| Surprise - Michael Mooreâs A Liar! |
| 2004-05-05 |
| Yes, I know, a real news flash. Hat tip to Drudge: Lies And Moore Lies [Updated] Is bloviator Michael Moore making up stuff again? Sure looks like it. Weâd expect no less... Just days from the opening of the Cannes Film Festival heâs basking in a But not Disney itself? Seems like this is selective outrage, typical of Nader types. That, or sheâs smart enough not to bite the hand that feeds her. The Mouse House seems sophsiticated enough to put up with and even finance the slapshots by Goodman and Moore if a profit is to be made. Duh! Dissecting the current dust-up, it seems clear that Disney never intended to distribute Mooreâs film. Maybe the Mousketeers are cowards, but at least they are consistent. And Moore is whining now only to hype the pre-Cannes buzz. Sources report that Miramax never planned to release the Moore film, that it was always slated to come out through Lions Gate, as did the earlier Dogma. Noted elsewhere is that Clinton supporter / financial contributor Harvey Weinstein runs Miramax, so this doesnât quite jibe with me; youâd figure Miramax would snap it up and release it, oh, say, around October 20th, wouldnât you? Below find an exclusive full text copy of the article by Andrew Gumbel which will appear in Thursdayâs London-based daily The Independent which quotes inside sources saying there is nothing new in Disneyâs red light, that Moore knew it was a no-go from the outset. After youâve read Andrewâs piece take a look at this L.A. Weekly column I wrote in March describing Moore as the Ann Coulter of the left. (more...) Except that most men wouldnât mind having sex with Ann; I doubt that ladies that have any level of taste / self-respect would say the same about Flintâs answer to the Goodyear Blimp. |

| #4 Not that I'm an Ann Coulter fan (do like the way she gets under the skin of some lefties though) but at least she takes great pains to footnote the crap out of her books. I could be wrong but I don't think Michael Moore's book had a lot of footnotes to backup his various insinuations. |

| #2 Sources report that Miramax never planned to release the Moore film, that it was always slated to come out through Lions Gate, as did the earlier Dogma. Oh, God, that's just disgusting. Why anyone would put Kevin Smith's enjoyable films in the same sentence with Moore's unwatchable dreck is a mystery to me. |
