...a portrait of a man who... has never let the facts get in the way of a good screen story

Sounds like the DNC platform.

"He is the most successful documentarian of this or any epoch."

Wow! Obviously this urinal-ist thinks all docuemntaries are about politics?

As much a liberal as Mike "The Large" Moore, Ken Burns tops my list of documentarians in this "epoch".

J. Cousteau, too. That (recently deceased) French cinematographer that worked for NatGeo puts together better stuff than MM.

“So, even if he is found to have fiddled with the facts,”

The last time someone “fiddled” the way Lumpy Reifenstahl does, a major city in Italy was burning.

[Right Cal Gal]

Seriously true. Burns entertains, enlightens. The Civil War is, to me, quite frankly the finest of the genre.

[darkangel82]

He got a taste of his own medicine, and it didn’t taste good.

[VRWCmember]

The liberal author seems to have a hard time deciding which side to take in this liberal vs liberal story.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Baseball

Jazz

All examples of the pionnacle of the genre.

[Lancey Howard]

BUMP!

"But doing our film has actually ruined watching a Michael Moore movie for me. I'm constantly analyzing his facts now."

Well gee whiz! You actually are starting to care about facts in documentaries! How cute and novel for a liberal to do such a thing!

[irishfox]

I don’t think he even noticed. Liberals don’t usually understand when they ought to be embarrassed by their bad behaviour.

[Samwise]

Liberals never let the facts get in the way of their opinions.

[Right Cal Gal]

All superb. I own the DVD of the Civil War - worth the $100 I paid for it. Never got to see Jazz, unfortunately, but I absolutely LOVED Baseball.

Do you know if Burns is working on anything else. I love how he can interest you in subjects that you would otherwise dismiss as “knowing enough” about them.

"A man, who, despite the jolly, salt-of-the-earth image"

Huh??????

[GMMAC]

"... a hard time deciding which side to take in this liberal vs liberal story."

Agreed ... but to me worth posting as leftist cat fights are usually entertaining & illuminating and always amusing.

He’s doing a WW2 piece. There was some hubbub recently that he was short shrifting Mexican American soldiers.

Lies pay very well, except in the end.

[GMMAC]

Agree with you 100% on Ken Burns' 20-hours-well-spent "Baseball" (in spite of its lefty bias & Negro Leagues overemphasis) & just finished copying my VHS copy to DVD.

As for "Lumpy Reifenstahl" ...

[go007go]

So, let me get this straight, if Moore was nice to them, they would in turn be nice to Moore?

How about the truth no matter what?

Wall Street analysts and bankers, and corporate executives have been burned for this kind of behavior. You publish nice things about us and we’ll do IPOs and deals with you.

I’m glad Moore is being exposed for what he is (a big fat liar, with an emphasis on big, fat, and liar), but these “docommentarians” look like clowns too.
