Iranian Filmmaker: 'Michael Moore Is the Most Famous Director in Iran'

According to one of Iran's most acclaimed directors, anti-American schlockumentarian Michael Moore is the most famous filmmaker in that Middle Eastern nation that so happens to be a sworn enemy of the United States.

As the New York Post reported Thursday:

At a screening of Asghar Farhadi’s critically lauded “A Separation” at Sony’s screening room, the Iranian director spotted the “Fahrenheit 9/11” filmmaker in the audience. Farhadi quipped, “Michael Moore is the most famous director in Iran,” and said everyone knows his movies because they’re shown on national TV there.

Although Moore didn't respond to requests for comment, one quite imagines he wears this like a badge of honor.

There isn't the slightest

There isn't the slightest doubt that Moore could easily be one of the Iranian regime's great heroes. Too bad Mussolini isn't around. He'd really like Moore. Might even hire him to make propaganda films.

Ol' Lardass Moron is popular

Submitted by killa37 on Thu, 01/12/2012 - 1:35pm.

Ol' Lardass Moron is popular in Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, and probably other places that appreciate his anti-American attitude, as well as his crappy-ass phony 'documentaries'.............I wonder if any of his garbage has made it to North Korea - he'd probably be some kind of hero over there - at least to the leaders, who all seem to be a little bit pudgy, as opposed to the people, who all seem to be at some stage of starvation.

Be on the lookout for his next journey into delusional film-making............some jaded account of the OWS bowel movement, and you can be sure that he'll be looking to rake in some evil profits from it, all the while railing against 'the rich 1%'!!!

Can anyone tell me if there is a BIGGER phony (literally) out there in LeftieVille these days???

Hum, the most famous director in Iran. Yea, that'll look good on a resume. Right up there with "most famous director in Nazi Germany."
