"As part of a campaign to promote their film’s upcoming DVD release, the producers of the Michael Moore attack doc Manufacturing Dissent have struck a deal to stream 40 minutes of the movie on AOL’s TrueStories documentary site. According to Variety, AOL’s Stephanie Sharis said they’ll monetize the event “by splicing adds into the video;” they’re hoping to get some free publicity from “plenty of blogs.” SuperBad held onto the top slot at the box office for the second weekend in a row, making it just the third film this summer to show such staying power. Meanwhile, the Weinstein Company’s losing streak continued with a sixth-place open for The Nanny Diaries. The New York Film Festival has announced three sidebars: “Views from the Avant-Garde”, an annual program featuring films by Ernie Gehr and Ken Jacobs; “Tropical Analysis: The "

"Late last Friday, I got an email from indieWIRE's Eugene Hernandez, pointing me to this, an "open letter" from film producer/professor John Pierson to his former friend and colleague, Sicko director MIchael Moore. I was traveling at the time and didn't get a chance to read the letter until today. An exemplary excerpt: You're on the side of the fucking angels with SiCKO and no lapses, omissions or oversimplifications can detract from its contribution to the greater good. But please baby please, let the movie, which you have so beautifully made, do the talking. My instant reaction was that Pierson's letter, which is in some ways meant as propaganda in favor of Manufacturing Dissent (the pseudo-expose of Moore in which Pierson appears, and which recently provoked an expletive-laced reaction from its subject), managed to put forth the arguments made in that film with a clarity and aggression sorely mis "
