michaelmoorehatesamerica....

Just watched the movie... really good.   Not what you would expect.  It was a positive piece on America and a positive piece on what good documentary style could and should be.   It did trash moore tho...  but it tried to do it honestly..

The guy really hated moore and fought the  temptation (not allways successfuly) to do a moore like hatchet job... he was best when he was looking at the positive sides of America and you could see that he was most unhappy when he was tempted to the dark side.

Throughout.... Penn... from Penn and Teller was his mentor... Penn had some really interesting insights on dishonesty...  good enough to buy the movie right there..

Seems odd to say but... the movie was a very positive movie.

for those of us that hate moore... there was plenty of catching him in huge whoppers by interviewing the people moore had in his movies and finding out what really went on.

World famous documentary movie maker was also a key figure in the movie.... he and Penn were the real stars.

I loathe Michael Moore and will never watch a single "film" of his.

This movie was not by moore... it was about him by a guy named Wilson who really dislikes moores dishonesty.

You could watch the movie and revel in the parts that made moore look like the liar and hypocrite that he is but... you would miss some of the really good stuff in it.

I hate michael moore but never saw that movie. i might have to look into it.

I wish i could meet mike moore to punch him in the face. This country might be a total mess and have a tard for a president but if you don't support it even at it's worst you can just get the hell out. that's what michael moore should do...get the hell out

Documentarys are the most underrated kinds of movies. I love em. saw Fahrenheit 9/11 and thought it was a bunch of BS. now the doof is making fahrenheit 9/11 1/2. He is begging for an arse kicking

lazs, I understand completely what you are saying.  With Michael Moore, I just deny him any attention.   I'll never watch a movie by him, or about him.  

I wasn't slamming you in any way bud.   <> bro.

Moore effects me this much, and so I can't get up enough desire to bring hate to him. Haven't watched any of his movies, don't care to.

As a matter of fact, I had completely forgotten about him until now.

Ignorance will keep you in the dark.  This is the problem I have with people in this country, you won't listen to the opposite side.  By saying you won't ever pay attention to him to completely deny his opinion and listening to a diffrent side of the story.  There are multiple facets to every story that goes on, choosing to listen to just 1 will get you in trouble eventually.

If you like Penn, be sure to watch Penn & Teller's Bull****.

he doesn't affect me either, i have seen some of his movies and bowling for columbine was decent but his views on our country make me want to kick him in the nuts. I haven't thought of him untill now and will stop thinking about him after this thread is gone but if someone asks me what i think of him it will be "he is a doosh and i hate him"

It's not a matter of being closed minded.  Rather, its a matter of giving something it's due respect.  MM deserves no ones respect since he has none for anyone else.

Hmmm... what views are those? AFAIK, he's critical of Bush, critical of the NRA, and critical of corporations.

Maybe it's just me, but I think there is more to our country than this.

fine! then i want to kick him in the nuts because i don't like him, happy?

[Pooh21]

I saw him on BBC a in the end of 2000 or first part of 01. I didnt know who he was either. Was just an unshaven fat slob, spewing drivel. I wanted to kick him in the nuts then too.

That's a great series. The episodes on Gun Control, Free Speech, & bottled water are my favorites.

Mike Wilson did a pretty good job in MMHA, I enjoyed it.

At least people are finally catching on to MM's ambush style, he's gonna have a bit harder of a time getting those interviews for his film about the healthcare industry. Companies have basically put out an APB and forbidden employees from talking to him.

It's also believed that he's now ghostwriting for Cindy Sheehan. The style of her writing changed considerably since he took her up cause and now mysteriously fits Moore's.

Thanks for pointing that movie out Lazs! I probably wouldn't have rented it if I hadn't read your post...
