In my opinion he's not really helping his cause. His anti-Bush ranting just make people on the fence come down on Bush's side I beileve.

I think (hope) that Michael Moore has passed his high water mark. The controversy surrounding F 9/11 had more to do with the audience's expectations than with the content of the film itself. As cinema, it was unfocused, naive, self-serving and not very entertaining.

Of course he'd be an idiot not to try to milk it. We're bigger idiots if we obligingly rally 'round or against the sequel.

I guess he might as well make a sequal from a purely financial standpoint. The money he made on #1 would buy a lot of cheeseburgers, but I imagine #2 would make plenty too.

Maybe you missed my theory about the relative intelligence of those for whom spelling is important and those who leap forward to deal with concepts...

Something Awful has had a few movie anagram photoshop Fridays. All hilarious stuff. The anagram for the Farenheit 9/11 poster was "He Fear Thin 911" with him holding up the "confidential" file loaded with KFC, McDonald's and B King logos.

I think he's a crap monger. I don't care that he's fat or not, but that one made me laugh my ass off.

I recently read an article of 56 deceits in the Fahrenheit 9/11. I knew the film was a bunch of bull, but I had no idea just how deceitful it was until I read that article. Wow.

Keep on making movies, Mr. Moore! You're turning into a hero for the Republican party!

Perhaps you meant, "There but for the grace of God." Leaving our religious views aside, it's proper grammar to capitalize when referring to the God of Abraham.

no, actually. i meant lowercase god. my god is Ted Knight, you see. while you worship the judeo-christian mythology thrust upon you by your ancestors, i've transcended such pettiness and now realize, after 37 viewings of Caddyshack, that Ted Knight is truly god...and he hates capitalizing on it.
He won. Period.

The article I read contains Michael Moore's refutations. Moore fails to adequately prove his version of the truth in almost every one.

The article I read:

You're right, I was on the fence on whether Bush or Nixon was the worst President in history. I've come down on the Bush side.

Ted Knight also had some hot daughters in a TV Show about sticking his hand up a puppet cow's ass and drawing with it. I'm not sure if I can make him diety over it, but I did watch it when I was young.

Moore just realizes that his fifteen minutes are ticking away. He reminds me of the little kid at a party who starts shouting 'pay attention to me!'
