Film Critic Quote of the Week

David Weigel, on the witless-looking Michael Moore parody "An American Carol":

The liberals and left-wingers in the movie are psychopaths who willfully make things up, chant slogans mindlessly, and beat up people who upset them. This is the first Hannity and Colmes comedy, birthed in an echo chamber, with references that only make sense to people who are already die-hard conservatives... If you transported Zucker back to 1978 and pitched him Animal House, he’d direct Niedermeyer: Man of Iron.
I can't imagine a universe in which this movie could possibly be funny. And I say that as a liberal who can't stand Michael Moore.
