according to /film, he's planning a sequel to Fahrenheit 9/11 to be released in 2009.
i remember a lot of people hated for the Bush-bashing like 5 years, but those jackasses now know he's been right all along.

any thoughts on him in general? his future projects? his older documentaries?

I dont care what you think about Bush.  Anyone who says that Michael Moore was "right all along" is a fucking moron.

I will say this about the man.  He is brilliant at using propaganda and rhetoric to get people to agree with him.  Very talented at that.  However it doesn't take much education and research to figure out that MOST (not all but most) of what he says is total one sided bull shit.

I don't care what the subject is, who is presenting it, and what I believe in relation.  There are always two sides to the coin.  And he never shows both.

100% agree.

He's not a bad film maker and I've found his flicks entertaining but he's ultra left wing and hugely subjective.

Yup and yup...
Hence I don't like this guy... Abusing people "morony" is too easy when you have access to all his means (ways of communication, famousness, publicity, etc.)...

I actually had no big thing against him until I read about his newer film "Sicko" which is apparently rife with mis-information and biased comment.

Have yet to actually see it but it sounds like he really shot himself in the foot with some of his "hard facts"

Post by: bright lights, big city on May 16, 2008, 04:15 AM
i gotta read into it, but i knew that at least most of the info from Sicko was truth, like French and Cuban health care systems

Sicko is his call for free healthcare right?  I havnt seen it. 

But that's a really bad idea.
