The cameras get turned on Michael Moore for a change at the South by Southwest film festival, where the documentary Manufacturing Dissent will have its world premiere. The film from directors Rick Caine and Debbie Melnyk, playing March 10 at the Austin festival, follows Moore during the release of Fahrenheit 9/11 and questions many of his tactics. Among its revelations: that the confrontational documentarian did interview former General Motors Chairman Roger Smith, the elusive subject of his 1989 debut Roger & Me, and simply chose to leave it out of the finished cut........"

Friends, Tomorrow night, those who sent 2,800 of our soldiers to their deaths -- all because of a lie the president concocted -- will find out if America chooses to reward them -- or remove them. As good as things look for the Democrats, do not pop the corks and start the partying yet. Do not believe for a second that the Republicans plan on losing. They will fight like dogs for the next 24 hours -- relentless, unforgiving, nonstop action to squeeze every last conservative voter out of the house on election day. While the rest of us go...

What's Moore up to this time? Helmer screens 'Slacker' at Toronto fest By STEVEN ZEITCHIK Could it be another election season dominated by Michael Moore? Filmmaker appears to be greasing the wheels for a hush-hush project called "The Great '04 Slacker Uprising," screening portions of the work for the first time at the Toronto Film Festival next month. Little is known about the pic, for which the director shot his 60-city student tour to college campuses and other venues ahead of the 2004 presidential election, documenting what fest literature calls the "the birth of a new political generation." While there...

Sorry, George, I'm In the Majority ...from Michael Moore Saturday, November 19th, 2005 11/19/05 Dear Mr. Bush: I would like to extend my hand and invite you to join us, the mainstream American majority. We, the people -- that's the majority of the people -- share these majority opinions: 1. Going to war was a mistake -- a big mistake. (link) 2. You and your administration misled us into this war. (link) 3. We want the war ended and our troops brought home. (link) 4. We don't trust you. (link) Now, I know this is a bitter pill to swallow....

Dear Mr. Bush: Any idea where all our helicopters are? It's Day 5 of Hurricane Katrina and thousands remain stranded in New Orleans and need to be airlifted. Where on earth could you have misplaced all our military choppers? Do you need help finding them? I once lost my car in a Sears parking lot. Man, was that a drag. Also, any idea where all our national guard soldiers are? We could really use them right now for the type of thing they signed up to do like helping with national disasters. How come they weren't there to begin with?...

Friends, There is much to be said and done about the manmade annihilation of New Orleans, caused NOT by a hurricane but by the very specific decisions made by the Bush administration in the past four and a half years. Do not listen to anyone who says we can discuss all this later. No, we can't. Our country is in an immediate state of vulnerability. More hurricanes, wars, and other disasters are on the way, and a lazy bunch of self-satisfied lunatics are still running the show. So, in the next few days, I will write to you about what...

Saturday, April 16th, 2005 Wassup? Friends, How's it going? Ready for the next step? Let me know what you've been up to and any ideas you have about what our next move should be (write me at the addresses below). Meanwhile, I'll be in conclave this week handing out goodie bags and running for pope. Wish me well! Yours, Michael Moore

Have you heard the latest? Michael Moore is a hypocritical racist. One of the bodyguards that Michael Moore has used in the past for personal protection, and who reportedly accompanied Moore to New York earlier this month, was arrested at JFK airport for carrying an unlicensed handgun in his luggage. While he was licensed to carry a weapon in some other states, he was not in New York. So what's the big deal? Let's see...how about the fact that Michael Moore, famous (or infamous) for films such as Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 9/11 and other equally distorted depictions of "reality"...

Pharmaceutical companies in the US are telling their employees to be on the lookout for Michael Moore, the controversial film-maker.

Democratic Party filmmaker Michael Moore is warning that the vast right wing conspiracy is trying to deny him an Oscar for his celebrated schlockumentary, "Fahrenheit 9/11," complaining that "top Republicans" are trying to intimidate the Academy Awards with threats of a Hollywood boycott. "A group of top Republicans took out a full page ad in USA Today (and placed a similar one in the Hollywood trade magazine, Variety)," Moore noted last week in a message posted to his web site. "The point of the ad was to say that while they, as right wing conservatives, were proud of getting rid...

HOLLYWOOD - Chopping logs. Taking long walks in the woods outside his home in northern Michigan. Reading the latest Robert B. Parker detective novel. Going to church on Sunday. And catching up on sleep. That's how filmmaker Michael Moore is spending his time these days. He's no longer sparring with Fox News' Bill O'Reilly or trying to sway opinion with his Bush-bashing "Fahrenheit 9/11," but is instead watching "Desperate Housewives" with his wife, Kathleen Glynn. Taking a postelection breather before launching into an Oscar campaign that he hopes will earn his documentary a best picture nomination, Moore is also preparing...

DIRECTOR Michael Moore, whose anti-Iraq war film Fahrenheit 9/11 touched off a firestorm of controversy, topped an annual list today of Hollywood's least-intriguing celebrities. The outspoken documentary-maker ranks No.1 on this year's Frigid 50 published by online movie magazine FilmThreat.com. The website, known for an anti-establishment take on the entertainment industry, said its list named the stars it found to be the "least-inspiring, least-intriguing people in Hollywood". Ranked No.2 was actress Halle Berry, who followed up her Oscar-winning turn in Monster's Ball with less critically lauded roles in such films as Gothica and Catwoman. "The Frigid 50 ice pack have...

"WINNER / BEST PICTURE 2004 ANY FRENCH FILM FESTIVAL"

GOOD MORNING: Michael Moore met with Harvey Weinstein and Moore says they plan to start working -- now -- on "Fahrenheit 9/11½." "We want to get cameras rolling now and have it ready in two-three years," Moore says. "We want to document and commercialize it. Fifty-one percent of the American people lacked information (in this election) and we want to educate and enlighten them. They weren't told the truth. We're communicators and it's up to us to start doing it now. The official mourning period is over today and there is a silver lining -- George W. Bush is prohibited...

Just heard on O'Reilly that a supporter for an Oscar nomination for Michael Moore's crockumentary is George Lucas. You'd think this guy would know better!

Dear Friends, If there was one group who really came through on Tuesday, it was the young people of America. Their turnout was historic and record-setting. And few in the media are willing to report this fact.

While the heavily scrutinized touch-screen voting machines seemed to produce results in which the registered Democrat/Republican ratios matched the Kerry/Bush vote, and so did the optically-scanned paper ballots in the larger counties, in Florida's smaller counties the results from the optically scanned paper ballots - fed into a central tabulator PC and thus vulnerable to hacking - seem to have been reversed. In Baker County, for example, with 12,887 registered voters, 69.3% of them Democrats and 24.3% of them Republicans, the vote was only 2,180 for Kerry and 7,738 for Bush, the opposite of what is seen everywhere else in...

Friday, November 5th, 2004 17 Reasons Not to Slit Your Wrists...by Michael Moore Dear Friends, Ok, it sucks. Really sucks. But before you go and cash it all in, let's, in the words of Monty Python, “always look on the bright side of life!” There IS some good news from Tuesday's election. Here are 17 reasons not to slit your wrists: 1. It is against the law for George W. Bush to run for president again. 2. Bush's victory was the NARROWEST win for a sitting president since Woodrow Wilson in 1916. 3. The only age group in which the...

First poor mikey's deceiptful movie failed to deliver the presidency to John Kerry. Then in his sad attempt at redemption, his call to arms for Michigan St. as retribution on Ohio failed as Ohio St. beat Michigan St. 32-19. So, keep it coming Mikey. The more you say, the more my teams win. Thanks big guy! I owe you some twinkies or something!

Michael Moore has broken his post-election silence in two messages posted on his website. The first, posted Thursday, listed his “first thoughts after the election,” which turned out to be the names of all who died on September 11. He ended the post by asking them to “forgive us.” A second message was posted today entitled “17 Reasons Not to Slit Your Wrists,” in which he tries, to no avail, to put a positive spin on the election results for liberals around the country. The “Reasons” include that George W. Bush cannot run again, that he had a “narrow” victory...
