[movie] Michael Moore – Slacker Uprising
from Free iTunes
“Slacker Uprising traces Michael Moore’s 62-city tour of the swing states during the 2004 Presidential election and records the thrilling – and frightening – response he received across the country. Moore’s goal was to convince millions of non-voting ‘slackers’ – mostly between the ages of 18-29 – to give voting a try. Starting out in Elk Rapids, Michigan, in front of an audience of 400, the tour caught on like wildfire with up to 16,000 slackers each night coming to see Moore and his traveling band of speakers, comedians, and musicians. To encourage the slackers to show up, they were offered a clean change of underwear, free Ramen noodles, and a promise that no event would start before noon and no politician would be allowed to speak. These enticements filled basketball arenas and concert halls every night on the Slacker Uprising Tour. Along with Moore’s appearance, lacker Uprising features live performances or appearances by Eddie Vedder (of Pearl Jam), Roseanne Barr, Joan Baez, Tom Morello (of Rage Against the Machine), R.E.M., Steve Earle, and Viggo Mortensen.” — iTunes Store

Genre: Documentary

I’m pretty open about my politics, and I’m happy to discuss them with anyone. However, I don’t think shouting at anyone ever changed their mind. Just ask my kids.

While I don’t like Moore’s in your face politics, I do appreciate what he has done for Traverse City. He restored the downtown State Theater, he started the Traverse City Film Festival. He’s brought class back to town and tourism. He also makes T.C. a priority even when it interferes with his schedule. He told everyone this summer at Madonna’s Film opening, that his next film will be home based out of T.C. and he will be using locals as his crew as much as he can. So whether I agree with his political views he is a good person and believes what he does is for the greater good. BTW, we see him around town alot. I see him at Borders more than other places.
