Then check the grosses on this movie. It was a big giant turd, a total flop. It costs $11 million to produce, add another $10 for prints and advertising, and it only brought in $164,000 domestically. Considering only half that filters down to the studio, and you have about $82,500 or so for your investment. That's why he was chased back into his "documentaries." The big boys are in the feature world, which is where he wanted, but this flop was such a turkey, it sent him packing.
So at least you know the truth.

It doesn't matter. His other movies were successful, they'd let him make any movie he wants. Michael Moore wasn't a name back then, he is now. And He's got a lot more money than you and I ever will so if he's not a "big boy" I'd hate to know what we are.
Canadian Bacon - 7/10
Beneath the Planet of the Apes - 7/10

You seem to have a very miserable life.. picking political fights online on a movie of somebody you clearly don't like. Look at all those things you dislike.. yet you're right here, looking to fight.
go out and do something to help this world if you're so concerned about peoples politics. fighting on the internet isn't achieving anything.

The sticky stuff on the stairs tastes bitter!

Steve sounds like he is pretty angry with Michael Moore that's too bad. The guy makes very interesting films.

Those damn evil penguins. Notice how they can never even decide if they favor black or white? Always riding the fence, trying to blend in and remain unnoticed, just biding their time until they make their move. Probably the sole largest socialist/communist organization on the planet. They probably can't even swing from a webpathetic.
Penguins have always hated me.

Really? I thought the the object of a documentary was to show all of the facts in a non-distorted manner and let the viewer decide how they feel and what they think. Did March of the Penguins have an agenda? Was that film maker being dishonest? I haven't seen it, it's just the most recent documentary that came to mind. Is it now just a common practice for the directors of documentaries to intentionally slant things in a direction that fits their agenda? I'm not a huge documentary fan so I'm genuinely curious.

Except that his films are only documentaries in name only. He has yet to make a true documentary. Even he has stated that he has an agenda in the making of his films.
