how hard must this anti-Michael-Moore movie suck?
it's frightening just to think how inferior "Michael & Me" certainly is be to anything Michael Moore could make.

http://www.townhall.com/columnists/larryelder/le20050825.shtml

<snip>

"Michael & Me" asks why, if America possesses "too many guns," is the murder rate among Japanese Americans actually lower than in Japan? And why, in England, with severe gun restriction, is the English murder rate growing, and the violent crime rate -- assaults, car thefts, hot burglaries -- now exceeding ours?

As Moore did in his entertaining film "Roger & Me," I sought out the director -- some might say "ambushed" -- in order to ask him a few questions. (You'll have to see my film to find out what happens.)

13. True: I have yet to come across one Yakuza thug!
Anyway, they kill with lightening fast ju jitsu!
No guns required.

2. Wow, if I watch "Roger & Me" I'd learn about guns in America?
:crazy:


Asshole doesn't even spend 5 minutes to research that "Roger & Me" was Moore's attempt to contact Roger Smith CEO of GM and ask why he closed the GM Plant in Flint Michigan (Moore's hometown). "Bowling for Columbine" would be the movie that this idiot is talking about but failed to correctly identify!

What a lame attempt to get me in the theater.

I'm sure their "research" was as thourally done as Moore's always is. The only response they ever have for Moore is "he's fat" "he's against America." Yep. Well thought out, researched, educated responses. :eyes:

8. The only reason it will be watched is because Michael Moore is in it.

10. It's hard to make a good movie...
When you have no facts to support your points with. Right-wing bluster might work in one-minute soundbites on Fox but they can't support a film.

:nopity:

14. This just shows, republicans have no original thoughts...
regurgitating a B rate version of Michael Moore's style under the guise that he's 'using his own tactic against him' is short sighted and one of the telling traits of a Hack.

I like Michael Moore's stuff because it's informative and funny at the same time. 'Michael & Me' just sounds vendictive and infantile.

15. For a fact to a liberal is like Kryptonite to Superman
He's right about that. Well, it looks like I won't be seeing this "fact filled" work.
