Look Out! It's Michael Moore

I have to admit that I am putting off a review of 'Supersize Me' because it was a movie I wanted to like, but couldn't because of the flaws in the delivery of its message.

Oh well, that having been said it's interesting to see how our beleaguered pharmaceutical mabufatcurers are responding to the threat of someone publicizing their wrong doing.

to pre-reply to the review of super size:
it was good to see michael moore film making
without the fat schmuck.
ive always liked that doccu-style
letterman was doing it in the 80's
while MM was stuffing his pie-hole with big macs.
i loved this movie. it may have been mis-leading
but so were colombine and f 9/11... they all went after worthy scum bags but just fudged some facts

supersize makes 3 great points despite the accuracy of facts or logic

1)mac donalds IS evil
2)americans are TOO fat
3)michael moore sucks

i liked what was not there (i could stay home for that)
my favorite non-part was when the dude was trying to get a hold of the mcCEO (ronald or something) and there was no scene with him staring at the phone woefully, or pic od a dead girl, or any other emotinally manipulative crap. (what they dont show you in columbine is charton heston beating the piss out of moore and tossing him into the street)

MOORE ON DRUG COMPANIES --

Hopefully this movie will be more accurate than his last. My hope is he can tell the story about how drug companies basically give away free drugs to the poor and medically uninsured. I also hope he notes how the innovations and investments of these companies save lives.

My guess is he won't do either because that doesn't sell movies. Its too easy to criticize big companies. Drug companies, HMOs, all BAD BAD BAD, is what he wants us to believe. Ask anyone who is seriously ill and who is taking a life saving drug -- they are grateful to the drug companies. Kill the drug companies and you kill the infirmed in this country as you will hurt their ability to create new drugs.
