Loathe. Arrogant asshole. His movies are shamelessly manipulative and not very entertaining.

Plot of every Michael Moore film, regardless of subject: "I know everything, and I'm awesome." Roll credits.

My Stance: Closet Manatee

Capitalism: A Love Story is awesome. His other movies are kind of short-sighted, but this one is more all-encompassing. All his movies are mainly appeals to emotion, mixed in with some facts. They're generally entertaining, though, so I have mixed feelings about him. And Capitalism was really entertaining and emotional, in a good way. It was more like a movie than a documentary. Had a good flow and everything.

Overall, love him.

I agree he is an asshole and most of his movies are manipulative but Bowling For Columbine was one of the best documentaries I ever saw...even if his acceptance speech was egotistical and more of an nannner nanner NANNER!!

I saw a documentary about some fans of Moore who did some research and found out some interesting things about his methods.........
for example in "Roger and me" Moore makes it look like he is constantly trying to contact the head of that car company with no luck, but in reality he had several meeting with him before he got sick of Moore and stopped answering his calls.

BTW IMO I thought Bowling For Columbine was stupid, especially the part about Canadians not locking their doors.(I'm Canadian that BS). He does a lot of things just for shock factor like when he pick on Dick Clarke cause an employee at a restaurant with his name on it kid died, common that was a low blow do you really think Dick Clarke had anything to do with that at all.

Sicko wasn't too bad, I makes France look like a utopia, I should look into that.

Stance: Used to love, now disgusted.

Muertos: wouldn't the whole Congressional badgering episode fall under "tu quoque?"

I totally agree with what you just said, a lot of times I agree with his message at least to some degree then he goes over board to the point of almost discrediting his message.
