Spinal Tap wasn't real?
Heck yeah, man! That was reality, don't tell me it wasn't cuz I know them dudes! I saw them play once, I swear on the Bible!
true .. but noone ever plays it straight by the rules. People bend them everytime.
Note To Self: Document Sid59's quote and file it away so the next time you find him complaining about some injustice, you can remind him that its 'okay' because nobody really follows the rules, anyway.

How does it feel to be an ignorant fool?

Don't know.. don't want to know..

Anyway, I stand by my original statement unless you have a convincing argument otherwise.

I'll just ask you one question. If making a movie doesn't involve work and these people make millions doing it, why aren't you doing it? Or why isn't everyone for that matter?

OMG! an online petition! i bet moore is REALLY scared! wow, if they really got their act together, they could even email it to him and that would really just totally scare him and make him give it back! or they could email it to the academy and they could take it back! i'm sure it would really work because people give TONS of credit to internet petitions.

Of course all this controversy does is make Michael Moore even that much more popular.... "No publicity is bad publicity."

I feel bad for the directors who made "real" documentaries and were either not considered or did not win because of Moore's creation
Come on, do you really feel bad for them??;)

I'm glad the idiots involved in this petition are wasting their time and energy in this futile and useless project, rather than going after something that matters.

You could make that arguement about anything. Learn to argue. You just make yourself look like another uneducated dork posting crap like that.

I filled out the form, but I changed it a little:

Dear members of the Academy:

Do not let the promoters of this site try to punish anyone who exercises the first amendment in this country, regardless of who agrees with Michael Moores opinions.

I hope you will stand by the freedom of speech, and not try to send a message of censorship to all the aspiring and existing filmakers in America.

Sincerely yours,

I love how this movie is discounted by some when 99.5% of it is factual. There is a cut and pasted Charlton Heston speech, a missle factory that doesn't make nukes when Moore says it does and a few other minor errors (none of which are critical for Moore's message) but the rest of it is true. People are afraid of the message of the film and therefore do everything they can to slime and slander Moore and Bowling.

The title of the movie isn't even factual... what does that tell you about the rest of the film?

The fact that someone like you is sniveling about it means there must be some Merit behind the fact that it was given the award.

More like singing to the choir. Others like him are the ones who issued the award. Kind of you like you looking in the mirror and saying to yourself. "I'm a smart person."
