The lavish wealth of underdog-defending filmmaker Michael Moore has been laid bare in his divorce battle with now-ex-wife Kathy Glynn, and their breakup is the talk of their small Michigan community.

The couple called it quits after 22 years, with the divorce finalized on Tuesday at Antrim County Circuit Court in Bellaire.

According to Celebritynetworth, Moore and Glynn are worth $50 million, much of his success coming from documentaries protesting capitalism.

seems to me like we enjoy the negative stuff, looking down on others,, far too much for that to happen in this country

,,but that could change, I Agree, people may start seeking more of a BALANCE to the information we take in daily from others (good/bad)

,,,,I certainly hope so

Shouldn't this be in the political section? Just saying.

Funny you bring that up? I started it there, and it was moved....

I guess because originally it did start out about his movies, now it's all political back and forth.

It used to be so peaceful in the Movie section.

I like his movies.
He keeps it real.

Don't like repeating myself,
but gotta get this back on track.

isnt that the job of all political pundits,, from Oreilly to hannity to sharpton


to air their 'grievances',, also known as 'bitching and whining'?

lol

To describe this film as dishonest and demagogic would almost be to promote those terms to the level of respectability. To describe this film as a piece of crap would be to run the risk of a discourse that would never again rise above the excremental. To describe it as an exercise in facile crowd-pleasing would be too obvious.

nice pic...

Michael Moore is a propagandist who uses deception in his films in order to put people in a false light.

For example, attorney and ACLU member David T. Hardy exposes the fabrications in Moore's film "Fahrenheit 9/11". In a review of that film, Christopher Hitchens writes the following:



Thankfully, Moore's 9/11 deceptions are debunked in "Fahrenhype 9/11".
The fact the some people fall for Moore's deceptions doesn't mean that everyone does.

Getting back to the original topic, Moore's rant against military snipers is so foolish that even some liberal Democrats know it.

For every Dorothy there's a Wicked Witch of the West, so on the eve of the release of Michael Moore's Sicko comes Debbie Melnyk and Rick Caine's Manufacturing Dissent. But it's not that black and white: these liberal documentarists set out to make a film that celebrated Moore but after digging up a few unsavoury truths decided, in true, um, Moore fashion, to expose these falsehoods to the cinematic masses.

Manufacturing Dissent uncovers the ways in which Moore has fashioned some of his supposedly truthful narratives from fiction - cue memorable scenes from his films that turn out to have been faked. Remember that free gun for opening a bank account? Interviewees then attest to Moore's sins, but there are a few unnecessary character assassinations, like one contributor whose gripe is that Moore waddles. Helpful. But are Moore's foibles for the greater good?

There's no one out there doing what Moore does and reaching the audiences he reaches, having put the political documentary back on the cinematic map. But in our unfailingly democratic society, it's only fair that the man himself should taste the medicine he so regularly dishes out. The problem in making a documentary about Moore, though, is that it probably won't be as interesting as a documentary made by him, even if his techniques are used. Still, before Moore's leftisms become the gospel of the mildly politically motivated cinemagoer, it's time they were put up for debate and discussion, and that Manufacturing Dissent certainly does.

Is Michael Moore a self-regarding political liability who also screws with journalistic codes of conduct, or a wayward truth seeker who has no truck with compromise as he pursues fairness and justice?

We probably didn't need Deborah Melnyk and Rick Caine's film to tell us it is frequently the former. Just looking at the way he edits his films and plays unfair with his subjects would be enough. But Manufacturing Dissent unpicks his films, his larger than life personality and also tries to get an interview with Moore about his work. That this isn't forthcoming leads the viewer to wonder how much Moore has become like the subjects he films – wary and prickly – but also how much like Moore these two filmmakers become in striving to get that interview. A little more self-consciousness would have been useful here (to what degree have the filmmakers become the resentful stalkers themselves?), but this is solid and useful work. It is a Moore demolition job from the Left rather than the Right. After all, Melnyk admits from the outset she's sympathetic to his films and his politics.
