No matter what I’m doing now or what I do in the future, I’ll probably always be known as the guy who made “Michael Moore Hates America.” I often wonder why I picked a fight with Moore. I mean really,

Last week the United States Supreme Court held oral arguments over a fascinating question: whether or not the federal government has the authority to decide if a movie/documentary is a form of entertainment free from most broadcast restrictions or if

Many of you may not know this, but before my Hollywood escapades I was once the world’s most sought after fight analyst. By “sought after,” I mean that I was swiftly escorted off of The Fertitta Brothers property with a

Ben Shapiro and Tim Slagle have engaged in a little back and forth in recent days about rap and whether or not it’s crap. I read the original piece. The response. The response to the response. The myriad of comments.

I hate to say it, but we’re officially becoming a nation of sissies with radical leftists leading the cause. Tipping our hand to the enemy and openly “banning torture” defies all logic and denies the history of war. Now, before

Something didn’t sound quite right when I listened to Jon Stewart’s set-up for his sarcastic blast of CNBC’s Rick Santelli as a hypocrite who thinks federal bailout money for corporate America is just fine while a helping hand from Uncle

Michael Moore wrote a piece for the Huffington Post last week. I didn’t find out about it until today because I was doing more important things like volunteering and watching my 6 year-old daughter’s all-girl hockey team beat up on

NASCAR has become so much more than just an adrenalized racing sport. It’s a cultural touchstone, what the right rallies around whenever the next Michael Moore movie or Al Franken tome arrives on the scene. It’s ours. So it’s fascinating

Folks in Hollywood like to portray themselves as champions of the people. They proclaim support for socialists like Michael Moore; they decry the growing gap between rich and poor. Then they ask for tax breaks and pay raises. States across

It’s not that I’m offended by the idea of Obama pointing every barrel he can find in the direction of Rush Limbaugh. Seriously, that’s fine. What offends me is the lack of wit and charm in the attacks. Obama got

The Academy Award members painted themselves as a bunch of Commie rats last night, when they applauded madly during Communist sympathizer Sean Penn’s gleeful greeting to them after winning an award for portraying an assassinated homosexual leader, “You Commie, homo-loving

He’s the gift who just keeps on giving. This week’s featured Celebutard already figures like an incurable disease in my new book, “Celebutards: The Hollywood Hacks, Limousine Liberals and Pandering Politicians Who Are Destroying America” (Kensington). He is Sean Penn

During the 1963 Moscow International Film Festival, few doubted Federico Fellini’s “8 ” was a masterpiece. The film was not merely contending for the Grand Prize; it was clear that no conventional prize could put a tag on the sheer

As a child, I noticed something about adults that kind of bothered me. If you said one wrong thing to some people you could set them off. Even something innocent or harmless. I remember when I was 11 my stepmom

by special Big Hollywood guest correspondent Michael Moore. Hi, gang. Michael Moore here. I’ve been thinking a lot about patriotism lately. I had an interesting conversation with my friend Joe about this, and I thought I’d share it. So me

When John F. Kennedy was elected president, I did not believe it was possible to top the Kennedy cult fantasy craziness summed up by violinist Isaac Stern when he visited the White House: I felt as though I were inside

While I was growing up in the liberal New York, my father, a rock-ribbed Republican and immigrant from communist Eastern Europe, was prone to hold grudges against entertainers. Thus, The Boycott was instituted to include a wide array of comedians,

So spake Oscar Levant. Comedian Fred Allen had another great quote: “You can take all the sincerity in Hollywood and stuff it in a gnat’s navel and still have room for three caraway seeds and an agent’s heart.” Hollywood is

This Sunday’s Golden Globes ceremonies (8 p.m. EST) will give Hollywood one last award venue to bash the Bush administration. Is there any doubt some winners will jump at the chance to savage the president while he’s still in office?

When I was trying to make my first little documentary, subtly entitled “Michael Moore Hates America,” I begged for money. Nothing new there, as begging for money is as much a part of life for independent filmmakers as it is
