A new film is out later this year in the US taking the p**s out of Michael Moore. It looks quite amusing. Here’s the trailer. Some of the one-liners are excellent.

Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Will it come out in the UK? I doubt it, but one can always hope.
A tiny flame of hope burns after watching the coming
attractions. I may have to drag these tired bones to
the local theater.
I enjoyed Michael Moore’s first big movie, “Roger and Me.” I also enjoyed some of his brief television show, TV Nation. Then I found out that many of the scenes in his so-called documentary movies were faked and that many of the claims he makes in his books are plain lies.
Just this week, Moore has written to Caroline Kennedy, whom Senator Obama has appointed to help him select a Vice-Presidential nominee, to tell her to choose herself. That’s right, a man who has never run for political office is advising a woman who has never run for political office to try to put her own name on a national ticket. That he published his letter to her shows that his object in offering this unsolicited advice is self-publicity, the only thing Michael Moore really knows how to do.
I didn’t like the trailer. It’s looks like a string of cheap shots. If you want a good film (documentary, really) that takes the P*ss out of Moore, see “Manufacturing Dissent”.
When it comes to Michael Moore, no shot is cheap. He’s everything they say he is: a no-talent, egomaniacal, self-promoting fatass who has the number of every conspiracy minded nutjob out there and he knows how to deliver what they want. Facts have never been anything but an inconvenience to be ignored. The day this brainless, heartless, witless oaf’s death from overeating happens, I will celebrate his passing by drinking a bottle of scotch and toasting the fact that the world will now be a better place.
Zucker already made a movie dismantling Moore’s viewpoints. It was called Top Secret.
Another is the movie “Michael Moore Hates America”, which was quite good. It was very fair and reasonable, and talked a lot about the difficulty of keeping documentaries honest.
It looks like the sort of movie that will have people near pissing themselves from laughing so hard.
This goes down on my absolutely must see list. It looks sort of like a Mel Brooks movie. (I loved Blazing Saddles, History of the World Part II)…
