Michael Moore “Silences” New Movie “Shooting Michael Moore”

“Shooting Michael Moore” is a new movie critical of filmmaker Michael Moore.   The film was put together by a schoolmate of Moore, Kevin Leffler.   It now appears “We The People” are not being given the chance to see the film much less to decide for ourselves.

“It was listed, and now it’s not, and, obviously, the pressure got to them. Wow, amazing — that he [Moore] was able to move a national theater chain like that,” Leffler told reporters.

The flick was supposed to begin a one-week run in Traverse City, however, pressure put on Carmike’s Horizon Cinemas (a national chain of movie houses) by Moore and his people, has directly caused its cancellation.   Moore organized a press conference to send a strong message that showing the movie would equal large numbers of Moore supporters picketing in front of every box office.   It’s clear the movie chain folded under the pressure and who can blame them in these difficult times.

Moore, who is an Oscar winner for such hard hitting documentaries as Bush bashing “Fahrenheit 9/11″, “Bowling for Columbine” and the GM Motors thrashing “Rodger And Me” obviously did not like the idea of Leffler making a film about him, Leffler is a buddy of Moore from his school days.
