The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2004 It's great that he brings them up and how awful it is there now, but what has he given back to the city? The whole idea of Roger & Me is that it's wrong to just be out to make money and you have an obligation to give back to your city. At the end of Roger & Me he says this film cannot be shown in the city of Flint because all the theatres have closed. Surely he could've built one. Assuming he didn't make that part up.

Mole 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2004 Did he have the money to build one at the time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2004 Well at the time of the release, not at all, but at the present day, surely he has enough money to give back to the community that did so much for him. Someone said he went to private school outside of Flint. is this true? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2GOLD 0 Report post Posted November 14, 2004 All Mikey has to do is go eat at a diner in Flint. He could put the owner's kids and his grandkids through college with one of his "meals". I'd think that could be considered giving back to the town. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest thebigjig Report post Posted November 14, 2004 ... and if you're referring to Michael Moore, you're an idiot. He's no left wing filmmaking pioneer fighting for truth and justice. At least not for the most part. For the most part, he's providing views that stir up controversy and he does this via half-truths. The guy doesn't outright lie, but I guarantee you that he has the ability to turn an idiot from Republican to Democrat. Edit: Idiot Republican to Democrat. Well I generally believe nothing that the federal government tells me and if that makes me an idiot then so be it. It doesn't make you an idiot. It makes you paranoid and kind of crazy. Because the US government has a REMARKABLE history of telling the truth to it's citizens... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smues Report post Posted November 14, 2004 Farienheit 9/11 1/2? What a lame title. I was expecting "No. Supersize ME!" The best thing about Bush winning the election (other then I thought he was the better candidate and all those little unimportant thing) is that if Kerry won Mikey would be screaming "LOOK LOOK MY MOVIE KICKED BUSH OUT OF OFFICE. YOU ALL HAVE ME TO THANK!! ME ME ME!! (now can I finally get a discount card at Old Country Buffet? PLEASE??)" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd think that could be considered giving back to the town. As long as it wasn't a buffet. Farienheit 9/11 1/2? What a lame title. I was expecting "No. Supersize ME!" He should use "Fahrenheit 911,000." That's the death toll in Iraq now, right INXS? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, he would have waited three months before starting a project to get Kerry thrown out of office. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
