"Shooting Michael Moore " , A great Movie
Shooting Michael Moore , or doing onto Michael Moore as he has done to others..

http://shootingmichaelmoore.com/trailer/index.htm
C-Spans’ Brian Lamb interviews writer/director about Shooting Michael Moore on Sunday July 29 at 5PM & 8PM (PST): - A biting, colorful expose of renowned filmmaker -
Davison, MI – July 26, 2007 - Kevin Leffler is a friendly, CPA, tenured assistant professor, and founder of an educational non-profit, who is a life-long resident of Davison, Michigan. Leffler lives outside of Flint, Michigan, Michael Moore’s purported ‘home town.’ That Leffler elected to finance and create a documentary about his old high school and work buddy Michael embraces a rare sort of poetic justice.
Leffler’s Shooting Michael Moore reveals another side of Moore. We learn that while writing books and shooting films that expose America’s inequities and presenting himself as a moral compass, he abused the non-profit status, engaged in questionable tax practices, violated environmental laws, and invested in Halliburton, oil stocks, leading drug companies, and HMO-chains. Additionally, contrary to his public persona, he used and deceived both the “little people” as well as U.S servicemen, and Flint’s populace is still waiting for him to bring promised jobs.
Though we soon discover that honesty and generosity may not be descriptive of Moore, Shooting Michael Moore is neither mean-spirited nor deceptive, like so much of the namesake’s work. Leffler is an amusing narrator, never angry or righteous, and his film is an expose, peopled with colorful characters as well as noted authorities.
We “visit” both Moore’s lakeside mansion on Torch Lake, Michigan and his penthouse in Manhattan and wonder if Moore is really anti-rich. Once we learn Iran and Osama Bin Laden praised Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11, we also question his patriotism.
After screening the documentary, C-Span’s Brian Lamb invited Leffler to appear on his weekly Q&A program. The broadcast will provide Shooting Michael Moore with its first national exposure.

Re: "Shooting Michael Moore " , A great Movie
I don't remember Michael Moore as ever coming off like he was "holier than though". Seems to me he never really focused on himself, but more on what others were doing. He may be exposing things, but I don't remember him ever having said "I'm better, I don't do that". Anyways, the world's full of people who live by the "Do as I say, not as I do rule".
This is bull crap: "We “visit” both Moore’s lakeside mansion on Torch Lake, Michigan and his penthouse in Manhattan and wonder if Moore is really anti-rich."
Moore's never been anti-rich. From memory, Bowling for columbine was anti-guns, Fahrenheit 911 was anti-war/anti-bush, Sicko seems to be anti bush again or anti-US policy on health care, but I haven't seen it. I haven't seen Roger & Me, but I think it was a union and/or an automobile factory in Flint Michigan which was targeted.
"Once we learn Iran and Osama Bin Laden praised Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11, we also question his patriotism." Oh come on!!! An after-the-fact praise of someone's work doesn't make one a supporter of the person giving praise. What kind of backwards logic is that??? What a ridiculously biased article! If Hitler went to see a play, and liked it, should all the actors be considered nazis? I'm sick of the word "patriotism" being thrown around to describe anything that isn't pro-establishment. "Patriotism" is constantly used as the opposite in meaning of "Freedom of expression".

Re: "Shooting Michael Moore " , A great Movie
I like Mike. I think he brings up things that need to be known. He's sure not perfect, but who is?
Something I've noticed about conservatives in general especially in the past decade or so, is they're becoming more and more bullying in their ways. They taunt those that don't tow the party line. When it happens to them, though, they cry foul like it's nobody's business.
But back to Moore... he doesn't just go after the republicans. In "Bowling For Columbine", he chastises the Clinton administration for taking advantage of the Columbine news coverage, using it as a media diversion while the U.S. drops more bombs on Bosnia than at any point during that war.
And I like how so many republicans come out against more and refer to him negatively in his physical appearance. That's probably why his appearance will never change. It smokes out those who are so mind-numbingly superficial.

Re: "Shooting Michael Moore " , A great Movie
I am not the least bit moved or surprised by what I am reading, learning about Moore. Its HOLLYWOOD. They sell movies, that is their job. I didn't peg him for being such a sucker though. I guess he wears a good mask.

Re: "Shooting Michael Moore " , A great Movie
Micheal Moore should be shot. I am not inciting any violence here but he is also playing with the emotions of many for profit.
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

Re: "Shooting Michael Moore " , A great Movie
I am not sure why I never liked that guy but I didn't. I knew somewhere in between all this reality stuff he was doing there lies the real story and it wasn't his story. O well he's a hoax.
