Perhaps Mr. Moore's arguments would be made stronger if he would disclose his net worth, and where he keeps his money?


I hate this argument against Michael Moore, especially when there are legitimate ones. He's not being hypocritical or ironic - you can play the game well and still think the rules should be changed.


sure, you can start and we'll just go down the line.

who CARES what the guys net worth is? Why does it matter? Can not a successful film maker speak for those who are in the down and outs? Just because his films are good, does that make him less worthy to call out the greedy bankers? Who are you, Sean Hannity?!


reminded me of the line in "Roxanne":

"Oh, ho, ho, irony! Oh, no, no, we don't get that here. See, uh, people ski topless here while smoking dope, so irony's not really a, a high priority. We haven't had any irony here since about, uh, '83, when I was the only practitioner of it. And I stopped because I was tired of being stared at. "


pretty idiotic reasoning. go back to school bud.
