Michael Moore: good or bad?

[MrMaelstrom]

I posted those pics. She didn't complain... :wink:

[OnixxFilth]

It wasn't that post right above I was responding to- I was responding to Al's post a little earlier in the thread.

i remember this thread. i got an official gothic.net welcome here AND got to fight with tstone and maelstrom - mostly tstone. ah... memories.

i still think the fat bastard should have his head stomped.

[OnixxFilth]

Yeah, well, seems like everyone gets in fights when they first got on here- sometimes even when they've been here for awhile! I definitely have.

[Solumina]

I remember when I was new...I kind of got into a bitch fight with tea but now we love each other...funny how things work out

X,
Team America: World Police.

The film features an absolutely hilarious portrayal of Michael Moore in it, which is what you see dancing around in that gif with hotdogs in each hand.

[CptSternn]

That movie rocked. A fine example of Parker/Stone humour.

Speaking of, do they still show 'Thats My Bush' stateside? That show is feckin brilliant as well! It comes on here at 3am, so most people have to tape it.

I'm looking forward to the second season, which has been held up due to the legal battle around it, that shows the daughters as incestuous lesbians who drink and party all the time.

You no longer have the right to critisize sternn about bringing up Bush in every politics thread, because YOU just brough POLITICS into a movie thread.

Thanks so much and have a nice day. :roll:

A thread about who? What was his name again? I forget, what kind of messages does he have in his "films"? Were they- oh that's right, POLITICAL.



And I will say and do whatever I want whenever I want.

[Solumina]

And so will everyone else

[Solumina]

I’m glad that I "orally inspire" you

[Binkie]

Yeah, not to mention "That's My Bush" often sneaks conservativism into the show alot of times. I cite the episode where the two sides of abortion met to discuss the politics surrounding the issue face to face at the white house. It was a hardcore stereotypical feminist vs. an aborted fetus. The fetus was the much more likable character and completely tore down the feminist on the issue again and again.

That was show was pretty funny. They were airring episodes again around election-time and a little bit after, but I think they stopped again to make room for dumbass shows like "The Hollow Men."

[CptSternn]

That was one of my fav epsidoes. Of course the best is the one on Euphanasia, which bush keeps asking about 'the youth in asia'. Then hires kevorkian to execute his wifes 'furry pink taco'.

Hahah.. yeah, that one was pretty good too. There weren't many episodes of "That's My Bush" that weren't absolutely funny as hell. I'm hoping the show goes on a second season soon, but I don't know how those two can continue to produce both South Park and that at the same time (as well as movies on the side).

[CptSternn]

They are being held up over legal reasons. The bush admin has personally sent offers, then threats about making any more shows. Thats when Stone/Parker decided the next season was going to feature the daughters as incestous lesbians who drink and do drugs constantly.

Then Comedy Central stepped in after pressure and now the whole thing is on hold.

Hopefully they will fight the power and just produce it anyway!

[Binkie]

Where do you keep hearing that they're coming out with a second season? It's be so god damn long since the end of the first one that I'd figure they would have just given up on it.

Wouldn't feel the same after so long once you start thinking about it. Especially if they scrap lines like: "One of these days, Laura, I'm gonna punch you in the face!""

Fuel for the Fire. A letter from Michael Moore:





"To All My Fellow Americans Who Voted for George W. Bush:

On this, the fourth anniversary of 9/11, I'm just curious, how does it feel?

How does it feel to know that the man you elected to lead us after we were attacked went ahead and put a guy in charge of FEMA whose main qualification was that he ran horse shows?

That's right. Horse shows.

I really want to know -- and I ask you this in all sincerity and with all due respect -- how do you feel about the utter contempt Mr. Bush has shown for your safety? C'mon, give me just a moment of honesty. Don't start ranting on about how this disaster in New Orleans was the fault of one of the poorest cities in America. Put aside your hatred of Democrats and liberals and anyone with the last name of Clinton. Just look me in the eye and tell me our President did the right thing after 9/11 by naming a horse show runner as the top man to protect us in case of an emergency or catastrophe.

I want you to put aside your self-affixed label of Republican/conservative/born-again/capitalist/ditto-head/right-winger and just talk to me as an American, on the common ground we both call America.

Are we safer now than before 9/11? When you learn that behind the horse show runner, the #2 and #3 men in charge of emergency preparedness have zero experience in emergency preparedness, do you think we are safer?

When you look at Michael Chertoff, the head of Homeland Security, a man with little experience in national security, do you feel secure?

When men who never served in the military and have never seen young men die in battle send our young people off to war, do you think they know how to conduct a war? Do they know what it means to have your legs blown off for a threat that was never there?

Do you really believe that turning over important government services to private corporations has resulted in better services for the people?

Why do you hate our federal government so much? You have voted for politicians for the past 25 years whose main goal has been to de-fund the federal government. Do you think that cutting federal programs like FEMA and the Army Corps of Engineers has been good or bad for America? GOOD OR BAD?

With the nation's debt at an all-time high, do you think tax cuts for the rich are still a good idea? Will you give yours back so hundreds of thousands of homeless in New Orleans can have a home?

Do you believe in Jesus? Really? Didn't he say that we would be judged by how we treat the least among us? Hurricane Katrina came in and blew off the facade that we were a nation with liberty and justice for all. The wind howled and the water rose and what was revealed was that the poor in America shall be left to suffer and die while the President of the United States fiddles and tells them to eat cake.

That's not a joke. The day the hurricane hit and the levees broke, Mr. Bush, John McCain and their rich pals were stuffing themselves with cake. A full day after the levees broke (the same levees whose repair funding he had cut), Mr. Bush was playing a guitar some country singer gave him. All this while New Orleans sank under water.

It would take ANOTHER day before the President would do a flyover in his jumbo jet, peeking out the widow at the misery 2500 feet below him as he flew back to his second home in DC. It would then be TWO MORE DAYS before a trickle of federal aid and troops would arrive. This was no seven minutes in a sitting trance while children read "My Pet Goat" to him. This was FOUR DAYS of doing nothing other than saying "Brownie (FEMA director Michael Brown), you're doing a heck of a job!"

My Republican friends, does it bother you that we are the laughing stock of the world?

And on this sacred day of remembrance, do you think we honor or shame those who died on 9/11/01? If we learned nothing and find ourselves today every bit as vulnerable and unprepared as we were on that bright sunny morning, then did the 3,000 die in vain?

Our vulnerability is not just about dealing with terrorists or natural disasters. We are vulnerable and unsafe because we allow one in eight Americans to live in horrible poverty. We accept an education system where one in six children never graduate and most of those who do can't string a coherent sentence together. The middle class can't pay the mortgage or the hospital bills and 45 million have no health coverage whatsoever.

Are we safe? Do you really feel safe? You can only move so far out and build so many gated communities before the fruit of what you've sown will be crashing through your walls and demanding retribution. Do you really want to wait until that happens? Or is it your hope that if they are left alone long enough to soil themselves and shoot themselves and drown in the filth that fills the street that maybe the problem will somehow go away?

I know you know better. You gave the country and the world a man who wasn't up for the job and all he does is hire people who aren't up for the job. You did this to us, to the world, to the people of New Orleans. Please fix it. Bush is yours. And you know, for our peace and safety and security, this has to be fixed. What do you propose?

I have an idea, and it isn't a horse show.

Yours,
Michael Moore"

Some reading material for those who might wish to dispute facts.

THE FOLLOWING IS THE LINE BY LINE FACTUAL BACKUP FOR 'FAHRENHEIT 9/11'

[Nardol]

I don't like him at all. His movies are largely based on circumstantial evidence. I think he is a paid-off slandering puppet for either the DNP or the extreme left.

On a satirical note: while watching "Bowling for Columbine" me and my friends got bored of listening to him beat around the bush concerning gun control and "crazy white folk" and instead went outside to play with guns. HA!

[Disfunction]

*my friends and I

Hmmm... I wouldn't call Michael Moore extreme left. To be honest, I can't really say that he's anything at all resembling the extreme left.

[Nardol]

Are you kidding? If there weren't already an extreme left Micheal Moore would become it. Gun control, anti-republicanism and a refusal to criticize the democrats about anything? He DEFINES out of whack liberal idiots with half baked conspiracy theories. Mind you I don't even disagree with the most of the "facts" he brings up, or thier relevance, but he seems to entirely ignore the arguments against whatever crap he is saying at the time, he just prattles on. Unfortunately this sort of thing is perfect for herding the "TV tells me what to think" masses.
