Interesting, Lindy
McFly — (archived)

There's an old adage (I think) that says something to the effect that we create heros so we can tear them down. There might be some of that happening here.

Something that can't be taken away from Moore, though, is that he's a terrific fillmaker, and I've admired him since Roger and Me. But filmmaker isn't synonomous with documentarian. And like I said, I doubt there's anyone who could withstand wide public attention for any length of time and remain "untarnished." Perhaps it's inevitable that sooner or later someone would find dirt on Moore (make up your own joke).

Personally I think the allegations against him are serious, and disappointing, and damaging. All it takes is a few faked scenes to call every frame he's ever released into question.
