and why - Aragorn and his inner circle avoided pursuing the
Saruman connection to Helms Deep, despite the fact that 9 out of every 10 Orcs that attacked the castle were actually Uruk-hai who were spawned in and financed by Isengard.
Fellowship 9/11 shows us a Middle Earth kept in constant fear by "Orc Alerts" and lulled into accepting a piece of legislation, the Patriot Scroll, that infringes on basic civil rights. It is in this atmosphere of confusion, suspicion and dread that Aragorn, backed by the secretive "Fellowship Group," makes his headlong rush towards war in Mordor - and Fellowship 9/11 takes us inside that war to tell the stories we haven't heard, illustrating the awful cost to soldiers and to orcs and to their families."
Liars Gate Films will release the film nationwide on the Internet on October 7th on IFILM.COM.
More adventures of the Fellowship
And there’s a photo of “Michael Moore interviews prominent fundamentalist wizard, Gandalf the Gray.”
(And another thing altogether - since Aunt Marge and co have taken residence at the Dursley's place, Izzie's weekend online access has been greatly reduced. Then there is the minor matter of that house elf job and several Goblin assignments due shortly. So Izzie will be lurking somewhat less in LJ Land than she is used to)

Re: Waaaaah!
Date: 2004-10-12 06:43 am (UTC)Iz also loved the introductory sketches sending up two other Michael Moore movies. Izzie gets the distinct impression that the film makers are pro-Bush and Anti-Moore - or maybe the opportunity was too good to miss. But the bits of MM doing countless takes to get just the right shot was wickedly wonderful as was the whole Sauron/Saruman and pipeline business.
It was a relief to know that there is folks out there in the Bush camp who do have a sense of humour and who do such a good job of impersonating the movie mannerisms of Mr Moore. Izzie just happens to like Michael Moore - he is so wonderfully iconoclastic and irreverent and has a way of getting to the guts of a story but he does do some of the same sorts of things he accuses his enemies of and it is so much more fun to see such ingenious criticism like this movie rather than the usual ranting and whingeing that his opponents indulge in.
Yessss. And Izzie agrees. It is so so unfair. Lots of red, orange and yellow Orc alerts - but never ever GREEN!
