You know your film is crap when......

Ok here is a Turkish Muslim teacher who has penned and excellent editorial about the new Moore film.

He was lauded with a 20-minute standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival. A.O. Scott of the New York Times calls his movie a passionate expression of outraged patriotism. At the June showing of Fahrenheit 911 before the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science in Los Angeles, he received a standing ovation of over a minute.

And Michael Moore's most recent work spits in the face of my dead countrymen.

As yet another innocent person has their head severed by Islamic extremists, Moore apparently glosses over the fact that democracy, in general and America, specifically is under attack. I am innately aware that Michael Moore is first and foremost a provocateur, and he thrives on controversy.
