Michael Moore’s most recent piece of political propaganda debuts today in France. (Natch) The “crock-umentary will be shown at Cannes and will likely be discussed as fact on Tod’s (Here ya go Tod-Hunter.net) sites and the many sites he quotes on a daily basis. The merits of Moore’s film will be discussed, but given his history for pulling shit out of his ass, I’m sure there will be plenty to laugh at.
For the NY Times fawning report, see Moore’s New Movie.
For a closer look at how Moore turns fiction into “documentary” films, check out Bowling for Truth.
And a different kind of movie that will not get the support from certain people, check out Michael Moore Hates America.
On a related issue, the three teachers now accused of showing or making available the Berg video are quite different. According to stories, only one teacher actually showed the video in class. Another gave her students the web site so they could see it on their own. That teacher may have used bad judgement, but shouldn’t be fired. The moron who actually showed in a high school class though….should be axed. Yeah, there is more to this, but if Playboy in class is obscene, then graphic violence is just as bad. If the school board refuses to do anything then Mr. Ashcroft should. If anything is obscene in this country, it is showing such material to children.
