You like this guy, don'tcha ?

I personally do, even though he can be as manipulative as the people he's criticising most of the time.

I'll check this out, thanks for the info.
 
A message from Mike :-

Friends,

As you may have heard, I've decided to make my new film, "Slacker Uprising," available for free to everyone in the United States and Canada. It is the first time ever that a major feature-length film is debuting as a free download on the internet -- legally. I am doing this for two reasons:

1. Next year it will be 20 years since my first film, "Roger & Me," so I'd like to give those of you who've supported my work over the years a thank you gift in the form of a brand new movie; and

2. I hope the release and wide distribution of this new movie will help to bring out millions of young and new voters on November 4th.

"Slacker Uprising" takes place in the wake of "Fahrenheit 9/11," during the run-up to the 2004 election, as I traveled for 42 days across America, visiting 62 cities in a failed attempt to remove George W. Bush from office. My goal was to help turn out a record number of young voters and others who had never voted before. (That part was a success. Young adults voted in greater numbers than in any election since 18-year-olds were given the right to vote. And the youth vote was the only age group that John Kerry won.)

What I encountered during the tour and the filming was both inspiring and frightening, so I thought, hey, this might make for a funny and enlightening movie! Each night, thousands would show up to volunteer in the Slacker Army against Bush. This drove local Republicans nuts. In one state they tried to have me arrested. At two colleges, rich donors offered to donate more money to the college if they would ban me from campus. Nearly a half-dozen universities kept the Slacker Uprising tour off their campuses. But there was no stopping this movement. By the time we got to Florida, 16,000 people a night were showing up.

It was clear that young people were the ones who were going to save the day -- just as they are in this year's election.

On Tuesday, September 23rd, you will be able to stream, download, or burn a DVD of "Slacker Uprising," free of charge. The distribution is being organized by Robert Greenwald's Brave New Films (they're the great people behind "OUTFOXED: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism" and "WAL-MART: The High Cost of Low Price").

To sign up for the download of "Slacker Uprising," click here. You have my blanket permission to share the movie with your friends, to set up screenings in your communities or theaters, to show it on your campuses -- all at no charge. I encourage you to rally voters with it, to raise funds for your favorite candidates, to air it on your local cable access channels or web broadcasts. You can also click here to request a free DVD of "Slacker Uprising" for your school or university library.

As I said, this is a movie for you, my fans -- a little 97-minute digital treat that I think you'll really enjoy. I hope you'll check out SlackerUprising.com and download it a week from today, next Tuesday, September 23rd.

Thanks again for coming to my movies all these years. It's meant a lot to me. I feel very privileged and blessed, and I am honored to be in this "virtual" community with you as we try to reclaim our beloved country.

Yours,

Michael Moore

P.S. The world premiere of "Slacker Uprising" will take place in one of the great slacker capitals of this country, Ann Arbor, Michigan, this Thursday at 5pm at the historic Michigan Theater. Admission is free on a first-come, first-served basis. If you're in the neighborhood, hope to see you there!

P.P.S. If you live outside the U.S. and Canada, I'm sorry that I don't own the rights to make this film available to you for free. But it will be coming to a theater, video store or television network near you soon.

P.P.P.S. If you are not part of the "downloadable" generation, I am making a low-cost DVD of "Slacker Uprising" available at Amazon, Netflix and your local stores in October.
 
yeah, thanks for the info. looks interesting, i will definitely pass this on to people i know who would be into it
 
I`ve just beamed "Slacker-Uprising" down . If anyone wants rapidshare links to it please PM me .
 
I just watched it its a realy good film . Its about the tour M.Moore made in 2004 to try to get non voters to vote in the Kerry bush election . The musics good and so is the film . I`m probably a dickhead but i spent most of the time crying .
 
It's fascinating to see people from outside the US interested in whats going on in the US. I personally don't care for moore too much. He's given us straight headed liberals a bad name. Just like how you were speaking of not writing a paper on Cannabis due to the stigma surrounding it. He generates that type of stigma wherever he goes.
 
Whats and american liberal ? What exactly does he believe in ?

"Just like how you were speaking of not writing a paper on Cannabis due to the stigma surrounding it. He generates that type of stigma wherever he goes."

Please explain exactly .
 
GOD a dit:

Please explain exactly .

He believes in the consitution, given from the founding fathers of the country. He dislikes the corruption, greed, fear tactics, hate generating, and urinating on the Bill Of Rights. He's also very ill tempered about this and slightly edgy.

I don't have to explain, I know just as well as all the other Americans on this forum what I said. If you don't live in America, thats a foolish question to ask.
If you do, I would be obliged to answer in full.

Ok, big WTF moment...

So you're saying that you would explain it too people who had a big chance of finding out themselves, seeing on tv, what you are talking about, but not to people who didn't have that chance?
Other then that you're saying it is foolish to ask, why?
Are you gonna nuke us, if somebody over here does?

I know a bit what kind of type Micheal Moore is, but stigma's are created by opposers, so I don't think it's his fault that these stigma's are there.
If you're getting a label because of who you are and how you behave, isn't it the people that put that label on you responsible for creating that label, just because they don't understand or oppose what you are standing for?

No offence whatsoever, I'm just curious :roll:

I get fired up about issues such as these, I appologize. I found it hard to believe he hadn't heard of the anti Micheal Moore crews with videos just as readily available to download/buy as any of his own films. I agree that stigma's are created by opposer's, but the opposer's won. Just like the people of the US lost to Marijuana Prohibition. People don't take responsibility here, you must understand.
 
Projection again . I do know about the childish atempts of anti M.Moore people to discredit him . One sees the same with anti peace protesters who are against the genocide in Iraq . Funnily enough they are , like EllisDee , big mouths and big heads that are to cowerdly to go to iraq and people who havent got any family members fighting there . Professionaly blind america saves the world ultra right wing brainless bush clones .
