Was there a review of the movie in there, or just another anti-liberal (what does Moore have to do with this?) rant?
I'm not juxtaposing two films with such disparate subjects, I am merely comparing/contrasting the reactions of those with a more politically liberal point of view (dare I say bias) to a film with a liberal message and to another film with a more (assumed) patriotic subject.
It seemed that the original poster's (hford713) reaction to Flight 93 sounded very much like my reaction to Brokeback Mountain. I found that an interesting parallel; again, the reactions, not the films themselves.
As for Michael Moore, again I was pointing out the poster's problem with the Flight 93 director/producer making money, but lack of concern about Moore's remuneration for an endless diatribe based on unsupported accusations presented as a "documentary." It's the "two sets of rules" syndrome, one for those that coincide with your political viewpoint and another set for those who contradict it. That is a basic form of hypocrisy.
Believe it or not, I object to all forms of hypocrisy, whatever the source, and personally avoid it whenever I can. Unfortunately, liberal hypocrisy is so rampant and so hard to ignore. Pointing it out does not equate to a "rant," but then I don't think pointing out fallacies in reasoning equals a personal attack either.
Although I've been looking, the Flight 93 film seems to have come and gone before I could see it, so a film review is not possible at this time.
