Eminem's Latest

The Hollywood Reporter has a cover piece on Michael Moore and his upcoming film Fahrenheit 11/9, which is about Donald Trump.  While I wouldn't call his films accurate depictions of the world as it is, they're often entertaining and, considering how many people can't get enough of attacks on Trump, his latest has a good shot at making decent money.

Will it effect the elections?  Doubtful.  The GOP look like they're already in trouble this November, but Moore generally preaches to the converted.  I'm sure you remember Fahrenheit 9/11, his big anti-Bush film released just in time for the 2004 election.  And I'm sure you remember how that election turned out.

Regardless, the film doesn't sound like much:

Fahrenheit 11/9 is at its most provocative when it veers away from Trump's ascension to recount Adolf Hitler's rise, with an emphasis on how the media in the 1930s, from The New York Times to the Jewish Press, normalized the Fuhrer.  Moore insists he isn't making a direction comparison between Trump and Hitler but rather making "a serious point about fascism"...

No he's not.  He's making an absurd and obscene argument that shows complete misunderstanding of fascism, the media, Trump and how to rationally debate an issue.

Any fool can make facile comparisons between Trump and Hitler, and how the press covered them.  You could do the same thing with Obama and Hitler--it might be easier, in fact.  Fahrenheit 11/9 was never going to be fair, but if it traffics in this sort of idiocy, it can't be worth watching.
