Default Sicko--Bootlegged Version

The computer guy in my lab just gave me a bootlegged copy of Sicko (by Michael Moore).

Should I watch it? (I'm going to watch it even if you say "no.")

And I'll pay for a movie ticket to make up for it.

Emphatically no. I don't have a problem with watching bootlegged movies, but Michael Moore is just a waste of time.

Even FOXNEWS gave Sicko a great review.

I don't have a problem so much with his politics as his audience manipulation techniques.

Agreed.

Michael Moore is a talented filmmaker. He doesn't need to use tricks or distort information to be effective, but he does anyway.

Hear no evil, see no evil, hear no evil, see no evil.

By the way, I hated it. It made me sick-o.
