Moorewatchers with long memories - you are needed

Posted by JimK on 06/07/07 at 07:14 PM

I just did an interview about the whole “appearing in Sicko” situation, and something strange came up - I was told that at one point, Moore shows a screenshot of this site, specifically the post where I thanked the anonymous guardian angel.  That is juxtaposed with a screenshot where all you can read are the words “Dear Michael, fuck you.”

I can’t find those words in ANY posts.  Not that I deny saying it.  Obviously I’ve been angry enough at various times to say exactly that.  In no way do I accuse Moore of Photoshopping this the way he did with that Pantagraph article in Fahrenheit 9/11.  Rather, I’d like to know the context, since context is something Moore tends to leave out.

Can anyone remember this?  The only thing I can think of is that it was lost in one of the two data crashes.  I checked Google’s cache and the Wayback machine, but I can’t find it.  Did I write it?  Was it one of the other authors?  Does anyone remember what the context was?

By the way, I was also told that the movie may have been re-edited, as I am no longer at the end, but rather 3/4 of the way in.  I’m not aware if that was how it always was, or if he moved the segment after the Cannes premiere.

Still, no matter where it is in the movie, it’s gotta be the most boring few minutes imaginable.  Can you imagine that conversation in the editing bay?

“Mike, are you sure about this?”
“Look!  I know what I am doing here.  Screenshots of a blog will tug on the old heartstrings and drive home the point that we need to revamp the health care system!  Copy & paste is a viable film technique!”
“It’s just that it totally stalls everything and doesn’t really amount to much as far as the larger narrative goes.  It’s a speedbump.”
“Did you win an Oscar?”
“No.”
“Well I did.  The screenshots stay!”

Hey.  He won an Oscar, he must know what he’s doing.  :)
