"that fat guy" has a name, it's Michael Moore, probably one of the best non-fiction film makers of our time. Please be a litle more respectful.[/QUOTE]
Sorry to burst your bubble, but Mr. Moore's films, while provacative, are quite far from 100% non-fiction.
Lets call a spade a spade.

Jack Nicholson's One Flew Over The Cockoo's nest! Great Film!
I like Beautiful Girls, it's a great movie about guys who plow snow and the girls who they love. I happen to drive a snowplow. :-P It stars Matt Dillon, Uma Thurman, Mira Sorvino, Annabeth Gish, Timothy Hutton, Max Perlich Lauren Holly, Natalie Portman, Martha Plimpton, Michael Rapaport and Rosie O'Donnell. It's a great film but the DVD was only released in like Japan I think. I need the dvd as my VHS of the film broke.

Michael Moore is both a moron and a dick. And he's still fat. How's that for respectful?

I don't think I've ever mentioned this before...

Sorry, GP, "that fat guy" is NO film maker. He is simply fat guy with money that makes documentaries. And he sucks at it.

Have you actualy seen any of his movies?
Granted that Farenheight 9/11 is biased given the objective he had, but "Bowling fo Columbine" is a great movie, that realy goes to the bottom of the issue.
I personaly like the fact that he trys to listen to all the sides and oppinions on any guiven subject, or at last try since there are people who run from him like he had the plague.
Documentaries are films to, so he IS a film maker like it or not.
I'm not saying all his oppinions are right, and i agree with all he says, I simply like the fact that at least one person in that country is brave enought to speak out and get, at least some, people discussing what I believe are very pertinent issues, namely: Gun control, the Bush administration and how it came to be, and more recently the US healthcare system or should I say lack of.
Wether you like his work or not, agree or disagree with his oppinions, you have to admit that he uses valid and logical arguments. I simply love the way he cornered then president of the NRA Charlton Heston during his interview on "Columbine" putting him in a position where he had no argument to come back into the discussion, causing him to leave the room IN HIS OWN HOUSE.
Also the interview with the brother of Terry Nichols is abolutely briliant.

G-P
You said he was a great film maker. Probably the best.
You haven't given anything above to support that. I can video tape people also. I just don't prey on the weak minded, which is Moore's target audience.
I saw Fahrenheit 9/11 and thought it was crap. I could have easily rounded up just as many people to make it look the other way.
I say Bowling For Columbine. Once we got to the Corporate Office, I was out. He was grandstanding. Do you really think he cared about removing bullets from a retail counter? If you do, then I guess you're that "target audience".
You also said "I personaly like the fact that he trys to listen to all the sides and oppinions on any guiven subject". Where exactly has he done this? In the two movies I saw, that was NOT done. So his movies aren't true documentaries. And they're not movies. So what is Michael Moore doing exactly? Inciting. That's all.
