The Controversy

Yes, this blog is dedicated to the Michael Moore controversy..

*gasps in sarcastic horror*

Okay -- first things first: the disclaimers.. I don't know Michael Moore, not associated with him except for the fact we share the same surname.. I've never seen any of his movies, read any of his books, even looked at his website.. I know that his new movie has generated a lot of fire.. Other than that single little bit I really don't know JACK about Michael..

There..

As everyone is more than aware, he has made a movie that everyone is steaming about.. I've listened half-hearted to the radio pundits calling him "Un-American," "a socialist," and other unmentionables.. More than that, people are associating him with HATE a name that is generally reserved unless you fuck up something really bad.. Think about it: even Saddam wasn't associated with the word HATE.. Now that's bad..

Now..

What bothers me the most is regardless of what someone personally thinks about Moore, his movies, his political beliefs -- whatever -- I need to bring out this one important piece of information:

THE MOVIE HASN'T BEEN RELEASED YET!!!!

Ahem..

That is a very telling sign that people just want to HATE Michael Moore because he happens to be "anti-Bush.." So it has NOTHING to do with the movie because NO ONE could have possibly have seen it unless you got some sort of advance showing..

That's not likely..

So instead of being objective, seeing the movie for yourself - there's people out there condemning a movie long before it comes out.. It's a choice to see it - but personally I want to personally witness something before I use such a strong word as HATE...........
