Greedy or Worthy?

Money, money, money!!!!!!
Michael Moore is reportedly banking $20 million for the sequel to Fahrenheit 9/11.
The follow-up is expected to cost $7 million to make, which means Moore would pocket $13 million, regardless of how well the flick does.
Fahrenheit 9/11 grossed $219 million.
Good for Moore!
It's called being a savvy business man, right?
You know he didn't get as much as the studio did of the $219 million made off the first installment!

I totally respect this man.
He has done more to open America's mind to the political process and the atrocities that go on day to day, than anyone else.
Funny how Hollywood bemoans the rich but they are all filthy rich themselves, they want the government to come in and tax the hell out of people or a couple making two hundred thousand dollars a year which these days is peanuts, and not really the 'rich', 80% of Americans are employed by people who own small business and they all make around that much money, how do you think they will survive, by cutting back on workers and investing less to grow their businesses, while Hollywood types rack in millions and millions will not be effected by these ridiculous taxes rates that Obama wants, because they have enough money to to hire smart people to hide it in countries that don't tax their people to death. Obama will bring back the Carter years, weak foreign policies and a economy in runes .
Why don't you Bush bashers read some history and see want high taxes on the so called rich and appeaser to terrorists President did to America, unemployment over 10% interests rates and inflation in the mid teens and look at today with low taxes and a capitalist economy with trade around the world has done even with terrorists attacks in 911 and a housing bubble even with gas prices higher today, taking into account inflation it has not destroyed the economy as it did in the Carter years, unemployment today is 5% , low interest rates at 2% even inflation is less than 5%, people employed has reached all time high in American history at 156 million, and people act as thou this is the great depression, wait if and when Obama is ever the American President, you'll see what a truly awful man with worst ideas would do to America.
He is just plain butt ass ugly…inside & out. He makes me want to vomit. The title of his next piece of shit film should be…."I'm A Sick Rude Bastard!"
Who's going to see this movie but people overseas, especially people who want to destroy America and they don't give shit if it President Bush running America or anyone else, wake up losers there is a reason why America hasn't ben hit since 911 and it's not because terrorists aren't trying. You know that the 219 million that Fahrenheit made only 80 million was made in America and most of that was liberals seeing the movie over and over again, the rest was made in foreign countries. I hope the fat cow Moore chokes on his 20 million, fat ugly scavenger, feeds off of other people.
Haha good for him? He JUST dissed your ppl perez.
Re: sammy – Uhm, you have it backasswards. I think the world wants America to quit destroying OTHER countries. How many foreign battleships and tanks and personnel have pulled up to YOUR shores, dude?
You are, however, leaving a foreign policy legacy that makes your stated position more and more likely each and every day…
What fucking retard said under the Clinton years was the best economy, your the fucking retard Clinton had nothing to do with the jobs of the 90's that was a technology revolution and the personal computer, Bill Gates had more to do with the economy of the 90"s then did Bill Clinton, and in 2000 it all went bust with the dot.com bubble bursting followed with the the stock market crash that lost over 2 trillion dollars and on top of that was 911 something else that Bush inherited from Clinton inaction, and throughout all that Bush's 7 and 1/2 years the average unemployment rates has been 5.1 and guess what it was under Clinton eight years, 5.2 %, so don't tell me who has kept this country safe and prosperous and it wasn't that rapist Bill Clinton.
That is wonderful!!!! I am sooo happy he is getting paid. How much is it worth to us the public for someone else to research and interview and seek out the truth for us and then make a movie outlining all the lies that our own (Well, the American)government has been duping us with. I hope he makes even more money for having the determination and grit to publicly out that real terrorist Bush. Bravo to you Michael Moore. I mean it is amazing he has not been assassinated like JFK. I love you Michael Moore keep up th good work and i cant waity to see what you come out with next. In a world full of smoke and mirrors you ignorant idiots should thanks your lucky stars that you have national dissednters that are willing to tell the truth in such a manipulative and greedy SOCIETY!! YAY!! Michael Moore!!!! Michael Moore for President!!!
Re: tucsonmom – Really???? maybe if you had a proper education you would too.
Re: LizCH – Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: NEW – are you fucking kidding ?????? he is an extremist When you are so caught up in only one point of view it can not come close to being a reality
Re: Manhattaniterbiter –
glad to see that you are proud to be a mindless brainwashed follower
get your own facts and opinions……I wish he was the only one in the towers on 9/11 so maybe then he could blame bush for all the prob. DEMOCRATS PLEASE STOP CRYING ABOUT EVERYTHING…….
Re: Rachel – I LOVE YOU!! COULDNT OF SAID IT BETTER
Re: fuck off –
You are joking right? Clinton did NOTHING kept the country at bay while nothing was going on…..oh and Bush started the war??? may if you tree hugging dem would allow the drilling in the US just maybe we wouldnt have to get it from everyother nation But oh we cant do that lets all just by hybrids
WHY are DEMOCRATS such big cry babies and sooooo closed minded
Re: Chris –
oh thank you i wanted to add that to my comment as well……crybaby democrats……..how about you scumbags learn to manage your $ and not on the goverment to bail you out.
Re: fuck off –
Don't call someone the 'C' word, it's nasty.
And if the treehugging liberals would let us drill in Alaska we wouldn't have this issue.
Re: NewYorkMinute –
yes it was great and our soldiers didnt have to be PUSSIES I say drop a bomb on them all and call it a day
Re: tom –
Tom, you are my hero! Very well said about Obama.
Re: CanadianPrincess –
Go back to Canda skank. Our goverment doesn't matter to you.

He looks like fucking Jabba the Hutt!!
fuck that commie bastard
Re: LizCH is a HERPES riddled WHORE – Wow and your reasons are OBVIOUSLY well researched. NICE
Re: faterikcartman – THANK YOU
He gets to make money - that's all!
this is officially the last i will hit perezhilton.com. get your shit straight perez. i find your views sickening. keep feeding the ignorance that is america.
-once a loyal reader
Re: fuck off – seriously, are you RETARDED? i can't even imagine someone being as dumb as you are with that last comment. i initially came on here to comment about the MM topic, but holy shit your comment just blew my mind. do yourself a favor and go do some research…really any research at all, it won't even matter if you are a dem. or rep. our economy was absolutely in the shitter when Clinton took over after Bush sr. go ahead and enlighten yourself and compare the numbers…i am embaressed for you.
Re: NewYorkMinute – right, and we wouldn't have any of those wonderful things…education, health care, public services without first living in a country that is free and beautiful. I want my money going first and foremost to protecting my country, my family, and our liberities herein. all of those things you mention would not exist if we were to be overrun and destroyed by enemies and terrorists who want nothing more but to see us all die.
Re: sean – THANK YOU! THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT MY COMMENT ABOVE WAS REFFERING TO. it seriously blew my mind when i read that he said "our economy was the best it ever was during the clinton years"… downright unfathomable to me that someone could be so far off base…that is not even an issue of politics, that is just straight numbers and facts.
A republican homo?
Perez, you are the gay Bill O'Reilly.
Re: Chris – Uhm, Chris, I was referring to Al Franken's book from 2003, Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right. It's a book of political commentary and satire by the comedian and political commentator. I can't believe you didn't get that one. It's a funny read; you might appreciate it anyway even if you lean right.
He's worth every cent. Agree or disagree with him, he still makes Americans THINK and QUESTION. We've turned into a nation of complacent sheep and now we're paying for it with chldren filled with rage because they have no hope for the future, gas that is 4 dollars a gallon, no health care, and food we can't afford. He's doing more than building schools in Africa, adopting children and encouraging the rest of us to go green as he flies off into the sunset in his private jet. He is WORTHY.
atleast he isnt mccain sayin our troops should stay in iraq for 100 yrs….
atleast moore lays the truth out there!
go obama.
yes we can!!!!!!!!!!!!
michael moore is a greedy, fat, privileged, white male, just like all the other bastards he bashes!
god, if anyone deserves money, it's michael moore. at least he will use it to get stupid fucking americans a fresh perspective on govt. hegemony. we need a voice to question power and make us all think. everyone should know our govt. is corrupt, simply by looking at how these assholes treat our soldiers. 7 tour duties? can anyone argue this is fair treatment to our military? min. wage? can anyone possibly think this is decent? pollution? are we really supposed to allow our corporations to kill us with their lazy disregard for chemical run-off? nuclear power? can any intelligent human really think this is a good long-term solution to energy? and yet, here we have the bought-off media blabbing-away the inherent beauty of these arrangements. BULLSHIT. thank god someone like michael moore has resources to bring "questioning power" back into the consciousness of america…we haven't had much of this since the 60's–when COINTELPRO squashed activist groups and then bought our media to rewrite history. FUCK THAT. question our govt. question power. question why cause and effect relationships are blindly accepted every day. even if you think moore is "fat"–even if you read something that tries to discredit him–he at least provides a well-needed service to us–to wake up, be challenged and THINK. (you won't get much of that on most tv propgrams or hollywood movies…)
Re: miranda –
Our troops wouldn't be in Iraq if the tree hugging liberals would let us drill in Alaska.
Pulling out isn't the answer ethier, can you say hello bombs?
I put Michael Moore in the same level of Hell as Hitler and Alec Baldwin
9/11 HAPPENED YEARS AGO. WE COVERED AS MUCH AS AMERICA NEEDED TO AT THE TIME. MOVE ON. SHIT HAPPENS. WE WILL NEVAR FORGET!
Please move on, there's nothing to cover about. Mr. Moore needs to direct his attention pioneering other troublesome issues the world has yet to properly cover.
Moore is such a hypocrit. Where does all his money go, straight to himself thats were. He doesn't even employ any minorities at his main office.
Wow, it seems Perez's changes friends quick than he does his clothes. One minute Michael Morre is good, the next he's bad for bad mouthing Cubans. MAKE YOUR MIND UP FAT BOY, you either like MM or not. Your such an anal douche.
George Bush sucks and all, but Michael Moore sucks just as much in the other direction.
