Moore to shoot sequel to 'Fahrenheit'

http://www.cnn.com/2004/SHOWBIZ/Movies/11/11/film.fahrenheitfollow.ap/index.html


LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Michael Moore plans a follow-up to "Fahrenheit 9/11," his hit documentary that assails President Bush over the handling of the September 11 attacks and the war on terrorism, according to a Hollywood trade paper.

Moore told Daily Variety that he and Harvey Weinstein, the Miramax boss who produced the film, hope to have "Fahrenheit 9/11 1/2" ready in two to three years.

I was hoping his next film would be about black box voting.

:toast:

I mean nothing helps Democracy burn like a stolen election. It follows that a good chunk of the sequel will be about exactly that.

for sequels #3,4, and 5!

I mean, c'mon, be creative!

That title wasn't all that in the first place. Now to use it again? C'mon people!

I'm sure I'll enjoy watching it. But this time I won't have any illusions that it might have an effect on the disintegration of democracy in America.

Still, a worthy effort.

:D

You took the words right off my keyboard! BTA, great minds think alike.

.

It was to be Bu$hCo's rebuttal.

he and his wife and another couple went to a double bill -- Fahrenhype and Stolen Honor. He said there were 16 people there (not counting then and the projectionist).

Very weak arguments about the Taliban not permitting kite flying (in Baghdad?) so a lot of nonsense talking points, lacking any real context.

Just more right-wing mouth-foam.

Tut-tut

The Taliban. In Iraq.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

An aye-rab's an aye-rab's an aye-rab. Drop bombs first, ask questions later.

On second thought, fuck the questions. Just bomb it.

I saw parts of it. They managed to reproduce the weaknesses of Moore's film and magnify them a hundred times over, and had none of the strengths. I was gratified to see what a POS it was.

BTW, if anyone is interested in seeing that and dozens of other films on such topics, the usenet group alt.binaries.documentaries is regularly deluged with left, right, and "other" propaganda films. If you have a premium service with monthlong retention like Easynews you can probably snag a couple of dozen films about recent politics from there.

In addition to the lefty stuff like Uncovered and F911, and the righty stuff like Hype, there are a lot of sometimes interesting, sometimes idiotic conspiracy theory films posted there.

Apparently, Bunnypants only spent 5 minutes reading "My Pet Goat" while the towers burned... not 7.

I also learned that Dickless Morris found a new set of toes to suck on... this time, they're of the unpolished variety. :evilgrin:

I believe that being the "anti-Bush" is Mike's god given purpose in life...

God actually told this to me....

See, like our leader, I am also the father of twin girls and I am going through the same extreme sleep deprivation that Dub-ya did. And like Dub-ya, I am also now hearing the voice of God, and it is telling me three things...

1. Michael Moore has been given Quest from God to expose and bring down the Administration...

2. I made Arnold Governor to be a sleeper in the Conservative movement. I mean come on, he's a social liberal and married to the Kennedy's. Good thing the Right is not too Bright...

3. Global warming is a good thing. Think of how much easier it will be to get your shipments of Vodka, Caviar and Russian Teenage Tennis Players/Models when the polar ice cap melts...

Goooo Mikeeeeee...

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

A little known fact about BigPauly...

Although I live in California now, my roots are in the land of the Mafia and the home of the Yanks...Listening to Randi Rhodes gives me fond memories of listening to all of my aunts. Same accent, same passion...

I am Blue through and through....

Thanks for the welcome...

Democratic money in Moore's pockets while we drive away potential voters.

Having him at the Democratic convention was a huge mistake.

filmmakers to keep from scaring away those precious voters.

Uh, yeah. Enjoy your stay here.

(we'll see how the recounts shake out) and that more people voted against that traitor b*sh than any president in history, sounds like Moore ENCOURAGED votes, not drove voters away.

But hey, what's a newbie to do, gotta post them rightwing talking points, right? Well, SOME newbies do, at any rate.

that was where y'all booed him, remember?

It is my understanding the anyone can attend conventions. You just have to get there early enough to get a seat. I suspect he just wanted to be there to make them nervous. I myself intend to attend the DNC in 08. Probably not as a delegate, although that would be nice. I probably wont get that lucky.:dem:

But not anymore.

You have to have some kind of credentials (elected official, press, state delegation, honored guest (i.e., big money donor), employee, or volunteer).

My understanding is that Moore had press credentials for the Repub Con.

I was a volunteer at the DNC in LA in 2000 and the security was ridiculously tight then. I can't imagine what it was in Boston or NY with the bs orange alerts!

You have to be a party delegate, and people vie for that. It's a coveted thing.

He was at the Democratic Convention sitting right next to Jimmy Carter !!!

By the time you read this, I won't be able to see you anymore. :)
:) :) :) :) :)

The more we do it the sooner he'll be gone. Only Ignore long term assholes is my motto!:evilgrin: :hi:

Newbies telling us how Moore hurts "our" party.

(No offense to most of our Newbies!)

I'm getting real sick of these right wing talking points. If anything cost us the election, it was Clintonistas who swayed Kerry toward domestic issues. The fact is, Bill Clinton and his mushy centrists need to go.

Thanks, Mike-and thanks for taking all their insults and slander.

On March 18, two days before the U.S. invasion, Barbara Bush had an interview with ABC-TV's Diane Sawyer.

''Why should we hear about body bags and deaths and how many, what day it's gonna happen?'' Mrs. Bush declared. ''It's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?'' http://www.commondreams.org/views03/0905-04.htm

Michael Moore, a great American patriot, at the last minute seemed to have pulled back and deleted these most insensitive words by Barbara from his film.

Yet, ever since the release of Fahrenheit 9/11, Old Man Bush has been slandering Michael Moore for "telling lies about the Bush family".

Well, Michael...if you are reading this by any chance, don't hold back this time. Tell the truth about the Bush Family. Let Barbara Bush's words ring loudly in your sequel.

"Why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?"

So is she comparing herself to like, John Nash or something? I mean really, I'm not going to say she's ugly, but I don't think that Stepford puppet qualifies her MIND to be beautiful. After all, she married *. How beautiful can that mind be?

That was supposed to be the title for his next film about the wonderful US health care industry. I hope he gets that done first and then goes on to a Fahrenheit sequel.

the movie made a profit, of course theres a sequel,
Domestic Total as of Oct. 28, 2004: $119,200,329
Production Budget: $6 million
Est. Marketing Costs: $15 million

Hopefully this won't be "Return to Mayberry".

to crush this project than they did last time, count on it. Moore was clever and well advised as he maneuvered through the corporate distribution and production minefield. This one may have to go overseas for all of that and will be a hard DVD to find over here.

Or they might not even care. Whichever you find scarier.

Hopefully this will be released soon enough to affect some change.

That's too bad. This country needs to heal more than ever right now, and this will only make it worse. Mike is a gifted filmmaker, but he also is a gifted businessperson. He knows that he can't sell movies without hamming up the film content and getting the viewer emotionally involved. Comments like "51 percent of the country was not informed during this election. We need to enlighten them" sums up the biggest problem our party is facing today. And it's comments like that that got out the extra votes for Shrub Head!!!!!!

You mean--give Bush & Co everything they want? Sorry, no. Read up on the concept of "opposition".

I welcome all new DU'ers, but there is a different, distinctive subset of newbie. They appear to have joined just to shut us up & are always concerned for the good of "our" party. Common themes:

1) The election was not stolen. Shut up & move on. (An oldie from 2000, newly revived.)

2) Michael Moore drives away moderates & gains Republican votes. (They also inform us he's rich.)

Their contributions are also welcome because they delineate the issues most worrisome to Republicans. Therefore, we'll continue to get to the bottom of BBV & gladly patronize Michael's next project.

Please, tell us what else is really bothering you.

Earlier in the year I read that Moore next planned a movie to take on HMO's. Anyone hear if this is still being planned, or if this F 911 sequel will be done instead?

(As much as I like the idea of another movie taking on Dubya, he'll be gone in four years, but I fear I'll have to put up with garbage from HMO's well beyond that. I was looking forward to Moore doing a movie on them.)

Farenheit 9-11 return of the monkey

religious frauds, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell and the rest of their ilk. Now, there's a film that should be made; exposing their opulent lifestyles and then show the lifestyles of the people who are sending them money - that would be an eyeopener that needs to be put out there.

Mike is a courageous guy who stands up for the little guy in all sorts of stuff and against Bush was the hardest. So what even if it turns out we lost because of it. That is like saying you would rather win at ANY cost?? Are you guys saying really saying on this site that you would rather turn into "mini lite repubs" than hold fast to our beliefs??

No wonder my husband wants nothing to do with the dems any more. He says they are all pussies.

I have been reading the site to get over my depression and anger and it angers me even more every time I read a thread where people say we have to lean their way to win. If that is what it takes we should succeed! I am NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT going to give up my beliefs because a lot of brain washed people in america think they can tell us how to believe or behave.

I am going to fight for what is right for the environment, for equal justice for all, for separation of church and state and I am NOT NOT NOT going to give up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
