Moore Is Better

Some people say that I never have a nice thing to say about my adversaries. This is untrue, of course: I say nice things when they deserve them, one of which I will say now about Michael Moore. Until Spiderman took the weight off his shoulders, the slovenly storyteller kept White Chicks from being number one at the box office. (According to IMDB.) Go Mike! Maybe the fat bastard has a purpose after all.

And I think I can say without fear of contradiction that even if every accusation raised against Moore's reporting is true, Farenheit 9/11 can't get further from its source material than Will Smith's incredibly misnamed I, Robot. Well, unless you consider the source material to be Bradbury's original, but Bradbury thought freedom burned almost 500 degrees colder than Mr. Moore does. Maybe Moore is iimplying Bush has made freedom that much more resistant.

Mike, here's hoping you humble Mr. Smith, too!

Keeping "White Chicks" off of #1 *is* worthy of praise. :)

I saw "White Chicks" and have not seen "F 9/11." The former could have been more execrable (there was only one extended bathroom joke), and delivered far more unmitigated joy to my cousin (Columbia '03) than the latter ever could. So by a utilitarian measure, "White Chicks" probably is far superior to both "F 9/11" and "I, Robot."
