Spider-Man 2 Conspires to Silence Michael Moore

Spider-Man 2 Conspires to Silence Michael Moore

(2004-06-30) -- Spider-Man 2 is part of "a web of deception, a conspiracy to silence" Oscar-winning documentarist Michael Moore, according to the filmmaker whose Fahrenheit 9/11 is America's current number one box office smash.

"It's not just the cynical timing of the release of Spider-Man 2," said Mr. Moore, "but the movie endorses the unilateral and so-called righteous use of power to overcome so-called evil. This is a thinly-veiled rebuttal of Fahrenheit 9/11 and the entire security plank of the Democrat National Committee platform."

Mr. Moore added that buying a ticket to Spider-Man 2 is "tantamount to voting for George Bush."

Naki I am not sure if its even true but I thought it was funny as hell and couldn't help myself. I imagine it isn't American by the way the date is written.

Re: Spider-Man 2 Conspires to Silence Michael Moore

I don't know that doesn't sound too far fetched. There were a few moive theatre chains in, I think it was Texas, but I'm not sure. Anyways they were bought out by some right wing republican someone or other simply so the theaters would be owned by someone that would not show the movie.

Oddly enough, that's not the dumbest thing Michael Moore has ever said.

LOL.

Not that I'm defending Michael Moore, but I find it ironic that you have a hard time believing what Moore presents in a movie, yet are quick to take-up on something that might, or might not be, the product of somebody's imagination, and idle fingers, on the internet. Just because it happens to be skewed to what you agree with.

C'mon Carrrrrrnutt. You can't possibly believe that the release of Spiderman is some big conspiracy to derail Moores movie can you? I thought this thread was a joke so I didn't comment on it.
I realize you said "might, or might not be, the product of somebody's imagination" but you have to be leaning a lot more towards "might" than " might not".
