THOSE WHO DIRECT GLASS MOVIES SHOULD NOT THROW STONES

Just in case you had a shred of respect left for Mikey Moore:

Moore Digs at Gibson
3 February 2005 (WENN)

Oscar-winner Michael Moore has taken a veiled swipe at Mel Gibson’s controversial movie The Passion Of The Christ - his revenge after Gibson refused to back Fahrenheit 9/11. Moore was disappointed when the Australian heart-throb actor pulled out his financial backing of his expose of George W. Bush’s regime and his reaction to the September 11 terrorist attacks. The Braveheart star then refused to join Moore for a joint discussion with Time Magazine’s editors, who were considering them for a joint Man Of The Year award last year. On the subject of Gibson’s biblical opus, Moore tells Vanity Fair, “If I were to make a movie, it would be about turning the other cheek… And the meek shall inherit the earth.” Moore added he was disturbed at, “How easily the vulnerable can be manipulated, twisted by images on the screen.”

Mr. Moore, I used to like you during the “TV Nation” days, back when you were David vs. Goliath. But the problem is you have now become Goliath- and I’m just waiting for a new David.

    Michael Moore’s Replacement

    Jose Cansecos book is finally coming out. I think I wrote about the book, like, four websites ago.

    Hmmm… that story seems a bit twisted. I’ve read more than once that they are fans of each other. Even FOX News says so: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,143924,00.html

    I’ll look into it- maybe it’s bad reporting.

    Whether it’s true or not I have never been a fan of Moore: his public persona is a turn off.

    Jeez I’m commenting like a mofo, but I’ve been behind.

    I like the way Michael Moore is portrayed in the genius film “Team America: World Police” A must see film.
