Michael Moore is up to something new and big!
He updated his website like crazy right after F911 came out. He told us to look for continued letters and updates. And for a while he wrote every day about F911 experiences and what was happening around the nation. Now as the buzz slows down, his letters have disappeared for over a month. His blog is similarly old. The last time this happened, he was putting out F911.

What's he doing now? Does anyone know what he's up to. I know he promised to be in Florida for the election, but that doesn't take months to prepare. I'll be looking for something big.

1. Appearing on talk shows, possibly?
He's been doing a lot of 9/11 promotion lately. That could explain at least some of it.

3. that's true, but I heard something here about a new movie...
I wish I remembered what, but somebody said he would be pushing a new movie to come out before nov. 2. I would have thought that to be impossible, but I don't know. I hope it's something cool though.

7. I hope you're right.
All I've heard is that he'll be monitoring the Nov 2 election in Florida with cameras.

8. the only thing coming out before 11/2
will be the F911 DVD. no way a 'new' movie could be ready. the next movie (SICKO, about HMOs) isn't even in production yet.

2. He's probably been working on the DVD
The extra/bonus footage doesn't make itself.

5. new project taking on HMOs
He's working on a new project, you're right:

Moore Moves Ahead with Sicko
Source: Associated Press
Tuesday, July 27, 2004

With Fahrenheit 9/11 becoming the first documentary to cross the $100 million mark at the domestic box office, director Michael Moore expects a smooth path on raising money to make Sicko, his critique of health-maintenance organizations.

9. I suspect he's preparing for two things, plus pumping F9/11.
First, I think he is going to do some amazing work at the RNC. Second, I'm betting that he's betting that Florida will be a bigger fiasco than last time, and he's most likely setting up his contacts down there. He'll most likely do what he did for the war in Iraq: he'll sneak people into the counties as anonymous journalists to catch the weirdness on film.

Does anyone else wonder if Moore has a preternatural sense for impending scandals?

12. He's busy Hating America...
Sorry. I was getting in touch with my "Inner Freeper." I'm feeling much better now.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if MM has something planned to mark the DVD release of "Fahrenheit 9/11."

16. I heard the HMO project and also
that he was looking into big media and what whores they are for their corporate masters. Please please please let the second one be true. It would be so wonderful to see the presstitutes picked apart on screen and for once held up to the public ridicule they so richly deserve. Our talking heads enjoy a level of trust they haven't even remotely earned.

18. I hope he does something on the media
I mean, how can he follow F 9/11 with a movie about HMO's? Since the media basically got a free pass in F 9/11, he should expose them in his next movie.

Can't wait to get the DVD!

20. Well his next movie is 'Sicko'
A movie about the American health system.

He lives on the East Coast and this is a nice time for vacationing. He might be on Cape Cod or something. It would be great if Moore got a long vacation while Bush's vacation was shortened.
