MOVIE: Slacker Uprising

You may love him , you may hate him. Either way..
Here's his newest movie
Slacker Uprising
AKA
Mike across AmericaSlacker Uprising is a movie of Michael Moore’s tour of colleges in battleground states during the 2004 election, with a goal to encourage 18-29 year olds to vote, and the response it received. The film is a re-edited version of Captain Mike Across America. It is one of the first feature length films made by a known director to be released as a free and legal download online. The free download is only available to those residing in the United States and Canada (but i added a second option that anyone can get)

Get it free (trailers available here) from Mike's website. (You do have to sign up for it)

Meanwhile, they can't even give away the anti-Moore parody An American Carol, so insane conspiracy theories are being cooked up to explain its dismal box-office performance. Quoted from IMDB.com:

The producers of the liberal-bashing satire An American Carol claimed Tuesday that they had received reports of "ticket fraud," and suggested that it could be the reason why the film's weekend box-office figures were so low. On the film's official website, a notice asked those who attended the movie, "Please check your ticket. If you were in fact one of those people that were "mistakenly" sold a ticket for another movie please fill out the form below. Hold on to your ticket so we can have proof." The notice continued: "If you have noticed other irregularities with the theaters in your area please let us know in the comment section below. For instance, Rated R film rating (when in fact we are rated PG-13), posters not being up, not being listed on the marquee, image or focus problems, sound issues, etc." By today (Wednesday), the notice had been removed from the site but remained cached on Google.

Yikes. Meanwhile, Fireproof is freefalling in the box office, now that word's getting out that the movie, advertised as a Backdraft-style action-drama, is in fact a cinematic sermon in which the big rescue is that of a fireman's marriage through faith in Jesus.

News articles celebrating the huge performance of a "Christian" movie inadvertently (?) revealed that churches were buying up tickets and giving them away, and that the movie's profit ratio was aided by non-union "volunteer" production work, including child labor.

False advertising, phony ticket buyouts, and coerced labor. In other words, these "Christians" are using Scientology tactics. Again, yikes.

If I were to write these stories down on paper, they would be dismissed by studio heads as "implausible."

Billy - I agree with you. Its a shame the way they try and spin stuff. I saw some similar stuff awhile back with the 'left behind' movies and the like- trying to make a conspiracy out of nothing. ugh. I havent seen fireproff yet but it sounds like a stinker too.

Old piles of good sh... stuff

These are spotlighted items - not always 'old' because of when they were made but rather these are things that were posted awhile ago on this blog and have been 'archived' in the back.














I hope you enjoy the site!
