As for his book.... what's in it that we haven't already heard?
It looks like there's plenty in it that we haven't already heard. This is the first fully autobiographical thing he's done - though 'Roger & Me' did touch on a lot about his life in Flint, Michigan.
HAHAHAHA ... all his movies are about him!!!
Ok, I'll stop shitting on your parade. Here's to hopin you enjoy the book.
I'll give Mr. Moore credit for 1 thing, he helped bring back some love for documentaries in the mainstream (even if I don't like his style of documentary). And he can certainly pimp himself, should be in marketing.
The flip side of that is that I think since he is such a huge fame whore people think that because he is the most famous documentary film maker he must be the best. Even though I saw Bowling for Columbine and as a documentary (regardless of the politics of it) I didn't really think it was that good. Plus I really hate the whole ambush style of interview he did a bunch of times in that movie, since the only point of that kind of move is to make the person asking the question look good and to make the other person look like an asshole no matter how he or she responds.
