Name one movie she *made*.
Go ahead.

Jessica Simpson has never written and directed a blockbuster. So, as usual, Testeslikechicken is misinformed. PIPA anyone? That said she will act in a movie this summer I believe.
When you liberal Commies (other word fits, but would smash some toes) finally take over and open the death camps, he can be your minister of propaganda! Sort of like the Iraqi guy that said that American forces would never get there when they were parking in his reserved slot.
The People's Choice Awards seem to go mostly to crap that targets a social agenda. Most "people" simply ignore them. You guys would have a President in power (shudder!) if you could have voted a hundred times a head there too!

It is a good thing the People's Choice Awards were not tabulated on Diebold voting machines. It would be embarrassing for Dubya to win when he did not even have a movie.

Plus the voteing process would have some credibility.

Naw - as long as he comes back with b!tchy responses he sounds like he speaks the absolute truth.

Call that the Liberals Choice Awards! The rest of us didn't even notice until Moore's name came up.

Dukes of Hazzard. It's already "made" and is coming out this summer.
btw, to "make" a movie in Hollywood parlance doesn't always imply directed or produced. If that's what you meant, that's what you should have said.
And the point still stands glaringly obvious despite your gyrations. Jessica Simpson has made a ton of money - probably exceeding that of Moore - has gold and platinum albums (How many does Moore have?), and is starring in a movie.
Just because she can be measured as a material success, that doesn't mean she's not an idiot. The same goes for Michael Moore.
Oh, and I see my ATP&N stalker has chimed in and once again brought nothing to the discussion topic. Par for the course for him. :laugh:
Actually, I may take the effort to see his work on the big pharms. Depends on whether it looks like it has any solid basis of fact. His track record on fact isn't so good thus far!

To his credit, Michael Moore has brought attention and fame back to documentaries, and has energized people to take interest in educational films...there is nothing wrong with people educating themselves on topics they would not usually take interest in, particularly politics.
That being said, I totally disagree with Michael Moore's ethics as a documentary filmmaker...there is no doubt that he sets out with each film to present his partisan worldview, and I question his methods...people watch documentaties with the understanding that they should be factual in nature...his films are more editorial in content and format, which would be fine with the exeption that Moore consistently attempt to represent his films as factual documentaries when they are more editorial opinion pieces...you can find any number of websites and resources that clearly demonstrate his selective use of facts and tendency to utilize information out of context to support his arguments.
It doesn't help that Moore's personality is so conceited, confrontational and arrogant...I am glad Kerry lost the election for the sole reason that we were not subjected to Moore smiling smugly in every forum imaginable claiming that his film swayed the election...if anything, it probably energized more people to vote against Kerry, as there is very much a distaste in the Red states for Hollywood eliticism and politics.
Speaking of Hollywood eliticism, you will not find any of the anti-Moore documentaries nominated for any awards because they are not consistent with the "enlightened" worldview of Hollywood...most Kerry supporters have a great distaste for the religious right and its ability to mobilize people to the polls for Bush...but I find the attempts by Hollywood "intellectuals" and musicians to sway the election as equally inappropriate.
So let Moore have his statues...his film didnt alter the outcome of the election, many Democrats blame him for Kerry's loss, and most objective viewers now understand who he is and what his politics are...he might as well enjoy the Hollywood circle jerk while he can still enjoy the limelight.

That was reasonable. I may not entirely agree with it but thank god for a well thought out post that wasn't completely off the deep end.

Com'on testeslikechicken, anyone who read Conjur's post knows he was talking about creating a movie, not acting in one. Your Jessica Simpson comment was not applicable. Accept that your post was a failure and a waste of everyone's time.
And remember you don't have to come up with a comeback _you_ consider witty.

Awe, lookey. The one who always calls people out for rearranging his nick on purpose goes and does the same thing to someone else. Do as you say but not as you do? Is that it? Your lack of any originality is telling as well. Then again, I'd expect nothing more from you.Originally posted by: Infohawk

conjur's post was trying to imply that fame and material wealth are an exemption from idiocy. I showed him that was not true.
Can you guys see the big picture though? No. Instead you have to go on a semantic tack on the meaning of a word that was used unclearly in the first place in regard to the subject, because the actual thrust of conjur's comment was meaningless and clearly demonstrated the lack of thought placed in it.
My point still stands and I'm the one in the right. If you can't deal with that, too fvcking bad.
Nope. That's far from what I was implying and you know it. You were being dishonest while you thought you were being clever. You said he was an idiot. I don't see how someone who's an idiot could manage to actually make films that become blockbusters and cause controversy. I guess Mel Gibson is an idiot, too, using your logic.Originally posted by: TastesLikeChicken

Now you're the one being dishonest, your backpedaling as well, and making statements for me that I never said or even implied using the sort of logic you are accusing me off. iow, claiming MM is an idiot does not automatically make every director in Hollywood an idiot.Originally posted by: conjur

Idiots can direct/produce (which is want you wanted to actually say since "make," "making," and "made" is often used as a synonym for "acting in" OR "producing or directing" a movie, which I'm sure you are well aware of)" movies that are blockbusters and cause controversy. If you don't believe that you should become familiar with some of Tarantino's antics in Hollywood. He makes good movies but he's still an idiot, and an unapologetic one at that.

You keep deluding yourself. Go right ahead.
