    In reply to Michael Moore in Self-Promotional War with CBS
    I find those of you who take issue with Michael Moore a source of great bemusement--who else is championing causes of working class people, while sticking a finger in the eye of those buggering that same class, and doing it in a way that actually has some entertainment value, which, by the way is the only way to get anything done in this socio-cultural swamp.

    And for those of you who would deride him for injecting that entertainment value into a format that imposes a higher "journalistic standard" (words that have officially been entombed in the Museum of Obsolescence), he is only doing what he must to be able to negotiate the white water of producing a movie that has a minimum of intellectual heft: he is dusting it liberally with the sugar (his shtick) that the masses require before they will swallow any of it.

    I say God bless the man

    @TheSometimesWhy: What's especially ironic is that some of the people the most beaten down by The Man in the issues his films discuss believe that Rupert Murdoch & Roger Ailes care more about their interests than a scrappy (yeah, and self-promoting...) indie filmmaker.

    @Trai_Dep: Thanks for the promotion, Trai. Mille gracie.

    As for the people you mentioned and their love of Murdoch, Ailes, et al., those are the same people who will tell you what a great guy that Dracula fellow is. Yeah, admittedly he's got an overbite, and he has his own fashion sense, but the work he has done on behalf of the blood banks in this country would bring a tear to your eye....

    In reply to Michael Moore in Self-Promotional War with CBS
    I understand that most readers on this site are probably the children of the ruling class so that anything that affects the rest of us is mockable and high-larious. But those of you who have to work for a living and care about how the country is going will be deeply affected by Moore's newest documentary. Perhaps this is too earnest for the Marie Antoinette crowd (and I do know she apparently didn't issue that famous quip, etc.), but things are pretty serious out here. Yes, Moore is an entertainer at heart, which is why he is in the business, but he's produced a picture of America that is rarely, if ever, seen on screen. After seeing this last documentary, I felt sick with dread.

    You would think, considering Les Moonves' legendary "Golden Gut," that he would want to deliver this baby.

    This is gonna be the best season of Big Brother EVAH!


    Not only do we get the housemates, the drunken hot tub orgies, and the usual things that make it fun- but we also get to watch the Chenbot gestate her own future houseguest.


    Seriously, last year the most compelling characters were the guinea pigs. This year? the bot-fetus.

    @Nora Bombay: Last season, the funniest/most disgusting moments were when sexpigs April and Ollie were afraid that she was pregnant. I imagined a sonogram filling up the middle box on the Memory Wall.


    Now it all comes true.

    I sort of know one of the original Moonves spawn from the first marriage. I can only hope that Les does a better job this time around.

    @smartastic: She does have a life. She's a childbirth educator and attendant who smelled a big, fat rat (in go-go boots) the first time she laid eyes on Palin's pregnancy photos--as have so many others. She's just doing her homework better than Drudge or any of the others.


    Gawd, I love the internet.

    I'm thoroughly enjoying all of this as I believe Sherry Johnston is motivated into embarrassing Governor Palin in order to receive some sort of pardon or other governmental "favor" in her drug case.


    May Sarah Palin dig her lace-up, go-go boots in for at least the next 6 months, because this is some schadenfreude-eriffic fun.

    The closest he gets to "acting" is in porn. I mean, he's already got a fake-sounding porny name. And Valet of the Dolls, I'd put him on Randy Blue.

    @DaeSu: You may be right; he does have more of a "trade" vibe than a "guy next door" vibe. Unless you live next door to a meth lab.


    @Colander: Sorry!


    @DeltaGuy: Not twinkish enough for CF, imo, but I'm not really picky on this score.
    I just want to see his, uh, 'stickhandling' skills.
