Michael Moore Tops Frigid List
Film Threat publishes an annual, year-end list of the fifty coldest people in Hollywood, the "Frigid 50." Topping this year's list as the most cold-as-ice person in Hollywood is none other than Michael Moore:
There are a lot of Democrats out there that would just like to say – thanks a lot! MICHAEL!
And now Michael’s alleged “limousine liberal” ways [Ed.: "Alleged"?] are being exposed in a new documentary entitled “Michael Moore Hates America.” The film (hitting theaters in limited release) features regular schlub Mike Wilson who seeks out Moore in an effort to question the controversial filmmaker’s techniques. All Wilson wants is to interview Michael – and ala “Roger and Me,” Moore completely disses the young filmmaker, evading his request for an interview and berating him at a public event. In one particularly damning sequence, Wilson exposes that in Bowling for Columbine the sequence in which the gun is received from the bank was completely stage-managed. The bank employees reveal how Michael set up the entire scene.
“Michael Moore Hates America” takes a hard look at Moore’s methods while dissecting the documentary form itself. It’s a doc that tackles ethical issues when reality gets in the way of a political agenda – and all the while the film remains highly entertaining.
As a bonus, frigid Hollywood personality number ten is Kerry campaigner Ben Affleck:
Poor Ben. He’s been cursed with the incredible shrinking career: dumped by J.Lo, ignored by audiences, and reduced to making guest shots on TV celebrity poker tournaments. Affleck’s career has devolved beyond sick humor into the realm of catastrophic pity-inducement.
"Catastrophic pity-inducement." I like that. Reminds me of a certain secessionist political party.
