Manufacturing Dissent - Uncovering Michael Moore


A quick word about a “Captain Mike” review

Posted by JimK on 09/07/07 at 08:10 PM

In the comments to this thread, DVDGuy posted a link to a review of Moore’s new ego stroke, Captain Mike’s Giant Ego Trip And Exploration Of Paranoia And Trumped-Up Fluffery (I may have the name a bit wrong, not sure).  In that review, Todd Brown, a self-confessed Moore fan, has a lot to say, including this:

Mike?  You’re better than this.  And you’d better remember it before all of those adoring people forget why they cared about anything you had to say in the first place.

Todd?  I’m sorry to be the one to tell you this, but no.  No, he’s not better than this.  And to make matters worse, he never has been.  I too used to be a fan and thought Mike was fighting the good fight.  One day I woke up and realized that he was, indeed, fighting a great fight, only it was one designed to bolster his ego, cater to his paranoia and line his pockets.

Everyone should go check out Todd Brown’s review.  It’s very much something I could have written about five minutes after I saw Bowling For Columbine.

It always takes a little something extra to shake you up and realize what sort of person or people someone is. You may have a sneaking suspicion before, stuff they say might make you uncomfortable but you make excuses for them, hope you’re misinterpreting what they said. But then finally it hits a point where you can’t help but see them for what they are.

Sadly, I had that experience in about six chapters of one of the books put out by Protest Warrior. Guh.

"DVDGuy: I look forward to you ever saying anything that isn’t a snarky, assholish dig at this site or it’s authors.”

“In the comments to this thread, DVDGuy posted a link to a review”

You can bet money he ripped it off of some movie or book. He literally cannot come up with an original title to save his life.
