“tell a story”
When I was a boy, “telling a story” was a polite euphemism that adults used to suggest children were lieing.
“Now Johnny, did the dog really break that window or are you just telling me a story here?”
I’m with Oz. Michael Moore is a socialist weasel who lies as easily as he draws breath.
If he was as unbiased as he likes to proclaim himself he would have used the phrase ‘present their position’ instead of the ‘story’ pitch.
Moore is a classic huckster – notice how he and his fellow travelers like Gore, Sullivan, Oprah… always end up making a big deposit on their way to saving the world. Their rhetoric heats up in inverse proportion to the state of their bank accounts.
So long as Trey Parker and Matt Stone are on our side, the Democrats can keep the rest of Hollywood.
Agree with Fritz. He’s overdrawn at Burger King and now he needs to scam some quick cash from the lame-brained lefties who pay money to watch his fever-brained historical fantasies. Watch for “Obama does Osama” coming soon to a theatre near you.
Six of the top 10 income earners in the US are in the media/entertainment business.
Most of the derision from the prompters of big government are to big oil and big banks/Wall Street.
Only Andrew Breitbart has a website dedicated to Big Hollywood.
Judged by the Michael Moore standards, Big Hollywood is a big bloodsucking machine that oppresses the poor.
But then, Michael Moore is a hypocrite.
Moore would know. He’s been selling stories/fabrications for decades.
Moore is 100% right. Hollywood movie magic plus a ton of CGI is the -only- thing that could convince Americans to vote DemocRat in 1012.
Well, the stupid ones anyway. They lost anyone with half a brain in 2010.
I read the latest spoutings from that whale, Michael Moore and am reminded of a bit from Firesign Theatre.
“…Howl Of The Wolf Movie, featuring tales of honest, hardworking people, as told by rich Hollywood stars…”
Shoes For Industry, Compadre!
Poor Michael.*
His “best before” date passed some time ago now.
Once you make yourself a celebrity pest for both the Republicans and the Democrats, you’re toast.
Remember Cindy Sheehan?
* A friend of mine used to say: “Michael Moore? There’s no getting around him. Not without a good long walk.”
Rimshot!
Neither do I.

So – if “six of the top 10 income earners in the US are in the media/entertainment business”, it’s time for Mark Cuban to PAY HIS FAIR SHARE.
When is this man going to disappear completely?
I confess,I used to be a fan of mammoth Moore,then I matured. A light went on after watching ‘Bowling for Columbine” and realizing that he was presenting lies about Canada’s gun control. He was massaging the facts with ,not a velvet touch,but a sledgehammer.
There was a small movie that had a couple of journalists attempting to interview M M and the trouble they had,sort of like “Roger and Me” but M M was Roger. I think it was called “Manufacturing Dissent”. Worth watching, though his fans likely won’t get the point.
So when are fat boy and the fruitfly guy going to get together???
“So when are fat boy and the fruitfly guy going to get together???”
Hopefully soon in a new jail cell near you.
So where are the cries of “racism!” from the Hollywood Left elite? Moore, and Chomsky and Pakistan radicals all seem to share one thing in common: complete disdain/disbelief of Obama re: the whacking of Bin Ladin. They are basically calling BHO a liar and a terrorist.
And it obviously means that the Left are all racists, since according to their own established rules any criticism of Obama is automatically motivated by racism…
“Democrats need to embrace Hollywood because this is where they need to come to learn how to tell a story
Yup what the World needs today, is more fairy tales.
stories = fairytales = climate change
The chunky monkey would know about fairy tales he lives in the land of climate change make believe, and he’s made a nice tidy profit off the truely stupid on this planet.
Ironically, that’s the problem with Hollywood: They’ve stopped telling stories. That’s why most of their movies stink — and why movies like The Sound of Music endure: They tell stories with a beginning, a middle, and an end, about characters we actually care about.
Michael Moore’s cheerleading for Hollywood’s ability to tell a story is a pile of utter bunk. Hollywood doesn’t tell stories, they sell propaganda, rather unsuccessfully, from the Left-lib perspective — all the time being the most guilty parties when it comes to HUGE carbon footprints; with all of their jetting first-class around the world, all the time, they’re the ultimate BIG FOOT and Michael Moore’s the ultimate FAT HEAD.
I think the funniest thing is how Moore says that without a trace of irony.
Classic.
Note the presumption that the Democrats are not already embracing Hollywood but rather should infiltrate that last bastion of Republicanism. Allowing this nonsensical idea to stand cedes ground needlessly to the arguments of the “Documentary Film Maker”.
He should have stuck to comedies.
Big Hollywood is a good recommendation for the anti-MSM view of Hollywood.
From Mikey’s tweets;
“6. No way do choppers fly in next door to army base and “WestPoint”, have firefight, blow up chopper, and no cops or Paki soldiers show up?”
Whoa,slow down big boy. I believe the term is Pakistani soldiers. Paki is a xenophobic racist slur. Careful there,loveseat general,even though you likely prefer their buffets and think you are safe,don’t upset those who prepare your food.
“I don’t think there’s a conspiracy, I’d just like the facts.” Yeah,sure bud. If there isn’t a conspiracy now,there will be one after your next movie.
“Democrats need to embrace…..”
They would, but their arms aren’t long enough to get them all the way around Micheal.
“Gore, Sullivan, Oprah.”
March issue of MacLeans magazine has a big mouth (how apropo)of ms oprah.
the article lists numerous of her ‘book of the week’ heroes and how ALL of them are hypocrites; relationship guru divorced 3 times, frugal living expert blowing millions.
etc etc.
I can’t stand that cow and predict her network will never make money.
otoh, didn’t ronnie raygun, who’s schedule was set according to ASTROLOGY, didn’t he come out of the hollywierd machine? so quityerbitchin.
Osumaski Kingabe 4:32. “When is this man going to disappear completely?” If the fat bastard got flesh eating disease today we would still have to put up with him for 20 or 30 years.
sharpshooter: “I can’t stand that cow and predict her network will never make money.”
After only four months since its inception, Oprah’s just fired her own CEO, Christina Norman, in the wake of disappointing ratings for OWN, The Oprah Winfrey Network.
P0WN = Post Oprah Winfrey Network.
I heard this morning that President Obama said something along the lines of “anyone who thinks that Osama’s death was a bad thing needs their head examined.”
So he is saying that Moore needs his head examined.
For once President Obama is right about something. I suppose Hugo Chavez will be in mourning, as he is now accusing him of barbarity.
Good call Bruce. Someone else who remenber sth wisdom of Firesign Theater
HI! I’m Joe Beats.
Say, what chance does a deceased returning war veteran have for that good payin’ job, more sugar, and that free Mule we’ve all been dreaming of?
Now take off your shoes.
Now you can see how increased spending opportunities, mean harder work for everyone, and more of it, too! So, do yourself a favor, Joe. Join with millions of your friends and neighbors, and, TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES!
“For INDUSTRY!”

“Hollywood doesn’t tell stories, they sell propaganda…..”
Unfortunately so does the Obamba administration.
I can’t stand Michael Moore, yet his version of the OBL fiasco sounds more plausible than any one of Obambas 6 different versions.
The left lives in their fantasy’s, that is why they have trouble distinguishing between Hollywood realities and the real world. That is why the movie star Obamba has cameo appearances on shows like Opera or the View – the left doesn’t know what a real President is supposed to be, so Obamba plays out on those fantasy’s like a seasoned pro.
Knight 99: Low observable helicopters plus a phone call to Hosni Mubarak explains the whole thing, don’t you think?
That’s why the SEALS blew up their “Blackhawk”, it was a pretty special chopper that we haven’t seen yet. Kinda like this year’s F-117 Stealth Fighter.

No surprise: a leftist with a sense of irony is an oxyMORON.
The Goebbelsization of all the news, all the time. Moore’s fantasy
The Phantom >
Apologies but your comment to me went right over my head. Not sure what your trying to say.
I’m not that tech savvy with military aircraft. Much better with small arms though.
As far as the whole OBL thing I don’t have a real opinion on what went down aside from my belief that again Obamba has lied about something. Their story has changed too many times, and he has a long history of deceit. Other than that, the affair is a crap shoot as to what the real story is – IMO…………
No. Hollywood is where fairy tales are born and that’s where the Democrats need to be. Leftists live in a land that can never be. The time of the leftist has come to an end and Mr Obama will be a one term president.
