At Moore's website, he's asking advice on what his next move should be.

Wassup?

Friends,

How's it going? Ready for the next step?

Let me know what you've been up to and any ideas you have about what our next move should be (write me at the addresses below).

Meanwhile, I'll be in conclave this week handing out goodie bags and running for pope. Wish me well!

Yours,

Michael Moore

'Crash test dummy' pays quite well.

I got the email about this a few days ago.

I want to see him enter politics, but that's just me.

Frankly he should do a nice expose on the Schiavo's parents and their brutal smear campiagn they conducted against the husband add in the political bullshit from the Bushes and the Republicans and you have a great little documentary.

Something tells me that would get more crap on him than his last 2 docos combined. Sounds brilliant.

Ah, but then he'd fill it with misinformation and such, so that any valid points he might make are forever tarnished by him.

Team up with the guy from supersize me, and get moore down to a reasonable body mass index.

Immigration crisis in america and the export of jobs overseas. How big business is shapes gov't policies.

I never watch Lou Dobbs, really!!!! lol.

I'd rather see him team up with the Jackass crew and do some crazy shit.

Seriously. That would be an awesome documentary: Michael Moore's Don't be Such a Fat Bastard!. The main story would be him losing his extra 150 pounds, and the sideline would be about the American obesity "epidemic."

Watching him do a documentary on the American culture of obesity would be hilarious--much better than any of his other work.

It was obvious....

I'd like to see him do a nice exposé on Terri Schiavo's parents and hopefully dispel a lot of the bullshit that's come from the Christian Right about her husband. That's something that moderates on both sides would be able to appreciate.

Already done with "Supersize Me", and I doubt Moore could do it any better than that.

Besides, I'd much rather see him take on the Religious Right, but I don't even know what his views on the Religious Right are. He may think they're not so bad for all I know. Moore has been singing a one-note song ever since he began his career; for him, it's all about the evils of corporatism. All of his movies, no matter what the ostensible subject matter, eventually go back to the evils of corporations and the people who are friendly to them.

I don't know if he would even be capable of doing an expose on the Religious Right unless he can find some way to tie it to Big Business, which is why I suspect that if he tried, he would end up focusing on the Mormons or on the fact that there are a lot of wealthy religious connections in the Republican Party.

I'd love to see him attack the Church of Scientology.

I got one for ya Michael.
its called 'SHUT THE FUCK UP!'
Its all about the people who think your a dumbass and tell you that your movies royally suck and told you long ago NOT TO MAKE ANOTHER MOVIE; and we're totally right! In fact at the end you pledge never to make one of your shitty 'documentaries', if you can call them that, ever again. I love it, and I think it would sell out in every theater in America.

Ah now that was cathartic.

but if you want a real plot heres one. 'Camilla, Horse, Whore, Queen.'

You might be interested in The God Who Wasn't There; it's a documentary that aims to be a Super-Size Me for modern Christianity. The site text makes it sound like its primarily a critique of Christianity as a whole, but the trailer looks like an expose of the religious right.

The dvd will apparently have commentary from the likes of Richard Dawkins, Richard Carrier and Earl Doherty, which makes it sound quite legit, at least to me.

Awesome. Maybe the tagline can be "Fat People Suck!" Perhaps a product promotion where movie theaters hand out Slim Fast coupons. We'll really stick it to those fat fucking lardasses who've done nothing to offend us except be larger than everyone else.

How very *big* of you. Will this be before or after "Douchebag", his documentary profiling people just like you?

I'd rather see him use the Terry Shiavo fiasco as a lead in to examine the state of healthcare in America. He gets to rail against HMO's, insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, and of course government agendas and incompetance. Might be a bit long though...

Post by **The Yosemite Bear** » 2005-04-18 10:32pm

how about he goes after the insanity of humanity....
