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...

Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore, following the Connecticut primary defeat of Sen. Joe Lieberman, issued a direct threat to his fellow Democrats: Denounce the war in Iraq or you’ll get what Joe got. In a letter to his Web site visitors, which served as fertilizer for blogs everywhere, Moore raged that Ned Lamont’s anti-war victory was the beginning of a revolution among liberals. Writes Moore on his Web site: "Let the resounding defeat of Senator Joe Lieberman send a cold shiver down the spine of every Democrat who supported the invasion of Iraq and who continues to support, in any way,...

To: xxxxx Friends, Let the resounding defeat of Senator Joe Lieberman send a cold shiver down the spine of every Democrat who supported the invasion of Iraq and who continues to support, in any way, this senseless, immoral, unwinnable war. Make no mistake about it: We, the majority of Americans, want this war ended -- and we will actively work to defeat each and every one of you who does not support an immediate end to this war. Nearly every Democrat set to run for president in 2008 is responsible for this war. They voted for it or they supported...

Michael Moore Statement on Canadian Election Friday, January 20th, 2006 Michael Moore is currently in production on his next movie. As an avid lover of all things Canadian, he has issued the following statement regarding Canada's upcoming election on Monday: Oh, Canada -- you're not really going to elect a Conservative majority on Monday, are you? That's a joke, right? I know you have a great sense of humor, and certainly a well-developed sense of irony, but this is no longer funny. Maybe it's a new form of Canadian irony -- reverse irony! OK, now I get it.

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"...

From Mike Wilson, Director: Wow... it's really good. I am absolutely blown away by how well “Michael Moore Hates America” has turned out. We're finishing our third pass right now. It's funny, heartfelt and moving… and better than I expected. Chris, Carr, Maura, Curt, Brian, Greg, Levi, Bob and I have created something that is meaningful, and I'm so excited for you to see it. We're coming down to the end of this journey, and every single person who worked on the film, who donated their hard-earned cash to help us move forward or sent an email telling me not...

Koch: Moore's propaganda film cheapens debate, polarizes nation By Ed Koch SPECIAL TO WORLD TRIBUNE.COM Monday, June 28, 2004 It is shocking to me that Americans in a time of war, and we literally are at war with Americans being deliberately killed in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere by Islamic terrorists, will attack their own country, sapping its strength and making its enemies stronger. I am not a supporter of the xenophobic slogan “My country right or wrong.” But I do believe, when seeking to make it right if it is wrong, that none of us should endanger the country, our...

http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=entertainmentNews&storyID=5479295 Cuomo Blocked from 'Fahrenheit' Appeal Tue Jun 22, 2004 04:18 AM ET By Ian Mohr NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - The distribution team behind Michael Moore's hotly debated documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" will face the Motion Picture Assn. of America's (MPAA) ratings appeal board Tuesday without its newly hired legal eagle, former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo. According to MPAA rules, Cuomo is not allowed to take part in the proceedings because those appearing before the board must be directly associated with the film. "They have to be actively part of the creation and execution of the film, not a...

Upcoming title at Amazon.com. Here is the editorial comment Watching Michael Moore in action -- passing off manipulating facts in Bowling for Columbine, spinning statistics in Stupid White Men and Dude, Where's My Country?, shamelessly grandstanding at the Academy Awards, and epitomizing the hypocrisy he's made a king's fortune railing against -- has spurred authors David T. Hardy and Jason Clarke to take action into their own hands. In Michael Moore Is a Big Fat Stupid White Man, Hardy and Clarke dish it back hard to the fervent prophet of the far left, turning a careful eye on Moore's use...

Last week, Michael Moore announced that Disney had refused to distribute his new film, "Fahrenheit 9/11." As with all of Moore's pronouncements, you might want to season this one liberally with salt. Moore — who poses as a heroic truth-teller and who in a speech last year after winning an Oscar for his documentary "Bowling for Columbine" bemoaned these "fictitious times" — is a virtuoso of fictions himself. As the filmmaker's fictions go, this one was fairly modest; Moore appears to have timed his announcement to stir up publicity for his movie's upcoming screening at the Cannes Film Festival, though...
