The Bush administration is set to give Michael Moore’s new film “Sicko” millions of dollars in free publicity, potentially boosting it into the stratospheric range of Moore’s previous hit, “Fahrenheit 9/11,” which grossed $222 million worldwide in 2004.
On Thursday, Moore announced that he had received a subpoena from the Justice Dept. He says the [...]

We welcome a new addition to our blogroll, er, sorry Jon, “web sites list.” This one was discovered by Buck during his live reporting from Florida’s “Serve to Preserve” global warming conference.
Ecorazzi bills itself as The Latest in Green Gossip, with current features on Rob Lowe’s testimony in Washington on behalf of hybrids, Courtney Cox’s [...]

Angelina Jolie, who stars in the new film, “A Mighty Heart,” about murdered Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, is promoting the movie and its pro-press freedom message while tightly controlling her own interactions with the media.

Frosty Hardison supports the teaching of creationism and opposes sex [...]

Does it never end? Now NBC is reportedly refusing to run ads for the documentary about the Dixie Chicks, “Shut Up and Sing.” Before we go on, view the trailer.
Looks good, right? I wish it were released a couple of weeks ago and in wide release instead of only heading to New York and L.A. [...]

I’m already tired of hearing Bush supporters say that the crapudrama, “The Path to 9/11″ is no different than Michael Moore’s, “Farenheit 911.”
It’s different, morons.
A “docudrama” employs actors to portray real people who participated in real events.
Farenheit 911 featured a narrator, Michael Moore, presenting his opinion with newsreels, interviews, and other nonfiction footage to illustrate. [...]

You can’t help but wonder what prompted the British to make a TV movie about assassinating Pres. Bush. One thing’s for sure: such a film could never be made in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
The program uses actors and digital manipulation of real footage to show a fictional account [...]
