The film, Slacker Uprising, follows Moore's 62-city tour during the 2004 election to rally young voters. It will be available for three weeks as a free download to North American residents, beginning September 23.

"I thought it'd be a nice way to celebrate my 20th year of doing this," Moore said. "And also help get out the vote for November. I've been thinking about what I want to do to help with the election this year."

Sign up in the bottom left hand corner of this link: http://slackeruprising.com/#signup and you will be notified when it's available for download via email.

I saw that you can also buy it for 10 bucks on DVD.

Great, thanks.

And thank you for adding to the topic. O'Reilly would be proud.

Skewed facts? Wouldnt they have to be partially true for that work?=-p

Moores movies are interesting, but they are about as real as pro wrestling. If nothing else it starts some good fights between the whack job liberals and god crazy conservatives.

I think hes leaning toward just trying to get people to vote period.

By everything he has said in his entire career, he is telling people to vote for a Liberal candidate. Whether it be Nader or Obama.
Moore is dispicable and I won't be watching this one :)
 
What's funny is that the people who condemn Moore for his skewed facts will still tune in for the latest O'Reilly.

I guess skewed facts are acceptable as long as it is benefiting your ideology eh?

I'm pretty sure Moore turned his back on Nader in the last election. Supported him 100% in 2000 and asked him to not run in 2004.

If only the world was this black and white. That kind of logic is why we will never see any third parties (not that I support one) or competition to the Dems/Repubs. What about the people who think O'Reilly and Moore are full of shit at times? I happen to think both are overzealous fact skewers :D.

That would be me.

But you can't deny that the supporters of "the right" tend to be the most voiceful regarding Michael Moore.

Just as "the left" is very voiceful regarding Bill O'Reilly.
 
I'm all for Michael Moore doing his thing, and I like some of the things he says (in other words, no, I'm not an anti-Moore right-wing nutjob), but I'm fucking sick of his movies being called "documentaries," because they're not. They're "message movies," which are very different from documentaries.

BBC's Planet Earth is a documentary. March of the Penguins is a documentary. Campaign is a documentary. Jesus Camp is a documentary.

Fahrenheit 9/11 is NOT a documentary. It's a persuasive message movie. Same goes for Bowling for Columbine, et cetera.

This isn't an issue of politics. It's pure semantics, that are bothering me here.
 
yeah signed for this today. i honestly dont care for michael moore, but a free movie can be worth some entertainment.

QFT!:applause:
 
Coffee,
I took the liberty of pulling the definition of "documentary":
4. Factual, realistic; applied esp. to a film or literary work, etc., based on real events or circumstances, and intended primarily for instruction or record purposes. Also ellipt. as n.
Source: http://dictionary.oed.com/cgi/entry...&queryword=documentary&first=1&max_to_show=10

Based on the definition, Moore's films would be considered documentary as they are
1. "realistic" (not fictionalized as in Lord of the Rings or The Notebook)
2. "based on real events or circumstances" (hence the issues he raises)
3. "intended primarily for instruction or record purposes" (he is not hiding the fact that he is attempting to create a record (albeit with his interpretation) to educate the public.

Under this definition, even "The Real World" could be considered a documentary. Of course Moore has a message. But, lets keep in mind so does every documentary as soon as someone decides THIS is something the public needs to see and then decides which way to point the camera. There is not such thing right, left, and especially the "center" that is unbiased or neutral. A professor once made the brilliant point that "Neutrality is a mask for the status quo."

So, yes, I agree that Moore's films have a message. This is uncontestable. But that makes it no less a documentary than Jesus Camp or March of the Penguins. And a "message" is not a bad thing. Especially when there is no such thing as "no message." (Well, MAYBE Jackass might not have a message. But, I suspect there is one there too.)

You realize that over 50% of Americans are OBESE? So, you tell this to all the fat people you meet? This is simply attacking the messenger and not the message. Just in case, as you seem ignorant to the this fact: Moore does not make all documentaries. He did not make Super-size Me! If he did you might have reason for your character assassination attempt. This is the problem with us Americans! We don't think. And think we do.

So dispute facts. That is if you can. Most people I challenge on their attacks on Moore can't counter a SINGLE fact presented in his films. Most of the time, they haven't even watched it!!! Wow! How can people claim to know about something they have NEVER even researched? That's not even poor scholarship. Its pathetic.

Here, why don't you try to dispute any of these facts he presents in the film Fahrenheit 9/11 with what he has ON HIS OWN SITE? Show me the money!!!

Pfft, whatever. He's "documenting" himself making arguments. fuck that.

I think you should only be allowed to call something a documentary, if it was going to happen with or without film cameras rolling.

[quote name='joeboosauce']He did not make Super-size Me![/QUOTE]
Super-size Me is one of the few non Michael Moore "documentaries" that I consider even more stupid than his. No one has ever, ever made a more obvious statement, than the one in that movie.

I have recently begun to really dislike Michael Moore, and given the opportunity, would kick O'Relly's ass (or Glen Beck). I'm not sure I could take Moore in a fight though. Some of those big guys are hard to take down. ;)

They are different sides of the same coin. They are there to piss you off about the other side. Neither of them are interested in solving problems, just pointing fingers for blame.

both of them lie when it is convenient for them.

Sure, but you read the definition. Why don't you then take on the task of changing the meaning to fit your views? Would then be a nicely warped "I am the center of the universe" kind of reality...

Ummm... hello? Do you know WHY he made that documentary? Please don't google before you admit your folly. I will just tell you if you reply why you think he made it. He even says why in the documentary.
 
free is free but how much is your time worth, i mean i'm not a right wing junkie but lets be honest he's kinda full of crap, his movies are always edited to make people look stupid, i'm surprised he hasn't started editing in scenes where he looks at the camera and starts giggling.

Admitting you don't know don't know the reason he made the film doesn't make you a bad person. Now, making things up does makes you seem ignorant (something the right wing has a monopoly on). He said he made this film do disprove McDonald's contention that their food is not unhealthy.

Further, your analytical and observation skills are lacking to say the least. He says his intention in the film. Were you asleep? Brain turned off? Or is it the same phenomenon that occurs with Republicans/Cons where the more they are exposed to information, the more confused they are?
Here is the study that documents that:

http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/p...security_bt/102.php?nid=&id=&pnt=102&lb=brusc
Go to the Full Report and go to page 22 and look at the table at the top left: Exposure to News and Frequency of Misperceptions Among Bush and Democratic Nominee Supporters

You seem to fall into that group. More facts more confusion. There is no shame in admitting you are wrong.
 
[quote name='joeboosauce'] He said he made this film do disprove McDonald's contention that their food is not unhealthy.[/quote]
And who asked him too? Okay, so yes, he is very clear and open on the incredibly stupid reason he made his poo poo movie. Wow I totally respect him now.

Are you some kind of liberal elitest or something? I am pretty liberal but god, most liberal people are even more annoying than conservative people skeet skeet skeet god damn.

So, if he was so "very clear and open" by your own admission, then why did you not understand it until I explained it in my previous post? Why did you manufacture a made up rationale? His reason was not "very clear and open" to you until I educated you (which shouldn't be my job, but alas, the ignorant exist). You can thank me know...

Here this will confuse you for the day... I am not a liberal. And "liberal ELITIST"? Do you know what elitist even means? You need to stop parroting Rush Limbaugh mantras. You ever say "the US is #1" or "the US is the best country" or any of those patriotic/jingoistic proclamations? haha. Don't worry, you share this with the many US elitists in this nation. OK, US elitist?

Hmmm... interesting theory there Einstein... I mean Elitist. You should propose that to your 8th grade science teacher (I assume your education level from the mountain of evidence you dispense as "logic" on this board.) Then you should apply this theory to yourself and then you will able to determine that you like men since you obviously post a hell of a lot more than I do. So then, with the mountain of time you spend here and posting does that make you ultra stupendously mega ultra ultra gay? You may want to share this "insight" with the other heavy posters on CAG and inform them to their sexual orientation. I am sure they would appreciate that. I guess those scientists have nothing on you Einstein with their nature/nurture theory on sexual orientation. Tell them its posting. Brilliant! I guess the noobs on this board are the "straight-est" men. I'll take that. On that note, I'm not going to waste any more time than I have on your conservative mind. You obviously do not understand the liberal/conservative dichotomy. Elitist, please read some more. It doesn't hurt to. Start with the basics first because we don't want any more of that more facts creating more confusion thing that the conservative elitist mindset exhibits.
 
his movies are entertaining, but terribly partisan. he could make stronger cases if he didn't skew everything in favor of his argument. there's plenty of evidence already that are country is fucked up.

Well I don't like watching gay porn, so I haven't seen his shitty movie in almost 4 years, so sorry if I'm not like you and don't watch it religiously and remember every single facet of it. Whether or not McDonald's contests the claim that their food is unhealthy doesn't change the fundamental fact that any non-retard is already aware that it's unhealthy, and didn't need to have a movie made to tell them. I doubt more than a dozen people stopped eating McDonald's because that movie told them something they didn't already know about it. So it's STILL COMPLETELY POINTLESS.

You need to stop parroting Rush Limbaugh mantras.

The last time I heard Rush Limbaugh was about two decades ago when I was a small child visiting my grandparents.

You know what, you really need to take all the Mythbusters and Pokemon posters off your wall and delete your stash of Harry Potter x Vincent Valentine slash fics (because omg gross), and you also need to clean your fish tank and replace the brake pads on your Volvo. Also, you and Phillip will break up before the month is over.

It seems like you are trying to start some sort of "Most Completely Absurd, Baseless, Random Assumptions" contest, and the above paragraph is my entry against yours.

You ever say "the US is #1" or "the US is the best country" or any of those patriotic/jingoistic proclamations?

The US is the best country. Because I live here.
