Buh . . . but . . . I thought Michael Moore didn't care about profits!

Actually issues don't matter here. Michael Moore trashes big business for same thing he's guilty of: wanting to make money. Al Gore lectures everyone on energy and burning fossil fuels, and uses enough power in his home to run a carrier.

Hypocrites.

 

OK. It's 56.6%. But you miss of course the larger point--that Michael Moore's "Roger & Me" was self financed.

Try harder.

 

I'm going to ignore the Gore reference because it's irrelevant to this topic---but introducing irrelevancies is your hallmark around here

This may come as a a surprise to you but attacking bloated, inefficient and immoral big businesses and being an entrepreneur are not mutually exclusive.

This does not make Moore a hypocrite.

Moore may be a lot of things--egregious self-promoter being one of them-- but the "hypocrite" label is a lazy pejorative for the right-wingers who have run out of actual arguments

 

Why should I?

You stole that "Try harder" line from elsewhere. No need to respect your use of it with anything but dismissal.

 

Well, the source of "try harder" is up in the air. I think I used it back on sportspages.com, sometime before you were probably born

But if attacking that phrase instead of, you know, accepting responsibility for your dumbass thread title and your attempt to justify it makes you feel better, be my guest.

 

As you prove daily, age does not necessarily equate to knowledge or class.

 

Can you get any more juvenile? What's next, "So is your mother?"

Your posts get funnier by the moment.

Word of advice: after you've started a thread with an idiotic title, try and let it die a slow death.

Trust me on this.

 

If that ever happens, I'll be sure to take that under consideration.

As for your accusations of me being "juvenile": apparently, age also does not lead to self-awareness. You couldn't possibly be serious with that, right? Not after you started with the whole . . . aw, forget it.

There's really no point, now is there? You'll continue to post as if anyone should actually listen, and I will continue to be amused at your vain attempts to be important.

 

So ... Michael Moore?

 

Ol' Ann . . . whatever happend to him?

 

The November 4, 1996 article in New York Magazine is called "Mouth of the Left" and it's fascinating. You can read it through Google books.

That being said, the Weinstein brothers have an even worse rep. Though they're deservedly credited with actually loving films and indie movies, almost everyone has a horror story about dealing with them.

In this case, it's one egomaniac taking over two more about the fact he probably didn't get paid a slender amount of the obscene profits he was legally owed. It's not a pretty sight.
