In re Michael Moore's stuff. Years ago, having read his articles, I discovered he was just cockin a snook at EVERYONE. I learned a lot from past Talk Shock Jock: Alex Bennett (radio, San Francisco) - he was insulting to everyone, equally. :) But what made him adorable and funny was -- we all knew he was doing it for show. M Moore, OTOH, takes himself seriously. I guess he hasn't figured out maturity, yet. When he does, he could be rich and hilarious. As it is, in another way, he's rich and hilarious now offa takings from his cult followers who believe his ca-ca. There's no laugh at each other, no humanity in the Moore movement.
The fact that he tells such fabricated, non-substantiated lies is only part of what bothers consciously minded people -- the royal burn is -- he's hoodwinking many. In his own way, he's a modern day Elmer Gantry pulling a fast one.
Yes, I admit I'm one of those who's breath has never been altered by anything M Moore has to say. You know why?
I have him in the same commentary non-factual "columnist/psuedo-journalist league as Emil Guillermo.
Lastly, I categorized his "Fahrenheit 911" *(and now his newer film) -- as simply another "War of the Worlds" - just another "theatre" stunt..
M Moore thinks he's competing with Orson Welles.
Even in terms of girth, MM has a ways to go. Besides, has he taken up cigars yet? :P
