  • Moore threatens to sue university if shut out

    Moore says he'll sue university if shut out Invitation to speak at school revoked By Lisa Petrillo UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER September 17, 2004 Cal State San Marcos is the first university in the nation to dump Oscar-winning filmmaker Michael Moore, and he plans to sue if administrators don't let him speak. "If they don't do the right thing, follow through on the contract – and we have a written contract and an oral one – then we will take legal action," Moore said yesterday. The issue has become a matter of principle to Moore, who said he believed university officials...

    OPEN LETTER TO BILL TIMMINS    To:  Bill Timmins,  president of Aladdin Casino and Hotel Las Vegas, NevadaJuly 20, 2004 Dear Mr. Timmins:           I understand from the news reports I've read that, after Linda Ronstadt, one of America's greatest singers, dedicated a song to me from your stage on Saturday night, you instructed your security guards to remove her from the Aladdin, which they did.            What country do you live in?  Last time I checked, Las Vegas is still in the United States.  And in the United States, we have something called ''The First Amendment.''  This constitutional right gives everyone...
  • The Nine Lies of Fahrenheit 9/11

    The Nine Lies of Fahrenheit 9/11Fahrenheit Lie #1 National Security Advisor Condoleeza Rice is depicted in the movie telling a reporter, “Oh, indeed there is a tie between Iraq and what happened on 9/11.” The scene deceptively shows the Administration directly blaming Saddam and his regime for the attacks on 9/11 by taking her comments out of context. Now read the entire statement made by Ms. Rice to the reporter: “Oh, indeed there is a tie between Iraq and what happened on 9/11. It’s not that Saddam Hussein was somehow himself and his regime involved in 9/11. But if you...

    Documentarian kept quiet after filming U.S. soldiers abusing Iraqis - Ruthe Stein, Chronicle Senior Movie Writer Sunday, June 13, 2004 Filmmaker Michael Moore said Friday he wasn't sure he did the right thing by saving footage of U.S. American soldiers' cruelty toward Iraqis for his controversial documentary, "Fahrenheit 9/11,'' instead of releasing the evidence earlier when it might have helped halt such abuse. "I had it months before the story broke on '60 Minutes,' and I really struggled with what to do with it,'' Moore said in a telephone interview with The Chronicle. "I wanted to come out with it...

    GET ready for the Fahrenheit 9/11 onslaught and, I safely predict, unprecedented levels of sycophancy for Michael Moore's newest agitprop. No Niger uranium WMD lies here! Moore's "documentary" will be gushed over regardless of how crazy the claims or how distorted the "facts". Moore has cleverly set the stage for the propaganda offensive by suggesting that the distribution of his "documentary" has been sabotaged by Disney – a blatant lie uncritically now picked up by our local media. Moore has been one of the most prominent beneficiaries of what Roger Simon – the Hollywood screenwriter, novelist and blogger – has...

    CANNES - Not everyone in France is in love with Michael Moore. The controversial documentary filmmaker has been the darling of the Cannes Film Festival so far, but there are those who aren't enamoured with his latest film, Fahrenheit 9/11. Jean-Luc Godard, the legendary French director who helped to launch the New Wave movement in the 1960s, had harsh words for Moore this week. Godard's latest film, Notre Musique, premiered on Monday, the same day as Fahrenheit 9/11. Later in the week, Godard lashed out at Moore at a press conference, calling him "halfway intelligent." Godard, who hadn't seen Fahrenheit...
  • Michael Moore, from Cannes to campus: Benjamin Shapiro exposes colleges

    Michael Moore is at it again. The fat, fraudulent filmmaker's latest hit piece, "Fahrenheit 911," apparently focuses on how the Bush administration has botched the war on terror. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Moore's film "reduces decades of American foreign-policy failures to a black-and-white cartoon that lays the blame on one family." Naturally, the Europeans love it. Many critics say that Moore's film is the front-runner to receive the prestigious Palm d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival; Moore's smear job received the longest standing ovation of any film in festival history, clocking in at 20 minutes. In the United States,...

    <p>"MICHAEL Moore Is a Big Fat Stupid White Man." That's the title of an upcoming tome from ReganBooks by Jason Clarke and David T. Hardy, the creators of two Web sites devoted to exposing the filmmaker's hypocrisy, moorelies.com and mooreexposed.com. "Moore shows the greatest disdain for that which he actually is . . . a very rich, pasty white American male," the authors say. Watching Moore spinning statistics in "Bowling for Columbine" and "Dude, Where's My Country?" spurred the authors to ask, "Dude, where's your integrity." The book, due in July, will expose his use of camera tricks, manipulated facts and spliced speeches. "Post-war filmmakers gave us the documentary, Rob Reiner gave us the mockumentary and Moore initiated a third genre, the crockumentary."</p>
