Last Night: Roger & Me
Last night, I watched Michael Moore's first documentary, Roger & Me, which I hadn't seen since it came out in 1989.
I'm giving a short talk about the movie tonight at the Central Cinema, which is hosting the 1st Annual 20/20 Awards. The 20/20 Awards were organized to set the record straight by showing how inaccurate the annual Academy Awards, bound by fleeting trends and prejudices of the day (and Oscar politics), can be.
To prove their point, 20/20—as in 20/20 hindsight and 20 years ago—has redone the 1989 Academy Awards (a particularly grating year ... Driving Miss Daisy? ...), and using the test of time, they'll hand out revised awards tonight.
Roger & Me—GM, recession, corporate power, and corporate accountability—is a totally relevant movie today, obv.
