Michael Moore: GM Banned Me From Premiere - Screening Goes On Without Moore Present
Moore: GM Banned Me From Premiere
Screening Goes On Without Moore Present
POSTED: 4:15 pm PDT September 20, 2009

DETROIT -- Controversial Michigan filmmaker Michael Moore was escorted out of the General Motors headquarters building in Detroit 20 years ago while filming “Roger and Me.†And Sunday, when Moore once again brought a film to the Renaissance Center, compromises had to be made.
snip...
Moore rented out four movie theaters inside the Renaissance Center to screen his new film, “Capitalism -- A Love Story.â€
The film blames the economic crisis on President Reagan-era deregulation and greedy business executives who Moore said he believes undermined free enterprise by pushing for policies that benefited the richest 1 percent while hurting the lower and middle classes.
But Moore said when the leaders of the auto company realized it was his film, they told him he wouldn’t be allowed in.
"They have kicked us out, after we rented the four theaters over there. General Motors said that I could not be on the premises doing any interviews or press,†he said.
Both sides made a compromise that Moore would be allowed to still hold his screening if he didn’t attend, no cameras were let in and no crews were present.
"I legally rented the four theaters to have my Detroit premiere. And, yet, somehow, they're able to ban me from my own premiere here,†Moore said.
And a Dummy that knows not what is real in the universe, were not scared of the fattard (unless your thinking that he might eat one of us), what fat mikey actually does is disgust us.

2. They. Are. Scared. Of. Him.
Because it's easy to see that he's telling the truth. They can't STAND that.

Mikey Moore isn't "controversial". He's just a fatass blowhard that has a problem telling the truth.

Nothing screams hypocrisy like making a movie chastising the system thats paying you millions of dollars for it.

Michael Moore couldn't tell the truth if his fat ass depended on it....
Michael Moore couldn't find the truth if it WAS his fat ass and he had his hands in his back pockets....

Oh please. He was told he'd have to pay to for two seats and he got pissy. This is a non-story.

It wouldn't surprise me to learn this is a Mickey Moore publicity stunt. - have an unknown group representing him rent the theaters, then have someone he employs drop a dime on him after the fact to stir up controversy. .

Yes, MM is an idiot. Yes, MM knows how to fleece kooks. Yes, they're either stupid enough not to see it or arrogant enough not to admit it. Either way they both deserve each other.
