Ooh, Joy!

Mikey is making a sequel:

Michael Moore is making a sequel to “Fahrenheit 9/11” for Overture Films and Paramount Vantage, which will shop the project to international buyers when the Cannes Film Festival and market get under way today.

--snip--

Sequel will pick up where “Fahrenheit 9/11” left off. In the time since, Bush’s popularity has plummeted, while the Iraq war continues and the economy falters.

“It’s a vote of confidence on Michael’s part and a great partnership for all of us,” Rosett said. “There is a voracious appetite for this kind of commentary.”

Really? Is there? You think beating a dead horse has a market?  A dead horse who will be out of office by the time the movie is released?  I love this bit:

Moore’s decision not to make his next film with the Weinstein Co. comes after “Sicko” failed to ignite at the box office. Film, which took on the U.S. health care system, grossed $24.5 million domestically and $11.2 million internationally. Topically, the film didn’t resonate with overseas auds.

Yeah, it’s the Weinstein’s fault.  It’s not because the film had holes in it that were big enough that Mike’s ego could comfortably pass through them.

Anyway, we’re fired up about this.  We can use the traffic.  And the exercise of debunking Mike’s crapola.
