That face.

Gotta love the look on that fat scumbag's face.

Every silver cloud has a dark lining.
I hate to say this, but in a way 'Moby' ought to thank our band of intrepid rebels.
'Artistes' who want to 'express their grand vision' are, as I have said before, not too uncommon in hollywood.
They come, they go, and two years later their magnum opuses (opi?) are only watched by film majors who fast forward to the credits.
But this?
This is the start of a legend!
Whichever version gets suppressed, hordes of fanatics will scour the world for bootleg copies!
Video literati will spend hours arguing over which is better, or which is the 'true' film!
Most of tubbos films will sink into (deserved) obscurity.
This one will be remembered for a long time to come.


side note 1) There are plenty of 'artistes' in internet comics. My rule of thumb is if you have to go through more than one page on their website to get to the comic, the comic is going to suck. Usually lots of anime style gothic angst, dripping with deep and subtle meaning that isn't worth deciphering.

side note 2) My conscience insists I add this. Assuming that 'Michael Moby' is a parody of whom I think it is, I really shouldn't bad mouth his movies as much as I do.
I haven't seen any of them.
I may not be a farm boy, but even I can recognize steaming heaps of cow patties when I see 'em advertised.

And yet he's still not as ugly as his real-life model...

This is going to be a great movie!

Walks in and sits down and begins to enjoy the film.

D'ya think there was any left after he was at the concession stand?

*manages to sneak in a camera and start taping, hoping Moby's anctics won't be too loud*

Hmm... should be an interesting film... and the bootlegs will make a nice profit for Solidus' operation...

Nah, I gust felt I needed to watch my slim figure. At least after looking at him I felt pretty slim.

Compared to that industrial-sized vat of lard, Andre the Giant would look slim...

Hell, even Chad Rowan (Akebono) would look svelte.

Ah, I see, it's a parody of Michael Moore. Actually, parody isn't the right word. Cheap shot would be more accurate. Yes, let's make a rediculous spoof of the man to protest his polemical films. That will show him.

That will show them all.

Irony aside, I can appreciate that Moores rather one sided films have rubbed people the wrong way, so feel free to argue all you want. But to dedicate an entire story arc to making him look like an obese, slovenly, disrespectful and tyrannical jerk, that's just bad form.

I do enjoy your comics, but usually your fantasy is usually better than this.


See you in the funny papers!

With anyluck, the butter off that load ought to put his heart past it's limit, put him in the hospital, while the film goes out without him complaining.

GO BUTTER!

I see your point... but dude, nobody respects Michael Moore, outside of a tiny minority of highly vocal fanboys. Even mainstream leftist propaganda makes fun of Michael Moore, and he thinks he's on their side.

[Mike Fang]

Ooookay, well, I think that there's no doubt that fat ass is going to have a coronary by the time the movie's over, heheheheh.

Now the question is, once he falls on his ass, are Nip and crew going to get caught in the aftershock?

Okay, let's consider a few possibilities.

1. Fat ass tries to sue them for breach of contract. He'd ultimately fail, 'cause they infact did record his movie, they just also produced THEIR movie and swaped them out for the filming. (I think. If that was, in fact, his final copy that was altered and not a seperate reel of film, he might have a case. And let's face it, with today's court system, he'd win 'cause he can afford the most expensive lawyer.)

2. He could try to press criminal charges. That'd be a laugh. Most he's got is destruction of property, and even that might be a stretch since the crew had the authority to do that kind of work.

3. He tries to sue for intangable damages. That is probably the most serious possibilty. Journalists can get sued for libel and slander because of damages to reputation. Mr. Thickburger could probably make good argument that failing to follow his script caused his reputation irreprable harm.

Whatever happens, I think it's going to be difficult for Nip and his accomplices to come out of this completely unscathed. The justice system is just so deeply affected by the "to the hightest bidder" sort of process. They will probably win, if they've covered all their bases, 'cause even the sleaziest lawyer can't deny it when the letter of the law (or in this case, contract) has been met. But going through a trail is a bitch and a half on your wallet.

I got five bucks that says he gets mad, then realizes the ideals of being credited with a blockbuster smash, hears cash registers going off in his fat head, and then NASA will orbit a satellite around him.

Jupiter, all due respect, but RH has no need to make Moore look like that.

Moore's already done it to himself, for free.

The man has a certain amount of skill in film making, but I find his ethics altogether too flexible, his personal hygene rather disturbing, and his willingness to sell out to anyone if the price is right... all of these cause me to have little but contempt for him.

Too many - not all, not even a majority, but too many - on the left-ish side of the political forum tend to think with their hearts, not their heads. While I laugh at them for their "Oh, poor BAMBI!" and "Think of the CHILDREN!" outlook on life, I can respect them for their sincerity. They may be foolish and unwilling to admit that their worldview can't *work*, not anywhere short of Paradise, but they're sincere.

Moore, however, pimps his skills to the highest bidder, and cheerfully sells any "truth" you pay him to sell.

In the beginning, I suppose, he had promise, but he was seduced by the lights of Hollywood, and fell in love with the power. Now, I suspect, nothing matters to him save that he has that lovely, lovely spotlight shining directly on HIM.

Not much different from anyone in the business of acting. That's WHY actors act.

For that lovely feeling - all those people in the audience, cheering for YOU, wanting YOU.

*shrugs* Hell, there was a roman emperor who fell for that, or so the story goes. He found the cheers of the crowds so seductive, he supposedly took turns as a gladiator, merely to hear them cheer him. So much better than the fake cheers an emperor got...

Actually, this is a rather accurate portrayal of the man, based on reports of those who actually WORK with him. He's arrogant, abusive, double-dealing, disrespectful, tyrannical, and oh yes, a slob, though some percentage of that is part of his rather pathetic "act" to try and appear like "the common man." The conclusion, by all involved, is that he is not only an anti-american shill and weaseling opportunist, he is also, unsurprisingly, a complete dick.
