I'm an MM Fan, But This Was Nothing Special


Hi all,

I'll pretty much watch anything he puts out, but "Slacker Uprising" was nothing speical. I guess the parts that I did find entertaining were the Pro-Bush Commercials he did("Vote Bush, he let's other people do the driving.")and the Roseanne Barr bit in Florida was somewhat funny. Anyhow, I'm still a fan and this wasn't a terrible piece of work, but it was nothing outstanding either.

Cheers!

Well, I would have felt robbed if I'd seen this at a movie theater but:
-It was actually nice to see Mike again.
-It's an honest to god documentary! Moore hasn't set out to prove anybody wrong or to tear down the establishment, he's just showing stuff that happened, and for him I think that's a big leap!
-I forget which part, but about half way through, seeing all these people's hope and Mikes cries for "regime change", I relived having my soul crushed knowing what the outcome of the election was.

So say what you will about the movie being dull, that's kind of a good thing this time around.

Knowing the outcome of the 2004 and 2008 presidential elections, it was interesting to watch the documentary.

You could pretty much say that Moveon.org and Michael Moore's mobilization of people for the 2004 election was the precursor to the mobilization that Obama was able to accomplish in 2008.



No two persons ever watch the same movie.

I see exactly what you're saying. If you consider everything that happened between 2004 and Obama 2008, you make a very good point.

Cheers!

I saw him speak in October of 2004 in Tampa and the movie is a nice reminder of that event.

Nice,

I would actually like to see him speak live. Haven't seen Capitalism: A Love Story yet, but plan to do so.

Cheers!
