Culture: “Canadian Bacon 2”: Michael Moore drops the documentaries?

  • I have been working on two screenplays over the last couple of years. One’s a comedy, one’s a mystery, and I really want to do this.
  • Michael Moore • Discussing his post-“Capitalism: A Love Story” plans recently. Does that sound like the kind of guy who will be directing documentaries for the rest of his life? We think not. (By the way, in case you’ve never seen it, we highly recommend his only fiction movie thus far, “Canadian Bacon.”) • source

Watch this trailer and tell us you don’t want to have a baby with “Tron Legacy.” And keep in mind that Daft Punk is doing the soundtrack. DAFT PUNK! There’s nothing that can go wrong with this movie.source

Culture: Well, that sucks. Appears major critics aren’t so hot on “Bruno”

  • The Washington Post’s Ann Hornaday, savaged Sacha Baron Cohen’s mock-doc, saying “the skits don’t add up to anything substantive, and even his swipes at U.S. politicians here seem gratuitously cruel.”
  • While Colin Covert of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune says Cohen’s latest is “a bit of a letdown” and notes that it feels padded, he still says “he’ll never run out of bigotry, idiocy and hypocrisy to spoof.”
