In relation to this, I strongly suggest seeing the documentary by Michael Wilson, Michael Moore Hates America. I was seriously impressed with it. Wilson paints a very accurate picture of Moore, using Moore's own narrated journey documentary style. Wilson also makes some great statements about documentaries as a journalistic art form. This documentary is very serious about itself, and at several points stops to examine its own intentions and methods.

How ironic that the single review on Rattle's IMDB link gives the film a piss poor 1/10. Now I *definitely* want to see it. :-)

Its too bad MM had to go and dick around so much...he really could have been brilliant. Bowling for Columbine had a few righteous NRA overtones, but F9/11 was shamefully biased especially with respect to the facade of showing the "true" story.

My newest favorite pop-documentarist is Morgan Spurlock. A little alarmist, but at least he's willing to put his neck on the line.
