Even as an aside, why bring up the question of his weight out of the blue?

In mentining how fat moore is, teh reagan is hoping to discretely trivialise him, because we all know that fat people are not worthy of respect or consideration. They are only there for us to laugh at.

No no, this is not a subtle or not-so-subtle attack on Moore. If I wish to do so, I will attack his flawed productions. I was merely astonished when I saw the photo. He appears to have gained a substantial amount of weight from when I saw him in Bowling for Columbine.

I love listening to the Moore-hating morons. These pathetic dopes can't muster an intelligent response to the facts Moore presents so they attack his weight and call him names. It's almost more interesting to listen to Moore-haters than to read or watch Moore's works. These haters represent the lowest common denominator of stupidity... they often watch FOXNews and vote Republican. I love watching them squirm and froth at the mouth when confronted with the facts.

You mean the 'facts' which have been blown out of the water time and time again when put under scrutiny, which causes the fat turd Moore to squirm and froth at the mouth in trying to make up more lies to cover up the lies we already know he says?

**Verto** · May 17, 2004, 20:56

That certainly can't be directed at me. I do not attack his weight, nor call him names. I don't watch FOX News, and I neither squirm nor froth when confronted by his "facts".

Do you even bother reading posts?

I don't know -- I sometimes get an impression that Moore is an extremist. And extremists of any ideology is . . . . . well . . . . .

MOORE BRINGS DOWN HOUSE: LONGEST STANDING OVATION 'IN HISTORY OF CANNES' FOR BUSH BASH FILM:

20 mins standing ovation for FAHRENHEIT 9-11, yelling, screaming, cheering... 'This is the longest standing ovation in the history of the festival! Unbelievable!' declared Cannes stalwart Thierry Fremaux. Moore, raising fist, unable to speak over crowd, vows to fight... Controversial scene in film shows wounded American GI in Iraq talking about how Democrats must win election... Movie shows video of U.S. soldiers laughing as they place hoods over Iraqi detainees, with one of them grabbing a prisoner's genitals through a blanket...

How unfortunate. Of course, this could have absolutely nothing to do with the negative view lots of people in Hollywood have on Republicans anyway? Especially with the Very Special Forces(tm) f--king up in guard duty?

**DinoDoc** · May 17, 2004, 22:07

"The Edukators" + this one convinced me the Cannes is merely a showcase for masterbatory vainity films of limited value.

I'm hoping people dont' take the whole angerpolitics genre of politics seriously

They aren't frightened of the left at all. That's why they jumped at the chance to make 'The Passion'. Oh wait...

Why, we aren't opposed to The Passion.

So as to satiate my curiosity. He looks overwhelmingly, perhaps morbidly, obese.

It's just a horrible angle. It's taken from above him, so it makes it look like he has no neck and that he's much bigger in front.

It's a far right wing look at Jesus. Made the conservatives happy. Pissed off the Jewish leadership, which in the US tends to be liberal.

Disney does NOT like controversy, and it knew that The Passion would incite some.

DOGMA:

BoxOffice: 30mil
ProductionBudget: 10mil
Marketing: 12mil

Profit: 8mil

BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE:

BoxOffice: 57mil
ProductionBudget: 3mil
Marketing: unknown

Profit: ~40-50mil

By what reasoning do you arrive at the conclusion that FAHRENHEIT 9/11 will make less than DOGMA?
