Zebra 3 - I'd love to hear Michael Moore rant again at the Oscars, or better yet, bring back his TV Nation.

mburbank "Thats another thing that got me. We get ragged on for a violent culture( Michael Moore has done this) and yet they praise Tarentino and let him MC the damn film festival."

As my Father often told me when I was growing up, "If logic is what your looking for, try the "Principia Mathematica", it's excellent."

Bobo Adobo Yeah, but then he makes the uninformed moronic point of the NRA being heavily associated with the KKK. Not to mention going to Kmart and buying all those 9mm rounds, and defaming the corperation.

When it somes to gun control, it seems like Moore has two contradictng opinions.

Sethomas Didn't he make a point to disprove that notion by showing Canadians to be just as gun-loving as we are?

Perndog According to Moore, violence in our society is caused by people owning guns.

I tend to call him a moron on that point.

According to Moore, violence in our society isn't caused by videogames, music, and movies.

I tend to agree with him on that point.

Abcdxxxx Michael Moore and a whole mess of Asian films won. The judges chair always wields politics at Cannes. What impact does it have? Not much.
I just hope Cannes allows him to use the speech on the DVD so we don't have another 10 minute dramatic intepratation of a thirty second speech like the one he did in lieu of the Academy Awards acceptance.

GADZOOKS Michale Moore is still a stinky fat pile of shit.

Or as you people would say, an induestrial size of Es Cargo

pjalne She once said something about not understanding everything that was going on in Iraq, but that everyone should support the president because he's the president.

Mel Gibson.
All the country singers except the Dicksie Chicks and Travis Tritt and that guy who wrote the song about John Walker Lynd.
The owners of Disney and Fox
Ok, yeah, Nugent and Murdoch. Disney doesn't count because they're just soulless whores. Mel Gibson almost financed Moore's movie, so I don't know exactly what his politics are. Country singers aren't a part of the movie industry.

But Britney Spears?

That's just three people. Add Tom Seleck to that list and you've got the entire conservative population of Hollywood.

mburbank Not that I don't think the film won as much for it's politics as for it's quality, but while Cnnes takes place in france, the Judges are a rotating panel. this year more than half were American or British.
May 23rd, 2004 09:56 AM
El Blanco Ya, but I also left out the lying part when talking about Moore, so it evens out.

haha, i think you skipped the most offensive quality that makes all the rest so annoying.. ignorance. moore lack of ignorance makes him an acception.

El Blanco I really wish I could find the link for this, but the NY Daily News doesn't have it on their site for some reason.

Anyway, yesterday, they had a quote from some British film critic and he said how funny it was that the French hoighty toighty crowd are always saying how Americans are fat, loud mouthed, self important, and obnoxious like its a bad thing, and then reap the highest praise upon Michael Moore, the man who embodies all of these.

Brandon An anti-Bush film winning critical acclaim in France? SHOCKING!
