Most undeserving, untalented a**hole in Hollywood

Well if that's supposed to be huh? Then I'll explain by renaming his movies

Sicko
or how America's Health Care sucks and we should all go to Cuba!

Fahrenheit 9/11
Or how George Bush is to blame for 9/11

Bowling For Columbine
Or How George Bush and America is to blame for guns.... not the fact that you know, they were mentally ill and we should take of that...

And, um, I don't like Michael Moore either? But that's not what my "Guh?" was in reference to. I just wanted to know what this meant:

Guh?

Well, in the case of Michael Moore I think he uses our freedom of speech for all the wrong reasons...

I mean I'll be the first to admit our country isn't that great but he takes it to far. Blaming our country or our president for everything.


Oh yea, VIVA LA CUBA!

Plus he's a freaking jerk, look at him being more then me and rude at the late Mr. Heston from Bowling for Columbine



and him accepting a great American honor, it's always good to bad mouth a leader...




Yep, he just loves America

Actually, I think he does love America. Its easy to confuse a person who is passionate about issues and maybe just doesn't illustrate things the way some think he should, with someone who actually doesn't know anything and is just spouting off.

I'm just not that crazy about him... although I did enjoy him in About A Boy and Sense and Sensibility...

I fink he's just grate ... I mean he is so versatile that he played a marionette in a film

Actually in all seriousness I'm glad he does what he does ... it is good that an alternative viewpoint is expressed ... I take all his info and devide by half and you get quite near the truth of things.

For me it would have to be this vacuous vessel



It is incomprehensible to me why I have heard about this bimbette at all

He would love America if there were not white people in it. He had great potential as a whistle blower and documentary maker and now he's nothing more than a liar. (Reminds self religion and politics are not good topics and stops here.)

Anyway, my vote is for Ashton Kutcher.

I have to agree with Caity about Hugh Grant.

Nic Cage is pretty talentless too, although I think everyone who earns millions of dollars in my book is undeserving. No one deserves that much money all on their own no matter what they do.

As for Michael Moore, I think Americans should be grateful that you have a democracy that allows people to speak their minds and criticise their own country. I don't think he hates America, I think he hates injustice, and things like your health system does need attention. I'm not a huge fan of his films, they're too sensationalist but there's nothing wrong in making them so simply to bring issues out for an airing.

Thanks christine, honestly you really encapsulated a real problem in our country today. His style grabs people's attention to be sure but sadly I think it turns off way to many at the same time. It's tough to find an audience that will take the time to listen in this ADD/MTV/Cellphone texting/Youtube dominated younger culture of today. So people like me are left to defend him and honestly it should be the other way around. At the very least most kids should be seeing his stuff in schools just to get them talking.

Good point PW. Watching his films from the UK, it seemed pretty easy to me to see them as deliberately provoking. I wonder how many people have seen one of his scenarios and thought 'surely that can't be! ' and gone off to research some more on the net or read up about it? I know I have, and that's making people think about those issues.

Sure, he gets over enthusiastic at times. Watching Sicko he made it look like our National Health Service here in the UK was flawless, needless to say it's not, but that wasn't the point of the exercise. Moore wanted to say that Americans aren't being served well by your health services and the big business that runs them.

PW, I couldn't agree more. It saddens me so much to see my country burying its head in the sand and vilifying people like Moore. I believe he truly loves this country, and is using his polemical style of filmmaking (he's really not a documentarian) to try and slap people awake.

Instead, he's accused of hating America, being a Commie (oh, puh-LEEZE), blah blah blah. I believe he's actually a patriot. Folks who really love their country must be willing to point out its flaws, and should be infuriated when it doesn't live up to its potential. And that's what Moore does. In my opinion, he's using Free Speech for all the right reasons.

Gotta agree on that one...

Finally someone names Paris Hilton, who is my first choice for this thread...

Phew. Glad to see people here defending Michael Moore. I also think he loves America. Moreso than our government and those that are leading our country do. They seem to hate America, or at least the Constitution.

Thank god for people like Moore. He's out there screaming while everyone else is burying their head in the sand. And it really saddens me that Moore is called the liar for his exaggeration when the real liars -- and I mean LIARS -- are those he criticizes. And their lies are killing people.

And christine -- Hugh Grant and Nicolas Cage!!!!????? *cries* I love those guys!

How about Ben Affleck? I don't think he's an a**hole, just rather untalented.

That's the beautiful thing about freedom--you don't have to be right (or left) to enjoy it. You can even do it for all the wrong reasons.

Moore either ignores some of the things he finds when he does his research or he just does not do the right research. He blatantly uses sound bites and out of context blurbs to make a point. I think he has a right to do these things sure, nothing against that at all, he is just an arsehole in my book.

Love America! What an interesting concept. We often toss that phrase around and are quick to claim that we do but our enemies don't. But I suspect that we seldom really think about what it means. Do we ALL really love ALL of America ALL of the time? Or do we love some Americans and hate others? Do we just love "our kind" of Americans or a rainbow variety? How do you define an American, anyhow? Technically, a person in Peru, Mexico, Canada, and the Caribbean has as much right to be called an American as a citizen born in the United States; the whole western hemisphere is American. Can one be part of corporate America, make big profits, and still be American? Does "a real American" belong to a labor union or not? Does one have to be a capitalist to be a good American or can he embrace socialism, communism, or even the theories of anarchy and still be a decent American if he works within the system to change its laws? Must he believe in the Constitutuion and support all of the ammendments equally? He doesn't have to be a Christian or a member of any recognized religion or belief in a supernatural power at all--our Constitution addresses that issue. It also would appear that we each have the right to question and criticize the performance of our leaders, government and America as a whole, but we like that right best when it applies to us but not to those with whom we disagree. Can we be good Americans and yet try to censor the words we don't want to hear?

Perhaps the best thing about this country is that you really don't have to do much at all to become part of America. And nobody but you can say if you really love it. Or why.

What does justice have to do with health care? If health were administered on a just basis, then if one person has cancer, everyone else should have it, too. That would be just as "just" as requiring everyone have the same access to the same level of medical treatment. But it's just not possible--a small town hospital has less funds, less equipment and attracts fewer of the best doctors than does a big city medical center. Some doctors are better than others; some are more dedicated; some are just damn lucky, and some have a bad day with fatal results.

Our only guarantee is the pursuit of justice, not justice itself. Besides, as one of Shakespeare's characters once said, "If all men got what they deserved, than none of us would escape a beating."

Don't give me justice; give me mercy instead.
