Default New Michael Moore film

No, not Sicko, it's "Shooting Michael Moore"
Shooting Michael Moore

Sort of poetic justice, IMO.

Not that I'm a huge MM fan, don't get me wrong. I know he's another rich fat white guy that exploits people for money. But if that's cause for getting pissed we should have all stormed Rupert Murdochs place long ago.

I always find it funny when -ANYone- says anything controversial about 'the system', the reaction isnt to say:
'No, the system works because of : Point A Point B, Point C, ' its to discredit the speaker.

God bless America, the National Enquirer, and Jerry Springer, for showing the way to lead a rebuttal!

So, I shouldn't support Home Depot because they advertise on Fox because Fox has a very large audience?

Who's getting pissed? I just find it funny and ironic when some hypocritical blowhard like Moore gets a little taste of his own medicine.

Fat fuck...think with all those millions of dollars he could get the fat sucked out of his head. I don't care for the guy, I'm pretty sure he lies just as much as the Bush admin does...he's a radical, and I can't stand radicals of anything.

That's a pretty radical statement.

He puts forward some fair points in some of his movies, but I've never believed everything he says. People, typically Americans (no offence) seem to put their faith in anyone who puts forward what seems to be a credible argument. Its ridiculous.

The thing to remember about Michael Moore "documentaries" is that you will get a lot of information about one side of the argument. It's a biased documentary, but usually an informative one for part of the issue.

I think they should do a documentary from the doctor's perspective. It seems that most doctors get caught in the middle between the HMO's and patient rights and end up lacking advocates on both sides of the issue.

Nah, didn't mean it like that bro. All I'm saying is he makes movies for profit, not to give back to the subjects of his films. I understand and agree it's exploitation, just nothing new in film and TV. Aside from that, nobody's pissed.............I hope.

If we could get Anne Coulter to make a film for example, im sure we could have some bizarre form of comparative matter to build on. At least then we could make up our minds, even though both of them have nothing really valuable to say; its not like they arent making any money.

I'm pretty sure any Anne Coulter movie would just involve her sitting in front of a camera yelling
