Moviemaker Michael Moore is entitled to his opinion. I even respect his audacity. I mean, come on? Who else has the guts to make up such garbage about any sitting president (unless you believe that former President Bill Clinton is innocent of sexual harassment — in which case Paula Jones, Gennifer Flowers, Monica Lewinsky and Juanita Broaddrick are all just as audacious).
I'm not going to sit here and point out the inaccuracies in Moore's film. You can get that on any number of Web sites or news stories.
Look, "Fahrenheit 911" is an overwhelming success, considering the historical market for documentaries. It's the highest grossing doc this side of Moore's last, "Bowling for Columbine." So, congratulations Mr. Moore. Like I said in the "Less Is Moore" Grrr column a few weeks ago, I was sure it would be well-made and entertaining (in spite of his childish response to the Grrr!).

F/911 is falling short of "Jackass the Movie," in terms of gross sales. Hardly an "overwhelming success." Moore is struggling to beat even "Jackass" at this point. The real question is: will the Jackass surpass "Jackass"?
That's another reason I love "Spiderman II." It sure kept Moore off a lot of screens.
I laugh at the people who say that I can't form an opinion about Moore's awful flick without having seen it. I've also never seen "The Eternal Jew" the notorious Nazi, anti-Semitic movie from the thirties, but I'm fairly certain it has quite a few lies in it too. There has been a mountain of discussion about Moore's crockumentary. Either what he says in the flick is true or not, it doesn't matter if one has seen the movie or not. If I ask a pro-Moore idiot if Moore makes a particular allegation against Bush in the movie, and Moore has, then why do I have to see the movie to get the same information? I don't have to eat a meal of rotten-smelling food to know that it will taste bad. The flies buzzing around will let me know how awful it is. The same with Moore's pile of lies.
