Movie: Wikileaks - War, Lies and Videotape and Other Abortions

Started watching this documentary on the not-unreasonable assumption it would have something to do with Wikileaks.  

It basically doesn't.  The two key words in the title are "war" and "lies" as this Docu is a recounting of administration lies told about Iraq and Afghanistan.  As we all know by now these lies were legion.

I had to quit after about the 15th speech by GWB.  Time has not made him any more tolerable.

Two more Netflix documentaries I aborted:

The Flaw -- about the 2007 economic collapse, basing it on Greenspan's testimony before Congress that there was a flaw in his understanding of economic theory.  That flaw being, of course, that financial firms would operate in their own best interests in the absence of any overriding regulation.  And of course, not mentioned by the filmmakers, Greenspan's flaw stems from the unmentioned moral hazard of having TBTF coverage by the government while being encouraged to take on huge risk through leveraging.  So, not only did the Docu fail to state the obvious, it kept reverting back to some 1954 cartoon footage, over and over and over again.  What a difference from the Robert Reich film.  This one stunk.

Is The Man Who Is Tall Happy? -- an interview with Noam Chomsky by Michel Gondry. Chomsky is his usual gaseous self (never thought he was particularly insightful) but the worst parts are 1) Gondry's French accent is almost incomprehensible and 2) he chose to "illustrate" the interview with stick figure cartoons drawn over the footage. I'm sorry, those are just dumb. Abort.
