Michael Moore makes a porno

"The shoes are Gucci. Thanks for asking."

Here we go again...

"Michael Moore's next documentary for Paramount Vantage and Overture is taking on a different issue than first stated -- it will now cover the global financial crisis says The Hollywood Reporter. The still untitled feature is said to follow an "end-of-the-empire tone" rather than the foreign policy-focused follow-up to "Fahrenheit 9/11" that was originally planned..."

Well, sure. Can't be a world-class opportunist without rolling with the headlines.

"Even Moore calls it more of a 'bookend to Roger & Me' in reference to his breakthrough debut effort nearly two decades ago..."

I'd rather call it a bookend to Michael Moore's phoned-in career, but I doubt we'll be so lucky.

"However, with the crisis changing from day to day and a renewed sense of hope thanks to Obama's election, critics are wondering if Moore's style will still hit with audiences by the time it gets released..."

Another Moore flop gives me a renewed sense of hope at least, but I think what they meant to say was critics are wondering how to make it a hit when everyone knows his tricks by now.

"Moore is rushing forward with filming at present and the movie is expected to come out as early as the Spring."

Rushing it? How long does a Michael Moore film take? I mean when you pretty much make it up as you go along anyway. Ambushing easy targets and interviewees suffering from Alzheimers requires some logistical coordination I suppose, but still. Frankly, I'm surprised this wasn't in the can two months ago.

How much you want to bet the bipartisan nature of our current mess and socialist attempts at a solution don't show up on screen? I'd link to the proof yet again, but even I'm tired of looking at it by now.
