"Anyone see his cameo on Arrested Development a few weeks ago...? I got a kick outta that.."
Ahhh... another Arrested Development fan!!! =) David Cross is among my most favouritest people hahah =)
*coughcough*pleasedon'tcallf9/11anythingotherthanadocumentarybecauseitreallyison eandifyouclaimthatalldocumentarieshavetotellbothsi desofthestoriesthenyoureallydontknowwhatdocumentar iesare..onthatnoteifyouwantedtoseetheothersideofth estoryallyouhadtodowaswatchthenewsandmedia*coughco ugh* Whew, I must have come down with something!
I loved Roger and Me. I've watched it so many times now that I don't even have to look away at the rabbit part... Although it still gets to me equally as much every time, I don't sit there jaw-gaped like the first time! lol ...
The Big One was really good as well.. like someone said, he's brought the 'art' of documentaries to the attention of more people, and it's nice to see the increase in numbers...
And like Heather said... The Awful Truths are really good! They're more light-hearted than his full-length documentaries, but good nonetheless!! =)

It's a series made by Michael Moore... it's actually called The Awful Truth, but I pluralized it cuz there's a bunch of episodes =P ... Anyway, each episode is a composite of ..."outings" I'd say.. just where he brings certain issues to light. A lot of it is actually pretty funny, but serious at the same time. Really well done. An example is in a couple episodes he addresses the cruelty performed by a big-name chicken farm (With the use of a giant chicken mascot haha)... where not only cruelty is taking place, but also the residents of cities in a certain-mile radius are being affected by a certain type of bug that has infected the area... the bug was drawn to the farm by massive amounts of chicken feces and sick chickens, etc... As far as I remember, that's how that story went, but I saw it a couple months ago, and I have a goldfish equivalent memory =)
If you enjoy Michael Moore's work, you'll enjoy these!!! =)

Seconding the 
Yeah, I have the second season of Awful Truth on it's way 
My favourites so far are when Moore plans a funeral for the father of a 4-year-old and invites the CEO of Humana HMO. The man may soon die because Humana has denied coverage for a pancreas transplant...
and the one where Crackers the Crime Fighting Chicken gets arrested when he goes to Disney World to confront Mickey Mouse about Disney's less-than-stellar treatment of their employees...

I'm rolling my eyes mainly at the fact that you say Michael Moore's only good at fiction, whereas his facts that he represents are not facts that were constructed by himself, yet were facts that had already been published in media, if not American, then British, or other. I'm speaking of F9/11, of course, but it's not fair for you to say he makes fiction, when it's already been proven that his facts that he presented were indeed true.
On top of that, It's his documentary, and he can put forth any opinion he wishes.... That IS the point of a documentary... there are no specific rules saying that documentaries must tell both sides of the story. But that does not mean he altered the facts in any way.
AH Ok I'm just going to shut up now because I've had this discussion way too many times and de ja vu freaks me out!!
Trevor, you gonna check out the Awful Truth?

Michael Moore is nothing more than a manipulater of statistics and only the statistics that back up his point. He is just an ignorant master of rhetoric starving for attention.

Yeah but statistics can be used to prove anything. 37% of the population knows that.
