Originally I wasn't planning on seeing this movie, but after hearing more about it and reading Roger Ebert's review, I think I'll go see it after all.

The review really highlights Moore's thinly-veiled attack on Bush and his administration.
I am going to see the film because it also shows alleged connections that the mainstream media has not, but if someone with as much savvy and zeal as Moore were to do such an expose' on Micheal Moore, I'd bet it would'nt look too good either.
Highlighting the gross and embarassing moments (like the spin-comb thing) undermines the film's message nad shows his own obvious bias.
Some "documentary".

I mean, truth in advertising.

Yeah, I guess maybe it's a good thing he's just a loud, over-weight, bearded guy from Michigan with a French film trophy and not, say, the President of the United States of America.

Too bad this loud, over-weight, bearded guy from Michigan with a French film trophy's opinion will doubtlessly sway many voters.
Too bad most viewers wont even try to research the validity of Moore's claims (be they true or not) nad will sheepishly accept whatever is presented as unbiased fact.

Be sure not to blame the electorate at all for being ill informed and easily manipulated.

I've never liked Michael Moore or his projects, and his likeness to Peter Jackson is just creepy.

They're both overweight, bearded film directors? By that comparison, I suppose they're both the modern-day embodiments of Orson Welles.

So I would welcome any Moore-counterpart whipping up motivation and initiative in Europe, sadly we don't have an isolated Bush-counterpart to work against, so not much struggle anywhere. Everyone's doing the best they can, but it takes such time to establish a new official league of countries. Much paperwork...
Well, we did try in the UK with Robert Kilroy Silk. Unfortunately, I don't think he was supposed to be funny...
