Michael Moore's The Big One on 9/28
from The Digital Bits
Here's a great bit of news for fans of director Michael Moore. Not wanting to miss a trick when it comes to cashing in on the recent blazing success of Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11, Miramax has announced that it will release his earlier The Big One on DVD on 9/28 (which would lead you to wonder if maybe Fahrenheit 9/11 will be out on, or shortly after, 9/28 from Lions Gate as well). The film will be released in anamorphic widescreen (1.85:1) with Dolby Digital 2.0 audio. No word yet on extras, if any.

Just once I would like there to be a post about a Michael Moore dvd in which some idiot does not reply. If you are not interested, keep it to yourself. After seeing Moore's films I hardly see how anyone can say that he hates America.

I'm with you. I HATE Mary Tyler Moore with a passion! May she die a horrible death!

Are the rest of his docs up to the standard of these 3 as I really enjoyed them. ?

But The Awful Truth can't hold a candle to TV Nation. That needs to be released in season sets.

This movie wasn't made as much to make a point like Bowling for Columbine or Farenheit 9/11. It was really just him documenting his book tour across the country, and talking with people along the way about how jobs are leaving America by the thousands, and the effects it has on small communities.
It's quite good, and I haven't seen it in years now because I lost my VHS tape of it awhile back. Good to see it hitting DVD.

But the issue here is that a thread was started about the DVD release. Mike came in took the thread off topic and insulted fans of the film. If someone came into a thread about the DVD release of a Roman Polanski film and started making rapist comments, I would expect the same response. There are other forums to discuss such things.
