Is there where Xixax has been (lol)

[pete]

well, any documentary film that tries to "debunk the myths of documentary filmmaking" and then interviews PENN for soundbites, is pretty stupid.  it's for the people who actually think that documentaries are supposed to present the truth.

I predict this guy will have a great career as a government or corporate propagandist. He's already a marketing writer, after all.

There's absolutely nothing groundbreaking or even substantive in the trailers, except the clip of Michael Moore saying he doesn't appear in other people's movies, which is probably taken out of context (I'm sure he qualifies it afterwards). And I understand why Moore doesn't want to put himself in this guy's movie. I recently heard him say that he wants to stop doing interviews that aren't live, because the most crucial/controversial things are deleted and essential context is manipulated.

his main purpose is to attack michael moore

moore's main purpose of fahrenheit is to attack the president.  so....whats the difference?

Well, they're on opposite ends of the spectrum. Like I said in the Fahrenheit 9/11 thread, it confounds me how activism is called "attacking" and "bullying." And like pete said:

they attack the watchdogs.

They always do. Every one in power has been (and will be) pummeling Fahrenheit 9/11 into the ground. Especially when they found out it would be successful.

They will inherently attack the person, but NEVER respond on a matter of ideas. Their response is character assassination. Moore is on Charlie Rose right now so I'm signing off.

Exactly. It's usually "this is why you shouldn't listen to him" instead of "this is why his ideas are wrong."

i think it's usually "don't listen to him, he's fat" and things along that line.

And amazingly, the title lacks all the satirical value of "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot" and "Stupid White Men."

[A Matter Of Chance]

That guy, Mike Wilson, sounds like a whiney fool with nothing to say. I saw something in a technology class once about how the moon landing wasn't real, we had some crazy teacher, and the biggest point was that the flag was waving while the guy was holding it... so the flag was waving because he was waving it/holding it. This sounds like it's going to be full of junk like that, except about Michael Moore.

It's easier to attack Michael Moore than to defend George W. Bush.

So simply, beautifully put.  That needs to go on a marquee.

So, this joker was on Daily Show tonight.  What kind of documentarian agrees to be the subject of a Daily Show story?  Is he retarded?  Did he not realize he would be made a fool?

and he did...

funny how he can't get an interview with Moore, but Moore shows up in the story twice.

Please some one find the video!

Yeah, that was hilarious.  They made the man look real bad and completely unqualified; especially when he had to call directory assistance to locate Michael Moore's production company and then he got lost...only to get to a Mail Boxes etc.

Yeah, this guy mentioned the Daily Show spot and the Mailboxes, Etc thing on his website a couple of weeks ago.  Apparently, he sent a bouquet of flowers to Moore saying something like, "Congratulations on a $23 million opening weekend.  Now, can I have that interview?"  So after this Daily Show package, he's used up about 4 of his 15 minutes.  I don't know... I'd be a little bit more interested in this guy if it didn't seem like his only reason for making this film is to say, "Michael Moore is full of shit."  

Also, I read on disinfopedia a couple of weeks ago that one of the backers for Michael Moore Hates America is a Bush supporter that was involved in internet porn somehow.  Can't seem to find that tidbit anymore on the site.  Glad I printed it out.
