I caught it here in Tokyo a few weeks back. One of the few movies I have enjoyed recently.

So it's a very biased film, yes. . .

Michael Moore is now my hero for his Oscar speech. Even though it was a little much (right, more than a little) and not very effective, and so on. Gah, I wish I had the courage to do stuff like that sometimes. . .

I thought it was funny (the speech) sorta like a 101 on *how not to make friends in Hollywood* Guess if you're a real guy in a fake world you don't need friends in high places...

I hope you remember what propaganda it is and how much he leaves out in order to present the view he wants people to see. Like I said to you - I hope you view it as the fictional, half truth "documentary" that it is. I use the term "documentary" very loosely in this case. Moore is an idiot.

JD, not everyone has to follow your beliefs. you can think he is an idiot i can think he is a great person.i like the movie, you didnt. it isnt gonna change the world if one more person thinks moore is an idiot.

I know - but it would make the world a smarter place if another person thinks he's an idiot.

[edit: corrected grammar.

JD, really... don't hold back punches... tell us how you really feel about him.

I haven't seen it. But now, I think I'll go rent it when I get back home from my vacation. I wouldn't dare watch it here with my dad. He's a republican.
