What's that smell? Oh wait, it's just Michael Moore.

Here's the latest in a long line of things that annoy me: Michael Moore.

Here's a couple of reasons why Michael Moore is good: 1) he gets close-minded people to actually talk about issues they wouldn't normally talk about, 2) his overall message is USUALLY a decent enough one (Sicko is here), and 3) he can eat a human baby without chewing.

So I just got reading a [biased] list of "facts" Moore fucked up in Farenheit 9.11. It had like 50 things on it, and yes, most of them were nitpicky and shitty. But there were a lot of scenes in the movie that were particularly important and striking. Example: the golf scene. I thought until about 5 minutes ago that Bush was talking about 9/11, but it was about some terrorist attack in Israel and come on, they have like 10 a day over there. Of course he's gonna act casual. I think little fibs like this are enough to severely doubt the rest of Moore's work. Any time you lie about say... a date, or a statistic, you could just as easily be lying about something that would be harder to check--like any of the complex political shit in the rest of the movie.

My point is that Michael Moore is a prick. I'm glad Sicko wasn't bad and is actually a nice, non-partisan idea, but holy fucking shit he is a fat asshole.
