Oh, and about the movie: recommended. The first Michael Moore movie I’ve seen with an identifiable thesis. (Not the one the title suggests, and not the one the movie seems to start out with, but identifiable nonetheless.)

Special interest points:
Y Lesbian (features: at least two women, who talk to each other, about something besides a man)
Y Woman-of-colour (a woman of colour occupies the screen by herself without sharing it with anyone else)
N Crazy (features a visibly unhinged person trying to get by in the real world)
N Aspie (features someone who appears to have Asperger’s syndrome)
