BY TEQUILA MINSKY | On Sunday, Little Italy resident, fashion model promoter Judi Jupiter went to the IFC Center on Sixth Ave. and bought a ticket to King Cobra, a “ripped from the headlines” movie about gay porn.
When she discovered that Michael Moore , of whom she’s a fan, would be at the “Michael Moore in Trumpland” 3:20 p.m. screening, she changed her ticket, and sat in the front row.
In his new film, Moore performs a “Vote Hillary” one-man show in a movie theater in Wilmington, Ohio, in the aptly named Clinton County.
Jupiter, a Michigan native, was among those who asked questions during the Q & A following the film.
“Is St. Clair Shores [her hometown, a Detroit suburb] coming back?” she asked.
No, Moore said, it will take a while — young people will have to bring back cities like St. Clair Shores.
“Detroit is a black city. They know what it’s about,” Moore said.
She asked about the state of the Downtown Detroit art scene, and he responded, again, in the negative.
The filmmaker called New York City “a big plastic bubble,” and said he loves the energy, but prefers his hometown of Flint, Michigan.
Moore also said that it took him two weeks to make the Trump movie and that he would be on stage performing every night until the election.
Jupiter jumped up to be photographed with Moore, whispering in his ear the code word —“Michigander” — for people from Michigan. Full disclosure: This writer is also originally from Detroit.
“I could have watched it twice,” she said. “But I left after telling him I had a major crush on him and that I was going to be his next wife. He said I was very kind.”
