MSNBC: Will (Michael) Moore turn Katrina into film?

Will Michael Moore turn his cameras on Katrina?

The controversial filmmaker is “seriously considering” turning the devastating storm and its aftermath into a documentary, says a source. “It has all the elements that made ‘Fahrenheit 911’ such a powerful film,” says a source. “The political outrage, the human suffering, and the incredible footage.”

Moore’s rep didn’t have a comment by press time, but Moore certainly isn’t being silent about Katrina on his Web site. “There is much to be said and done about the manmade annihilation of New Orleans, caused NOT by a hurricane but by the very specific decisions made by the Bush administration in the past four and a half years,” he wrote. “Do not listen to anyone who says we can discuss all this later. No, we can’t. Our country is in an immediate state of vulnerability. More hurricanes, wars, and other disasters are on the way, and a lazy bunch of self-satisfied lunatics are still running the show.”

1. hmm...

I definitely think it could be beneficial, in the same way Fahrenheit 911 was.

2. What happened to the one

about the pharmaceutical companies? I was looking forward to that. Hasn't it been "in production" forever now?

8. Good, it's about time!

I'll start keeping an eye on it again, thanks for the heads-up.

9. No problem...

It's called "Sicko"

4. He should

but it shouldn't take three years to come out. It needs to be in the theaters in about six months. I don't know if he has the movie-making resources to do that.

7. How about in the fall of 2006

A few week before the election.

5. Will Bush turn Iraq into a photo op?

6. I hope so.

There has been a massive increase of spin lately. All coming from repukes trying to dodge personal responsibility.
