ReaggieP,
When you pair the two in your thread you are indeed associating that saw had some underlining reason for this.

hey, on a side note... at least we're arguing something other than the format war! This is a sign of things to come folks!

My two cents... Definitely many things and events may influence our lives/decisions, but you can't say they 'caused' me to 'do this or that', and/or be used to deflect blame and lay fault.
"The devil made me do it" (or perhaps a rock album, or horror movie?) is the wrong understanding and false - no, man's nature to SIN is the 'cause' of something evil, terrible, or dishonest. But we don't 'have' to sin, rather we choose to. (there is a difference) - because of our sinful nature, is why humans need redemption (fill in your faith here).
Today is Sunday, and there's my sermon.
I like good horror, etc, but the SAW series looks lame (and I only rented the first movie on Blu-ray, and was not impressed with all of the regular hype).
Skyhawk... EXCELLENT observation about the Michael Moore film Bowling for Columbine. This guy is mostly and so deliberately a 'con' and propragandist, that he really does the 'liberal' side (and point of view) a bad disservice. And that incredible 2007 Canadian documentary DVD - MANUFACTURING DISSENT provides the facts you need to know about what motivates him.
I'd trust Al Gore (and his media efforts), over Michael Moore, if I was on the liberal side.

Did you see "Sicko" yet? Although there are a few good points in there (as with all his films), he again ruins it all especially with that nutty Cuba trip. Sure it may be a great place to get all inclusive trips to party and dance salsa, but if I had a medical problem there I'd want the Canadian consulate to helicopter me to the nearest Canadian or American medical facility in a hurry!
I just think Moore ruins his otherwise good films by backing up some otherwise valid points with propaganda-like strategies - including fudging stats like showing murder rates in Canada and other countries versus USA by number instead of per-capita, and then relying on anecdotal accounts as if it represents the majority situation. It's entertainment - pure and simple, so take it as what it is IMO.
Edit: Al Gore just bored me to tears I'm sorry to say. If there was something new in there, or at least something delivered in a creative new way that held my interest, I'd think differently. But BBC, CBC, etc. have way better documentaries on environmental subjects such as global warming IMO.
