#1 Every time I read something about Michael moore, I have an incredibly strong urge to smack him in the head with a large chinese wok, since my wife won't buy me a gun.

#2 I have to say again, I think Ray Bradbury should sue. Fahrenheit 911, indeed.

#3 Miramax is run by Harvey Weinstein, who is a Democratic Party fundraiser. I imagine Moore was having a hard time choosing between Miramax & Dreamworks SKG -- given the material and Moore's successful ~~fundraiser~~ speech at the Oscars, it's surprising this isn't being funded by a consortium of production companies -- imagine "Michael Moore's The Titanic was sunk by George Bush"

#4 Makes that petition to have his documentary Oscar revoked all the more important huh?

#6 I think we should applaud Disney for letting this film be made. What better way to wreck an artists' career than to use the work they themselves produce.

#7 The blowback to Disney over this will be intense. Disney is LEADING the charge in Congress for heavy handed copy controls on entertainment products and that Congress isn't controlled by Moore's friends.

I promise you, if this film is made it'll be funny and entertaining, and just as evil and boneheaded as Columbine was. The left will love it, but no one else will spend money to see it...Columbine wasn't exactly a big box office hit. This is a film for true believers in conspiracy theories and for Bush-haters. It won't have any impact beyond those who aren't going to vote for Bush ANYWAY.

Moore is an ass.
