JMS Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I know Michael More is very controversial. I also know he doesn't produce documentaries, he's a very talented movie editorialist. I didn't start out as a big fan, but what turned me into one was how smart and well researched his editorials are. He makes these crazy acusations which nobody would possible believe, and invarable they turn out to be true. Like Bush Sr. sitting across the table from Bin Laudin's brother on the morning of 911. Who would believe that? Like the Saudi's backing Bush W. in several failed businesses prior to his sucessful run for the Presidency. His facts are amaizingly researched, it's the conclusions he draws from those facts which really should host the critism. Anyway, I always learn a bunch of stuff when I see a Michael Moore movie, I can't wait for his movie on the global meltdown. http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheat-sheet/item/michael-moore-goes-to-wall-st/fleeced/?cid=cs:headline10 Michael Moore Goes to Wall Street Controversy-loving filmmaker Michael Moore will turn his camera to the global economic meltdown in a film due out this October. Moore is staying secretive about the project, but a statement he released suggests the film will target the men and women behind the economic crisis with the same fiery outrage as his former projects attacked President Bush or the health care industry. "The wealthy, at some point, decided they didn't have enough wealth," he said in the statement." They wanted more—a lot more. So they systematically set about to fleece the American people out of their hard-earned money. Now, why would they do this? That is what I seek to discover in this movie."

Thiebear Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 i would suspect that its the same result if Newsmax did it. HIGHLY biased with 3/4 truths all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deejaydana Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Michael Moore's best work to date was getting 'blowed up' in Team America World Police. Does anyone over the age of 22 like/believe Moore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GibbsFactor Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 It will be interesting to see the spin on this. Where will the fault be placed for this film? Or will he blame us for our MTV ideals of big pimping!!!!!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSkins561 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Let me guess Moore is bashing Wall St. because the investors make a lot of money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetoaster Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I actually like some of his stuff. And I count myself as a republican. Obviously some of his stuff has a clear agenda, but a lot is also pretty thought provoking. You don't have to agree with what he says, but at least it makes people stop and think for a minute. If you cut through some of the B.S. he includes, a good amount of his stuff is worth watching, in my opinion. I will wait to see more on this, but there os a good chance I will see this at some point. I did not get to see Sicko yet, but it is definitely on my list of things to watch.

Ax Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 It will be interesting to see the spin on this. Where will the fault be placed for this film? Save your money. George W. Bush did it. He's the debil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterMP Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Like Bush Sr. sitting across the table from Bin Laudin's brother on the morning of 911. Who would believe that? Well, considering there is no evidence that it actually happened, I don't know who would believe it. http://www.de-fact-o.com/fact_read.php?id=17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMike619 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I love the fact that this fat **** is still trying to capitalize off the mistakes made by the very same country that feeds his disgusting ass. He is top 5 of people I want to fight. edit: I really hate sounding like "love this country or leave it" but when your sole source of income is dogging the same country that allows you to do this then I have to go there.

ECU-ALUM Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Wow from a guy that at one time had invested in Halliburton to doing this? This jackass reminds me of what Patrick Stewart once said in a movie..."I am not a violent man, but I do believe I may have to kill someone."

BigMike619 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 or that were just educated enough to know when a big fat blowhard is just trying to criticize when he cant even take care of his own appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackest Eyes Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I think it would be awesome to see unbiased movies like this done...but since Moore is so extreme you have to take the info from his movies with a grain of salt. If anyone did a movie like this, I would say Morgan Spurlock could make a good one. edit: I really hate sounding like "love this country or leave it" but when your sole source of income is dogging the same country that allows you to do this then I have to go there. I agree as well. My question would be if his documentaries were unbiased and truthful, would you feel the same way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to watch a Michael Moore movie to know he's a horse's ass who unfortunately has access to a video camera and a gullible audience.

BigMike619 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I agree as well. My question would be if his documentaries were unbiased and truthful, would you feel the same way? if he said "bush did ______ wrong but he did ______ right" of course I could view his works. but he has clearly made it a point to do nothing but try to tear down and discredit everything he goes after. thats not unbiased in the least. and when he went after charlton heston like he did I got pissed. if that would have been back in Charlton's prime he wouldnt have gotten 2 sentences out before picking up his teeth and apologizing. But I guess he thought it was OK to attack an old man who is losing his mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Michael Moore is a sensationalist and a provocateur. As with any propagandist there needs to be enough truth in it to get the fish on the hook, but after that misdirections and exagerations in the name of his agenda are the name of the game. He's only two steps above Rush imo Edit: You can get some interesting info out of Moore, but you definately need to do your homework and sift what he says.
