Lennon vs Predator!!!

Anyone that has a public assassination is, in my mind, a respectable figure of history.
We just don't have any great assassinations these days. And I have my theories as to why. It's because noone cares about anything anymore. Everyone complains about the President or Prime Minister of their respective countries, but noone has the extremist attitude to do anything about it. We just watch The Tonight Show ridicule them, and think our laughter and personal satisfaction is enough to change the war in the Middle East or permit stem-cell research. We just don't care about things that much anymore.

But here to show us what we would and should be caring about if we weren't so caught up in trying not to care is a whole ton of archived John Lennon interviews!!!!

Ok, so I set it up to be a negative review. Which it isn't. I even said I respected him for being shot four times by a mentally-corrupt fan. But it seems that nowadays, political documentaries are getting to the point that, even though they might be focusing on different wars and different leaders, they still only aim at doing one thing. Defacating on US patriotism and informing us how shitty humans are.
The U.S. vs John Lennon is sort of the same. It's based on Lennon's position in United States politics and the turbulance he created... and the threats he posed to Nixon's cabinet. In the end, this is a more specific, less flabby (so to speak) version of a quasi-purpose Michael Moore doco. And in my eyes, a broad documentary is a boring one, so narrow targets and specific subjects are what's appealling about this.


I don't agree with Lennon's 'no hygiene, no grooming, no shoes' and overall homeless man ambition. And I just don't agree with Yoko Ono's face. But there's something to The U.S. Versus John Lennon, I think. If you didn't already realise that Nixon = Bad and John Lennon = Good, then maybe you should Google 'Vietnam War'. Or check the trailer out now. It contains some snazzy Lennon music, washed-out 70's era film and some fashions that have to be seen to be believed that what your wearing is going to look any better in 30 years.
In all, I guess it's good to know that some of the important things Lennon said and strived for will be compiled into one big package. Who knows, it might even prompt someone to kill again, so I can get a little excitement in my life and watch cable news cover the breaking news story of a crazed stay-at-home father's assassination of Jenna Elfman by a crossbow bolt through the throat.

The U.S. Versus John Lennon - Lionsgate
Anticipation Level: Low.
Look out for: There's some nice music. I mean, you don't expect dazzle from a trailer for a documentary. The music is the only real standout. Unless you want to check out how old Yoko Ono has become.
