Jun 20 2007Sicko Gets Released Early

in his next film, Moore will document why he hasn't been laid, shaved, or had a haircut in 25 years.

if that fat fuck doesn't look like a pedophile, then call me rosie o'donnell.

Rosie is right, he does look like a wierdo of sorts. But I do hope lots of americans will overcome their prejudices against being shown facts and see this movie. I've been saying for too long that this system is broken. Don't worry about the bastards saying "no socialized medicine", they are just spewing the propaganda. Might as well be saying "No socialized police departments" and "no socialized terrorism task force"

i disagree with Coco..Moore's next film will be about why President Bush is still in office..
anyway..i have heard pretty rave reviews of Sicko from those who managed to watch it online at YouTube(now its down..sorry). if it comes to a theater near me(not likely coz i live in a RED town in Midwest) i will watch it and will drag husband and friends along.

Does "fuck, another Michael Moore movie" really constitute word-of-mouth buzz? Seems like more of a collective outcry.

the movie premise seems kind of... gimmicky

And what, did someone just imply that Michael Moore presents facts? Since when did out of context video splicing substitute for factual relative information?

Yeah right...they just wanted to avoid dealing with Transformers opening weekend. Even though Transformers will probably suck, and just be fun to watch for it's action and fx.

Statistics are statistics, examples are examples. Do me a favor Rocko, and find one factual error in Bowling for Columbine. Or, watch this movie, then tell me where it was incorrect or out of context.

8 - there are too many factual errors to list. check this out:

I know no one expects to hear this from a liberal with a sever heart condition, but this movie was really good.

Speaking to factual errors....guess what? Bowling could have prevented the Virginia Tech shooting and Fahrenheit could have ended the Iraq war. So unless you did more than MM to prevent those things, you don't really have a leg to stand on.

If I ever see Michael Moore, I'm giving him a Canadian visa, because he seems to dislike America a lot.

Dude, pointing out problems doesn't mean you "hate America", whatever the fuck that means. It's called muckraking.

Though I do agree that he makes Canada seem a little more utopian than it really is.

problem is, people can't tell a lie from the truth. they believe only what they see and don't bother to be objective and find the facts for themselves. if moore says it's happening, oh, it must be happening... it so convincing! and it's so "important" for us to pay attention to his fims! (that pretend to be documentaries) - whatever... some people think marx, stalin, castro, che, and hugo chavez are important too.

nationalizing healthcare is socialism. accept it. the healthcare system is flawed and needs work. accept that. work it out... i can't believe people living in a modern, free society would be willing to give away their rights and let the government tell them if/when/how/ and whether or not they get healthcare. it's truly sad. thanks michael moore for demonizing the rest of us and romanticizing everything that is anti-america. way to go!

heck with it! let's censor hollywood, censor the press and close down broadcast tv channels while we're at it! we won't need this website anymore... and you won't have to listen to "bastard", "propogandist", "evil" people decrying moore and socialism any longer... sounds great.

"Bowling could have prevented the Virginia Tech shooting and Fahrenheit could have ended the Iraq war."

Really? So, um, why didn't they?

"So unless you did more than MM to prevent those things, you don't really have a leg to stand on."

Yet another version of the nonsensical "chickenhawk" argument. Stupid liberals.

Remind me again: What exactly did Moore do to "prevent those things"? Besides, of course, producing two documentaries (ahem!) riddled with inaccuracies and outright lies, that could have prevented the Virginia Tech massacre and ended the war in Iraq, but, for some reason, didn't?

You're right. He made two documentaries about how we shouldn't be in Iraq and how we should do more to keep crazy kids from getting handguns. What a total asshole! Go America!

He probably doesn't hate America, just like the way my parents say they don't hate me... they're just dissapointed.

And while I agree with Bowling for Colubmine, Fahrenheit 9/11 seems almost contrived. I mean, with everyone hating this war anyways and saying stuff about it left and right, did we really need a whole movie?

Moore is an asshole who got his own principal fired in high school. The whole argument that "people hate the war" is stupid as hell. Duh, of course people hate war. That's why we try not to have wars. On the other hand, are you all prepared to face the alternative to taking the battle abroad? The people not fighting the war are always the ones who complain the loudest, and sleep soundly at night, content with their menial existence and blessed with freedoms that would not exist without sacrifice.

Jenson Isaac: "Really? So, um, why didn't they?"

Ah, that's easy. People (such as yourself, I have to presume) can't see the forest for the trees. Yes, Michael Moore doesn't always have all his facts right, but his message has been right since the get go. It's a shame people can't allow themselves to see that.

Jenson Isaac: "Yet another version of the nonsensical "chickenhawk" argument. Stupid liberals."
Using the chickenhawk as a label for an adversary's argument doesn't really mean much unless you can show a reason as to why the argument doesn't work. Okay, why don't I put it this way: I'll cut out the ad hominems when you stop acting like you're smarter than everyone. Besides, liberals are on average smarter than conservatives considering who we didn't vote for the last two elections. Who'd you vote for, sport?

Jenson Isaac: "Remind me again: What exactly did Moore do to "prevent those things"? Besides, of course, producing two documentaries (ahem!) riddled with inaccuracies and outright lies, that could have prevented the Virginia Tech massacre and ended the war in Iraq, but, for some reason, didn't?"

If this is all too complicated, I can make a documentary for you, though I doubt you'd understand the bigger picture. You'd get pissed because I didn't spell your name right and leave the theater thinking I was an idiot, missing the entire point of the movie.

I wonder if you see all movies this way.

Did you get pissed at the plot holes in the Matrix and go home to tell people, "People can't generate more energy than is put into them!" on some blogs and think you were the coolest thing since sliced bread? Guess what; you're going to have a hollow experience at the movies until you can stop concentrating on the miniscule details and see the big picture. Frankly, you're going to have a hollow experience and not grow in life if you get caught on minutia.

If people had the gumption to honestly think about the messages of those two movies, Columbine and 9/11, things could have been better. Had gun sellers not been complete idiots and done a background check, they would have found a documented history of mental illness that could have prevented the V-Tech shootings. 9/11, well I don't even have to explain that one.

Best movie, EVER.

No, Citizen Kane is the best movie ever (apparently).
