Michael Moore to pull a Joss Whedon, distribute next film online for free
The difference is that this time, Moore's film will not have a theatrical release. Slacker Uprising, which reportedly cost $2 million to produce, will be available for free for three weeks and will then be distributed on DVD.
This is hardly the first time we've seen artists give content away for free online. Some do it for the free publicity. Others say they do it as a way to thank their fans. In the cases of high profile musicians and TV and film producers like Radiohead, Trent Reznor, Joss Whedon, and Michael Moore, they do it partially because they can afford to do it. But Moore says he simply wants his latest film, which attempts to convince young people to vote (you can probably guess who he'd rather see them vote for), to be seen by as many people as possible.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

Glad to hear it! He has made some outstanding films, and those of us with at least half a brain recognize the importance of his work. Sadly, though, those whose opinions are easily swayed by loud-mouthed blowhards will never understand the absolute necessity of people like Michale Moore; they just can't (or won't) separate the message from the messenger...

The messenger _is_ the problem because the messenger is disingenuous. His movies are incredibly manipulative. I watched "Bowling for Columbine" expecting a documentary. What I got instead made me very angry. It made me angry because Moore was insulting his audience's intelligence. If you have a point you want to prove, prove it to me, but don't try to trick me into believing it. It was basically thinly veiled propaganda.

Maybe that's your problem - you have half a brain. Moore's film are so full of crap and outright lies that their useless as anything.

how can you say that with such a nickname?
Jack Kerouac had more style. His knowledge and respect of the human nature is not reflected in your comment. Perhaps another nom de plume would be more appropriate to your endeavors elsewhere.
Read again, or learn to.

Michael Moore is a moron of the establishment.
Vote Ron Paul and watch Alex Jones, if you're really interested whats going on.
Also McKinney und Kucinich are good people.
