I basically agree with your piece. I saw Am Car & it was not a great movie & it had little great satire; it was an overlong Sat Nite Live skit. But some parts, esp. the Michael Moore parts were spot on. You may think Moore, um, smart deep down because you’re part of the Hollywood crowd & see that he makes money, but let’s just say “Hi. I’m Michael Moore. I’m not a fool but I play one in real life.”
I saw Moore’s original movie about GM & it was amateurish & boring. He also needed an editor to, say, cut the Pat Boone stuff for a different movie. End of my going to see any more of his agitprop.
Anyway, based solely on a “read the whole thing” regarding MSM movie reviews, overwhelmingly by leftist critics, apparently the Left pro-Liberal agitprop movies are not really all that great on any level either & yet the critics uniformly give them all at least 2 or 3 “stars” or a “C+”, whereas Am Car was either not reviewed (why not; they review every movie, even Angelika ones that few see?) or portrayed as the worst movie ever.
In my local paper Am Car got an “F”, which rating I’ve never seen in that paper for any, repeat any, other movie. The paper reviewed W as a disappointment rather than a failure & rated it a “C”; the reviews found some good things to say about W but nothing good about Am Car.
Someone will cry “foul” at my criticism of MSM movie reviewers as virtually all “Libs” & claim that they’re independent. As someone has noted “The Herd of ‘Independent Minds’ ”.
