Saw it this afternoon, it had some good and not so good parts. I loved the girl in it - thought she was amazing. Didn't understand some things, like how could the fat kid not know how to swim? Whatever.

During the previews, a film called Bush's Brain was previewed, a hyper-paranoid look at Karl Rove suggesting he mind controls all of Bush's behaviour. My reaction...what the fuck is going on in this country? Have we been reduced to paranoids without any sense of control over our own lives? This trend is troubling to me, a loss of rational thinking about problems and people and solutions and reduction to paranoid fantasy's, chasing phantoms as substitute for our problems. It's truly insane. Documentary films are the crazy left's answer to Rush Limbaugh and I have contempt for both...
