You really piss me off. Michael Moore is a liar. On top of that he could lay off the burgers for a decade or two and lose a few pounds

That is all.

If you dislike his films, that's fine, but given that this is a movie/film discussion forum, I think that there ought to be a bit more substance in your statement. Why you think that his films should not be categorized into "Documentary"? Reasons? Examples? Stuff like that ...

There. Posted in other thread as well. I can't believe people just take a movies word for it especially when the director has the shady past that Michael Moore has.

The thing is that so many people in the film industry have what you call "shady" past. Also quite a few people got arrested in the past. So, saying that Michael Moore (or anyone else) has a shady past, and therefore, his documentaries are untrustworthy is not a very strong argument.

I hate Bush, he is the worst president the United States has ever had. Michael Moore may twist the truth a bit, but by his extremely liberal views, he opens up our eyes to the problems that are present in this country. I think the purpose of his documentaries are to get people doing their own research and becoming more involved in their own government.

So discrediting Moore by calling him a liar (and fat - as though that says anything about his credibility or the effectiveness or credibility of the film) makes your opinion about the movie any more authoritative?

F9/11 is a brilliant film - like the message or not - it's no less politically warped than every statement issued from the most corrupt administration in our history. Bravo to Moore!

Michael Moore is a brilliant director and genius. That's why he made so many millions with his documentaries.
You may dislike him but the rest of the world disagree with you.

He made Fahrenheit 9/11 to provoke thought, opinions, emotions and heated debate. Looks like it worked then! Very Happy

I would say that his movies are slanted far to one side of the issues in the way he believes, just like other movies are slanted to the other side. Different opinions on everything, he just has a forum with the movies to promote his opinions (right or wrong)

Exactly, TVDinner! LOL! By this guy's standards, I guess something was wrong with Alfred Hitchcock, since he was not slim by any stretch of the imagination.

So hang on a sec, let me try so see where this is going.... If the Director is fat and likes to stuff his face with burgers, the films he directs are crap? Am I close? Confused
