Aug 28 2009 'Capitalism: A Love Story' Poster: Is That Donald Trump's Hair?
Michael Moore is our chubby, petulant 8th grade boy-leader in the face of corporate/government thieves! What do you think about that, capitalist fat cats!? Oh, you're just going to keep on going how you have been, ignoring Michael Moore and his supporters? That's fair.
Aug 20 2009 'Capitalism: A Love Story' Trailer: It Turns Out This Economic and Political System Has Some Issues
Hey, it's the new trailer for Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story. Hopefully this latest documentary will do as good a job opening eyes to the flaws of capitalism as Sicko did at making everyone realize how obvious it is that all citizens should be afforded health care. That's the national opinion now, right?

Jul 9 2009 Moore's New Film Gets a Title, and I'm Sensing Some Sarcasm
Controversial, baseball cap-wearing Michigander Michael Moore has at least revealed the title of his economic collapse film: Capitalism: A Love Story. The director said in a statement:
It will be the perfect date movie. It's got it all -- lust, passion, romance and 14,000 jobs being eliminated every day. It's a forbidden love, one that dare not speak its name. Heck, let's just say it: It's capitalism.
Moore then added, "I would totally marry capitalism--except it would divorce me! And take all the money! Just kidding, folks, I just slept with capitalism last night--which reminds me: anyone seen my penis? I think it got laid off! Because so many people are losing jobs." Then he brought out an inflatable doll labeled "capitalism" and fed money into its mouth.
Jun 15 2009 Michael Moore's 'Save Our CEOs' Teaser Well-Received by Choir
As a staunch supporter of CEOs, this teaser for Michael Moore's still-untitled film has me so confused. If I can't trust men who own yachts and more than one pair of pants, who can I trust?

Sep 5 2008 'Slacker Uprising' is Worth Nothing
Michael Moore has announced that his newest film, Slacker Uprising, will be available as a free download beginning September 23. The documentary follows Moore's 62-city tour during the 2004 election, revealing how appearances by Aragorn and members of Pearl Jam somehow failed to mobilize enough young "slacker" voters to get Bush out of the White House. Here's the trailer, to decide if its worth using your modem bauds:
May 13 2008 Michael Moore: Sequel Documentarian, Probable Terrorist
I just read Michael Moore is planning a sequel to Fahrenheit 9/11, his 2004 documentary on the events of September 11. It got me thinking... what might this be about, since there was no sequel to 9/11. So what does he know that we don't? You just jumped right to the top of my terror alert list, Moore.

Jul 25 2007 Michael Moore Hates Homos. Er, HMOs
Michael Moore was on Hardball the other day, and, surprise surprise, he wore a hat. He also had some interesting advice for people having trouble with their health insurance providers:
MATTHEWS: If they're right now having a problem with their HMO, and they're not getting treatment for something they think is important, is it best to call their congressperson? What do they do to make sure the kind of thing that happened in your movie happens to them?
MOORE: Actually, what I tell people is, if you're having trouble right now with your insurance company, and they won't pay for something, go ahead and use my name, just say...
MATTHEWS: Say Michael Moore has been talking to me?
MOORE: Say that I'm coming, that you have talked to me personally. You have my permission to do that. In fact, at the end of this week, on my Web site, I'm going have a little like Sicko insurance card you can download, print it out, laminate it, and take it in and say that you're now part of my team, and that we're going to put you on the DVD if you don't help my child. And, so, I give blanket permission to anybody who wants to do that. Carry your Sicko card with you. And, actually, I got this idea because a number of people have already gone ahead and done it.
MATTHEWS: The guy did it in the movie.
MOORE: He did it in the movie.
MATTHEWS: Yes. Without your permission.
MOORE: And he just said, 'Michael Moore is coming'. I never met the guy. The guy just went ahead and said, 'Michael Moore is doing this film.' And, like a week later, the insurance company said, 'OK, we will pay for your daughter's ear operation.'
MATTHEWS: God, there's nothing like a little blackmail. (LAUGHTER)
I offer a similar service to anyone who's in an argument with someone who likes Entourage. They'll be all like, "But dude, it's got hot chicks on it and it's hella tight!" Instead of trying to argue with them, just hand them a card with my picture on it and say "Watch your back, motherf***er." Then let me know where they live and I will take a dump on their lawn.
Jul 17 2007 A Truce - Michael Moore/CNN Update
USA Today is running this story under the headline "Moore calls truce with CNN over 'Sicko'". The rest of the story makes it sound more like it was "agree to disagree" than a truce, persay, but it does point out a few errors in CNN's fact-checking of Moore's movie that I posted last week. See also the YouTube clip of the incident above.
In Gupta's report, CNN had said that Moore had reported that Cuba spends $25 per person for health care. In fact, the movie estimates Cuba's spending at $251 per person. CNN blamed a transcription error for its mistake and apologized for it on and off the air.
Oops. Take that CNN, smarmy jerks. Think they're "real journalists" because they wear pants and leave the house even when they're not out of disposable wet wipes. There are a couple other points of contention regarding the report, but the difference between $25 and $251 was easiest to wrap my booze addled brain around. Hope you understand.
Jul 12 2007 Michael Moore Hates Fag Haters
Taking a break from his busy schedule of buying baseball hats and not jogging, Michael Moore recently hinted to The Advocate that his next project may be homophobia in America.
I am not sure what I am going to do for my next film, but I certainly believe that I have no right to tell another couple whether they can or cannot be married. There is nowhere in the four Gospels where Jesus uses the word homosexual, nor the word abortion. The right wing has appropriated this guy. It makes you think, what someone can do in your name a thousand years from now. [Laughs] And they have used him to attack gays and lesbians, when he never said a single word against people who are homosexual.
If it does happen, you can be sure of one thing: Fred Phelps will make an appearance. And I'm sure he'll tell you that Jesus was just going through a rebellious phase when he wasn't gay bashing, because his dad certainly hates them.
Personally, I always thought homophobia was despicable. But I have to admit, the Hairspray posters give me second thoughts.
Jul 11 2007 Michael Moore Blitzes Wolf
Michael Moore was on Wolf Blitzer's show yesterday, and CNN made the mistake of showing a piece by Sanjay Gupta where he attempts to refute some of the facts Moore makes in Sicko with Moore sitting there the whole time. And I must say, Gupta does somewhat of a lame job of it - pointing out that Americans spend $6,096 on health care a year rather than the $7,000 Moore claims, among other things. Ooh, hard hitting.
Anyway, by the time Moore got on he was all full of piss and vinegar and basically berated Wolf Blitzer for being a p**** for fifteen minutes.
Jun 28 2007 New York Stock Exchange Bars Michael Moore
Michael Moore was scheduled to do a press conference today from the New York Stock Exchange in which he was to call for Wall Street investors and Main Street consumers to divest themselves of HMO, health insurance, and drug company stocks, but he was barred from it, presumably by NYSE officials.
I asked a few gentlemen who work on the floor for comment on the incident, but all they would do was make a series of esoteric hand gestures and shout unintelligibly.
Jun 20 2007 Sicko Gets Released Early
Michael Moore accused of hating America, tofu.
Sicko will be released in New York on June 22nd, a week before it was scheduled to be released nationwide.
Following Monday's night's premiere of the film in New York, Weinstein Co. co-chairman Harvey Weinstein, said, "Ever since the film began generating tremendous word of mouth we have been contemplating opening 'Sicko' in one theater in New York City and sneaking the film in the top markets across the country, and last night validated that plan."
In related news, today the doctors let the dude with supertuberculosis drink orange juice through a hole in his door. Mmm, orange juice!
Jun 4 2007 Oprah to Ruin Sicko
"I wanna eat a corndog this big."
Okay, I'll admit: I'm a Michael Moore apologist. Without getting too political, I think the rush to discredit his points tends to hide the fact that he makes some pretty consistently entertaining movies.
That said, Oprah is all set to provide the kiss of death. According to /Film, she's having Moore on her show tomorrow and is all set to champion Sicko as the must-see movie of the summer to her audience of barking, half-retarded seals.
Mr. Moore, may I remind you of one thing: this is the woman who brought us Dr. Phil, do you really want her endorsement? She really is the worst kind of pompous blowhard - the kind whose fame comes with an inflated sense of entitlement and the gall to tell anyone who will listen that you can achieve anything you put your mind to, just like her! Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and be more like me, loser!
Three frownie faces for that: ;-( ;-( ;-(, and one for ruining East of Eden, which was a great book before you lumped it in with A Million Little Pieces. ;-(
May 24 2007 Sicko trailer
The trailer for Sicko has been released, providing a preview of controversial filmmaker Michael Moore's attack on the American health care system. The documentary points out that for being the richest country in the world, the US ranks shockingly low in health care coverage, coming in just above Slovenia. Of course, as usual, Moore skews the facts, failing to mention how we absolutely pummel Slovenia in total X-Boxes sold.
May 11 2007 Early Poster Art From Sicko
Nothing sells me on a film like the threat of Michael Moore's chubby fingers maneuvering their way into my sphincter, so I absolutely adore the new poster for Sicko, Moore's sure-to-be scathing documentary about America's wretched health care system, coming June 29th. The one-sheet is still obviously without the text, but it will supposedly carry the message "This might hurt a little." The clever double-meaning points out both that exposing the truth of health care will hurt and that it's going to really f***ing hurt when Moore gets his hand up your ass, because he doesn't pull out until he's found either food or GM CEO Roger Smith.
Apr 19 2007 Cannes Film Festival Roundup
"We are/the Coen Bro-thers/Don't get a-long with others..."
The Cannes film festival is set to open in...Cannes...with a lineup of heavy hitting auteurs (does anyone actually know what this word means?)
The festival will open with Wong Kar Wai's first English movie, Blueberry Nights, and will include new movies from the Coen brothers, Gus Van Sant, Steven Soderbergh, Michael Winterbottom and Michael Moore.
Quentin Tarantino is also said to be bringing a special version of Death Proof that he created specifically for the festival.
One only hopes that this will be the version without 50 minutes of pointless jabbering. Jesus Christ, I finally watched Grindhouse the other night and I feel like I should've gotten laid at least four times over after having to listen to that much inane girl palaver.
Kurt Russel was awesome though. That dude's f***in' harsh.
