150 movies :glugglug

I too enjoy his films and books and you are correct...an entertainer...who has found a money making niche...which is what he is about...nothing more than that.

Curious how most posters are totally ignoring the statement which opened this thread: "If Michael Moore's Movies Are Propaganda So are all the other Hollywood movies with bullshit historical refernces."

Fletch did not say Moore's movies were not propaganda (which is actually a pretty harsh word for something that expresses an opinion), nor did he make any claims for the accuracies or otherwise of Moore's movies.

It's equally curious that most of the posts attacking Moore and BFC take issue with the classification of his movies as d o cumentaries, rather than addressing either his opinions or what he claimed as facts. Shoot the messenger if it makes you feel better, but the message remains the same.

Then there is "theking". Someone who regularly claims not to be a Republican, yet jumps on every thread that could be seen as remotely critical of Republican policies, always responds with the predictable Republican clichés, and has not yet - unless I blinked at the wrong time - shown anything remotely approaching balance in his posts. Propaganda?

It's a fact.. 'most posters' are not all that intelligent, it's not surprising the majority barely read beyond the thread title.

:)

Moore is entertainment, yes. Why? Because this way he reaches people he otherwise could not have. This form of entertainment-documentary is the only way for Moore to push his messages into the broader public while keeping to the essential business rule K.I.S.S ( Keep It Simple Stupid ) for maximum 'osmosis' if you will.

Not sure if anyone said it but, Moore did not call Bowling a hahahahahahahahaary. The Acadamy did.

Moore just makes movies based on his opinions.

I am a card carrying member of the NRA (who does not own a single gun) and found nothing anti gun about Bowling, all I saw was some common sense questions like

Why does Canada have more guns per capita then the us, but less gun deaths ?

that is EXACTLY what i thought when i read the title of this thread
that was the BIGGEST load of US propaganda bullshit I have ever had the misfortune to sit thru in my entire life


- I'd rather watch News hour with jim Lehrer :1orglaugh

Yes, Saving Private Ryan was a fucking AWFUL film.

It's worst sin was that it was boring.

I'm sure this was already said in this thread over and over but the whole passing Moore's drivel off as hahahahahahahahaary seems to keep idiots like yourself completely befuddled.

Before I head off to the big city, re-read my original post here. I said I had no problem labeling the entire list FletchXXX gave as propaganda as well as BFC. I merely inserted MY opinion on MM's presentation of the movie to the public, which somehow became an entirely different debate. :thumbsup

Movies like this are common.. They are popular, they sell, they get funding, they get distribution. These movies stroke the ego of the inner-patriot within many Americans. It's an illusion, but they lap it up because it makes them feel good.
:2 cents:

i liked bowling for columbine..

most of the hollywood stuff is historical wrong

And of course as usual we can expect you to jump in with a few schoolyard insults, but not the slightest attempt to justify anything that you say.

coool
