1. Michael Moore can go setup his false equivalency bettwenn Democrats and republicans up where the sun

don't shine, just like the asshole did in 2000, when he said a vote for Gore is a vote for bush

Just before the midterms he can't resist bashing Democrats before the Democrats

This is the guy who told us that Mitt Romeny was going to beat Obama in 2012

Rather then watch Moore's bullshit, I will be working for DEMOCRATS IN THE MIDTERMS, and actually DO SOMEHTING THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

2. I'll pass

3. I just came back from seeing this and I was not offended

However, I was disappointed. Michael Moore couldn't connect multiple thoughts any better than DFT. His criticism of the DNC was fair I thought. We all want to believe that the Russians are the bad guys here, but there is plenty of blame to go around. The bright spot in this movie is the students of Stoneman Douglas, they are shown as his shining hope for our future. His message of GOTV was weak and almost hidden in the middle.

6. That's a fair assessment.

It does lack the cohesiveness and humor of his other films. More of a "why people don't vote" than a call to arms on the GOTV issue.

I'm sure parts of it would make heads explode: Steve Bannon was a figure in the distribution of his first film, playing "nice" with Trump's baby ego on Roseanne's old talk show and having both Bannon and Trump praising him as a filmmaker.

I wouldn't say I was disappointed but I sure as hell didn't leave the theater feeling energized either. Maybe that's the point. Serious topics demand sober reflection.


I noticed that clip he played on Colbert's show awhile back did not make the final cut. The one where he infiltrated Mar A Lago to see the Pretender in Chief.

4. "..at risk." No Kidding.

You only have to read a thread about MM or the movie and you know the USA is in trouble. Here's a guy that has been promoting the PUBLIC INTEREST for decades, taking on the issues that the American government has been ignoring for decades and all the locals can say is 'We're different', even when history proves otherwise.

It's like Americans have never heard of the concept of ALTRUISM. Anytime some progressive does something for the PUBLIC INTEREST, it must be because they are feeding their EGO. Wise up America.

Let me know when your 'duly elected' government makes a documentary about the benefits of a free market medical system, or the importance of letting the manufacturers set the regulations in the market place.

Meanwhile I'll stick with Micheal Moore...

5. I agree

He focuses a lot on the Flint Water crisis which the media largely ignores. I applaud him for shining a light on these issues.

7. He just had another Town Hall in Flint, with Chris Hayes on MSNBC
