3. So for Moore, it IS all about making a buck
I knew it all along. I won't see this one.

He needs to be working on other issues.

4. Why?
Why won't you see it? You've predetermined it will be unworthy?

6. Curious... what other issues?
Do you mean, other topics for movies? Or what DO you mean? Because Moore is a documentary film maker foremost, author second. This is what he does.

11. Come on, did you really see his other films?
There are lots of issues out there. He makes the films he wants to make; that's his right.

5. He should make a movie about the PNAC
I was terribly disappointed that it wasn't mentioned in F 9/11. 'Hijacking Catastrophe' does, but it was likely only seen by like-minded people. Moore has mainstream power, which is kinda ironic when you think about how they try to paint him.

Maybe a bunch of us should start writing to Moore about making something about the PNAC and fascism/theocracies in general.

I'm glad to hear he's making a new movie though, but the title blows.

Sicko (2005) (pre-production)
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0601619/

with all the money he's making i wish he'd buy a cable tv network like cnn or c-span. 24-hr liberal news network.

the title prolly was chosen to piss off the right wing nutjobs.

12. Why even bother...
I have nothing but praise for MM, but why even bother with a sequel. All accountability was lost after Nov. 2nd. It was in the people's hands to make big changes, they or Diebold/ES&S chose not to make changes. So this administration has read the outcome of the election into a mandate and the rest of the word has taken the result as though Americans believe this administration is right in what it did or will do in the future.

It's too late to bring up PNAC now, too late to talk at length about how the Iraqi exiles played a part in duping America. After Nov 2nd it's too late for a lot of things.

People were moved by the F/911. Some already knew all the facts that were presented and many didn't. It informed a lot of people who quite frankly should have already known of these facts. The most amazing result of this election is that it shows half of America just don't care about the facts.

There are bigger things that the average American worries about, like who's going to win Survivor or the next American Idol.
