"Anyone who takes Fox News seriously is not allowed to get angry about Michael Moore."

Anyway, I'll admit that Moore is interesting because he's the only major figure trying to beat the Republican leadership at its own game, using the same kind of impassioned, easily digested rabble-rousing. (Although clearly, Moore is a lot more honest because at least he doesn't just make stuff up or resort to

"So, honest question, what are Moore's big lies that have everyone here so offended? Or is it just that Fox news said so? And where is this same outrage over what Fox news 'reporters' do on a daily basis, to an audience of millions, in order to push the agenda of a single political party?"

The guy killed someone, probably his wife or maybe a child.

Philip Morris was really boring. The only good thing about the movie is that it's about gay people who aren't Sad Gay People.

Also, the beginning of the long Chomsky quote is awkwardly phrased, because it's a transcript of an interview. So it may look like he's saying the Holocaust never happened. But instead he's saying that the people listening to this interview never _supported_ the Holocaust, and similarly he never supported the actions

Yes, Chomsky is absolutely a fascist who supports genocide.

"The Anarcho-Syndicalist Secret Police will erase all trace of your existence from the Earth, Piddles."

What you're doing is equivalent to saying that anyone who says we went to war with Iraq based on false information is on Al Quaeda's side.

"If you ever want to burglarize Chomsky's house, dress as a member of the Khmer Rouge. Even if Chomsky walks in on you, he'll refuse to accept the fact that you're there and committing crimes."

Moores' documentaries are about 50% lies, so I have to go with Spurlock.

Who the hell hates pomegranates? They're delicious!

Really some of the posts in this thread sound like those Youtube comments from high schoolers who insist that death metal/Led Zep/whatever is waaaay cooler than Gaga or Bieber. Boohoo, people like some songs.

* playing the piano

I admire Gaga for singing quite well and piano, and I am entertained by her weird outfits.

I can't believe no one's mentioned the Hitchhiker's Guide books. I stopped after book 2 because according to everything I'd heard, the last 3 books are awful.

Or I guess instead of "fresh" I mean "not-prepared" foods, whether fresh, dried, or canned.

I'm not saying that the difficulty of obtaining decent fresh food is the _only_ cause of poor diet, because that's definitely not true. But it's a contributing factor in a problem that has a whole lot of causes.

The guy who played Robin has said that in retrospect, the giant codpiece in his costume was kind of weird.
