Michael Moore was hilarious


Oh my god I haven't laughed that hard at a show!

reply

Woulda been hilarious, until I contemplated Ramona Flowers's sentiments regarding that F9/11 dude( chunked a polaroid of a dead twelve year old on Charlton Heston's porch, can't get much classier than that!!) pulling her panties down to her ankles on national TV. Goes without saying, keeping dinner down was tough that night

Correction: Bowling for Columbine was the movie in which Moore shamelessly exploited the murdered and maimed body of Kayla Rollins; to this day, he's offered no evidence linking the late Charlton Heston to this tragedy, unless one now wants to blame Syed Quteb for 9/11. Fahrenheit was his subsequent production managed to be even less credible than all his prior exercises in dissembling:

You sound like Gareth, if Gareth was a not hot message board commenter.

Much obliged for the compliment, even if you've never actually seen a photo of me. MM and I are actually in agreement on more than a couple of topics, nonetheless this doesn't mitigate the despicability of his public persona, a trait which I'm hardly the first to lampoon:

It was an educated guess. I mean...you are unlikely to be as hot as Gareth if you:

(1) are a Scott Pilgrim fan (2) use the word "panties" (3) spend time commenting on internet message boards

But hey, you share his Michael Moore-induced nausea, so that's something. Personally, I think Charlton 'Cold Dead Hands' Heston was kind of a dick, and I do not feel bad about him getting trolled by a gun control activist. Not even one as obnoxious as Moore.

If high pitched pretty boys are to a gal's liking, I 'spose. More than a handful of folks have likened me to the Red Viper from GOT(show, not the books), going so far as to say that I could be his near twin. Clearly, there remains a market for scruffy and rugged even in this post WB era. Clearly, education-even when limited to guessing- doesn't lead to enriched taste.

(2) use the word "panties"


Somehow, knickers and underoos sounded even less attractive.

Sounds like Gareth and I aren't the only ones who find MM nausea inducing, based upon that last sentence. Never having met Heston, I'll refrain on commenting on his personality. My disgust was over the exploitation of the murdered girl, especially by a man who endlessly professes to be campaigning to make America safer. Can't imagine her family was thrilled with a stunt like that being splashed across the silver screen either.

The word 'underwear' would have sufficed.

Conjecture, but whatever. I have no meaningful opinions on Michael Moore. I hadn't thought about him in years, before his Braindead cameo, which I found weird and unfunny. I guess I get what they were going for, humour wise: Gareth obsessing over the idea of Laurel being with a fat guy who wears a cap in bed and makes filthy liberal documentaries or whatever his problem was.

So, in keeping with the topic up top, ima say Michael Moore was not hilarious.
He had no lines and his imaginary sex scene wasn't even memorable.

You've yet to share even a handful of your own bikini pics, despite being the one who initiated this impromptu "Areu Hot or Not?" contest.

Conjecture, but whatever.


In the same sense that presuming it's ain't safe to walk through the projects after dark with a wallet filled with your life savings could be deemed "conjecture"....

You and the rest of planet aside from the folks at Cannes; we're united in finding the cameo weird and unfunny. The clan from which Gareth hails must be among those who tenaciously cling to Iraq having been a stroke of geopolitical genius; can't imagine anyone else being this inflamed over the mere sight of MM.

reply

The lovely Christina Hendricks and I will have to disagree on the word "panties", among other things. Nothing else to add!

"What race are you? If you don't tell me I'll just...assume the worst."

Perhaps, nonetheless something's piqued my curiosity: ChocolateButt; is this an allusion to the music of Sir Mix A lot/HeavyD or a reference to a personal mishap involving Taco Bell, a liter of prune juice, and a pair of previously unstained white jeans?

MM may have company in this diorama of dishonor, exploiting a tragedy most heinous for personal gain:

Never said I wasn't a fan! I love Scott Pilgrim.

Ugh. Please file "baby doll" under ChocolateButt's Banned Words  Put it right next to "panties".

I never said anything bad about Scott Pilgrim. But it is a movie that not hot nerds tend to love. I know because I'm a not hot nerd.

Gross. I'm done with this conversation.

reply

Well, Butt, I could always return to baby doll. As someone who professes nerdom, was it Winstead's presence that drew you to BD or the setup and storyline itself? Ask as someone who was led to the show by a friend without having any pre knowledge of the aforementioned.

Impressive reframe, Butt; henceforth, whenever I visit a porn site, I'll remind myself that I'm not simply pursuing ad hoc stimulation but researching the quality and continuing evolution of amateur online filmmaking.

Indeed.

I agree. It's unusual for me to actually laugh audibly, but this scene did it.

Yeah, the Eyes Wide Shut moments were pretty damn funny.

Ooooh, it was a reference to Eyes Wide Shut? That's why it was shot like that?!  Okay, I take back what I said about it being weird and unfunny; maybe I just didn't get the joke.

You're hardly alone: I'm confident we can all be forgiven for remembering the overhype which surrounded EWS's release more than anything in the film itself. I stand corrected: someone recently pointed out to me that Laurel pulled down her own panties: she was saddled with the lesser burden of feigning pleasure in the aftermath of cunnilingus performed by, well:

The best part about that scene from Team America is that they stuffed the Michael Moore puppet full of deli meats and explosives.

I love that Michael Moore was in on the joke and didn't mind it. I actually have a little more respect for the guy for doing that, I'm not his biggest fan otherwise but he seems like a guy who at least thinks his heart is in the right place, so good for him.

BD can pay homage to this in a future episode, only with an exploding head. For the sake of clarification, I was being mildly facetious in my first post to this thread. Don't have a strong opinion on MM either way, just find some of his antics under the guise of "telling the truth" to be unpardonably reprehensible.

reply

Eyes Wide Shut was a crappy movie, but it left a few lasting memories, like the imaginings that were re-enacted on Braindead.

I think the recap version was funnier, if only because it went on longer, used the literal similes of a banana being peeled and a geyser erupting, and had inappropriate music.

What made me laugh was his mischievous look towards the screen, it was almost like he broke the 4th wall and said "I know you're watching." 

reply

Yeah the "worst possible scenario" for a republican is Moore sleeping with your girlfriend! lol!

reply

I'll bet he never in his life thought he would ever be asked to film a love scene in bed with such a beautiful woman.

Seriously.

Probably went a long way convincing him to agree to do it.

It was only one of the many times I've laughed out loud at this series.
