… and it’s even more inflammatory than I thought it would be. Like most movie trailers, it doesn’t tell you much about the overall direction of the movie, but the trailer snippets have to be seen to be believed. Anyone who had any doubts about how Michael Moore feels about the Bush administration won’t have them anymore…
The trailer is here. The movie is slated for release June 25. I’m sure the controversy will only escalate from here. It’s funny how many critics start coming out of the woodwork once people have actually seen the movie.
One thing that really grabbed me about the trailer was that Moore is still representing himself as a “man of the people.” Some people would beg to differ with that.

Thanks for posting this. It’s even better than I thought it would be.
You beat me to the punch on this one. I saw the trailer a few days ago but I’ve been out of town. The trailer was enough for me… it has cemented my reasoning for not going to see the movie.
I saw:
- Statements taken completely out of context.
- Statements that were probably stated in a joking manner presented to look serious.
- Grandstanding by Moore.
Anyone who takes this as a legitimate documentary is either naive or needs their head examined. Of course one of these will apply to the Academy of Motion Pictures and Arts since they will no doubt give it an Oscar for Best Documentary.
The only consolation I can think of is that Moore has lost all credibility with the mainstream public and that his films will be taken for what they are: Blatant, one-sided propaganda.
