This can't be good: MICHAEL MOORE TO MAKE NEXT MOVIE ABOUT AMERICA’S MOST BEAUTIFUL NATIONAL PARKS
Unlike all of his other movies, Moore will not appear in “Land That I Love” or do any voice over work. Instead, he has hired Morgan Freeman to be the film’s narrator.
“Morgan has the perfect voice to instill a sense of awe in viewers as they see the amazing footage we are capturing at sites like the Upper Delaware Recreational River, the Little Bighorn Battlefield, and my personal favorite, the Martin Van Buren National Historic Site,” said Moore.
The filmmaker explained that he decided not to appear in his new movie due to “the importance of the subject matter.
“I have been so humbled by what I am learning about America’s natural beauty and our amazing national heritage that I simply don’t think I am worthy to appear next to them on screen.”
"AMEN" to that. I haven't seen anything of his since his first about GM. The scene where he goads the woman on to kill her rabbits made me sick. This guy is a SICKO. Article: tinyurl.com/2os8pj

I haven't seen anything of his since his first about GM. The scene where he goads the woman on to kill her rabbits made me sick. This guy is a SICKO. Agreed. He's more a 'mockumentary' than a documentary maker. A political polemicist who approaches a subject with preconceived ideas, and then sets about manipulating the facts to fit his preconception. ciao, GAC

Each one of us approach and study any subject with a certain amount of preconceived ideas, all based upon our personal experiences, pasts, and political tendencies; a manipulative process--be it purposeful or subconsciously--well, too well-evidenced in Custeriana. To believe otherwise is simply not a realistic view of history, sociology or political science. That said, Michael Moore is just a fat guy who is much more successful (and egocentric) and self-promoting when it comes to his job. I tend to enjoy his films, though I might not always agree with his tactics or ultimate conclusions.
Still, it's sad to know those prisoners at Gitmo and other federal facilities have better health care than nearly 45 million American citizens whose only crime is to fall between the cracks.
Just a thought.

You can say what you want about Moore's philosophy, but he is an expert film maker. Doesn't mean you agree with his topics or politics but he knows how to make films and get a reaction, which in the end is what it's all about.
Gets people talking and asking questions!
PS: I like his films (no surprise!)

Craze, Don't apologize for liking Moore's films! At least he dares to be different! Can you just imagine what a 'sicko' world this would be if we all looked, acted, thought, believed, and WERE the SAME?? Too bad there's not more like him! Did I say that?

I also have enjoyed all his films. He has the courage to approach issues that are all too often swept under the carpet.
