I havent seen the movie yet, but from what I hear it is far from a documentary...

Probably for the same reason you don't give your extra cheeseburger money to the skinny homeless people who could use it more.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Like I said to the other moron... This thread is for ppl with a brain... So get lost moron......

you can ask that all the celebs that donate money

britney donates 20k for charity.. oh great she has 100 million on his bank

others spending 30k for children in africa and they've 50 million..

and then they're all collecting money for their charity actions but they've 100x more on the bank then all the normal ppl donate..

is he even an american citizen?

fo shizzle :glugglug

Why are making money and doing what you believe is right two different things? One can't possibly do something meaningful, get a message out, and make money all at the same time?

Really, cuz the press are declaring it a documentary. Direct from CNN:

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" took in a whopping $21.8 million in its first three days, becoming the first documentary ever to debut as Hollywood's top weekend film.

DOCUMENTARY. Strange eh?

Doesnt that add a bit of suspicion to the motive behind it?

The money

If you had more than a trolls brain, you might have gotten the message of my message. :2 cents:

A true patriot would have fought for the King instead of the measley 13 upstart colony states.
A true patriot would have shot bullets into the people dumping the kings tea into boston harbour.

A true american will speak out and stand up for whats right, DESPITE the lemmings spouting garbage in all directions because they're told to.

Bush tried to block the congressional 9/11 committee, but when he lost that fight, he still blacked out 28 complete pages believed to have pertained to the Saudi government.

Bush tried to also block the bi-partisan 9/11 committee brought on behalf of the victims of 9/11 and their familes. He lost that fight too and still refused to testify under oath. He wouldnt even go on camera. He wouldnt even speak to them alone. He would only speak to them with Cheney there to help him.

Corruption stinks! Wheres your backbone?

Some ppl are surely dense...

Do you even know what a documentary is? This was hardly a documentary. Moore would not even call it a documentary.

This thread has been declared the no spin. So please take that jibber jabber else where... This thread is not about bush, cheney or anyone else... It is about Moore and why he only made the movie to profit from it.

And he doesn't insert factional matter, so.....whats your point Rush?

oh, I get it . . . if it is in the paper it must be true.

Look up the word

If he is not then it gives even more doubt as to motives behind this movie.

Headless, Michale Moore has already said the motive behind the movie. Whats your point again?

What he said.

You give true meaning to the term sheep here on gfy. Can you not base your own opinions on all facts at hand? Why do you insist on calling me rush? Is it the cool thing to do?

I'm sure he donates to charity. He seems to live a pretty simple life to me...I don't see him wearing designer labels or flying around in a private jet. His cars are modest enough...and I'm sure he donates plenty to charity, including his own causes.

i always thought he was canadian.

First it looked like this thread was about why he didnt donate money to familes. Well he does..
Then there was a patriotic issue, well thats clearly BS too as I pointed out.
Now what? That the movie makes money? Only because people go to see it! LOL

Presenting facts objectively


ob·jec·tive ( P ) Pronunciation Key (b-jktv)
adj.
Of or having to do with a material object.
Having actual existence or reality.

Uninfluenced by emotions or personal prejudices: an objective critic.

Entry: objectively
Function: adverb
Definition: impartially
Synonyms: considerately, detachedly, disinterestedly, dispassionately, equitably, even-handedly, indifferently, justly, neutrally, open-mindedly, soberly, squarely, with impartiality, with objectivity, without favor, without prejudice

I hope English is not your native tongue, because you really have not grasped the meaning of some pretty basic words

I'll retract my Rush statement, however, the cool thing to do seems to be throwing twinkies and fat jokes into the thread - however, I won't bother with that crap. I simply replied to your definition of Documentary stating that the movie fits that definition....and now that you got nothing to retaliate with, you'll come at me with the sheep shit? Way to go slick :thumbsup

Nah, he just loves canadians.

that would explain a lot

He never claimed it was an objective view of the facts.

It's HIS view of the facts. No apologies for it either. Does Fox news apologize for slanted views? :winkwink:

Um remind me... who threw out garbage comments first Mr. Rush?

I think I answered the question for you if you were not satisfied with his response

and I said in previous posts, that he'll be the first to admit that the movies are slanted to his views...just as Rush would admit that his shows are slanted to his views...they're both out of the closet with their views - why penalize one but not the other?

They don't claim to be a documentary either . . . . I highly doubt Moore even considers his crap to be a documentary . . . why the Movie Academy deems fit to give him an award for a documentary is beyond me

And I retracted it, and I'd be better suited being called Mr. Moore vs. Rush due to my views...but it's all good.

My only purpose here is to dispute your (or anyone else's) assertion that F 9/11 is a documentary

Think for yourself much do you?

Atleast your honest about it.

AH ok well.. it's been called a documentary by the movie industry itself. They'd have to answer that one. I dont think any of us are more qualified.

And some proceeds do go to victims of 9/11.

Plenty of sig views though :1orglaugh
:winkwink:

STFU!

So true.


You've gone from wondering why Moore, isn't donating 100% of the films proceeds to charity (Since you like playing with dicts, you might look up "capitalisim") , to suggesting that he receives 100% of the box office dollar amounts, to dodging a very similar right-wing comparison ( Rush), and finally to attacking it's classification as a documentry.

http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/la...ndex.php?id=26



So Headless ( or shitless? ), how much do you give ???/

Or how much Dubya gives ( of his own money ...).... Or to that effect anybody else gives???

Respect the man even if you disagree with his political views. :2 cents:

Well, I guess directfiesta answered all that, big up. :winkwink: :thumbsup :glugglug

However, I remember the lefties were bitching about it's R-rating classification...

I thought that was completely justified after seeing the gorey pictures of the dead and wounded.

But aren't those clips for the news that were played over and over again???

Oups, sorry, they were probably only showed once, because it is not good for the war to show this.

What was showed over and over again was Jannet's nipple and Howard Dean's scream...

LOL...

Thats why Ive been downloading it for a few hours now... So :321GFY with your comments here and there...

Did you see the posts about the money that went to charity? That answer you questions now?

Nah man, DF hasn't answered a thing because it's not 100% of the proceeds...

This person who started this thread doesn't understand why Moore isn't giving away 100% of the proceeds to charity.

:winkwink:
