Michael Moore: Films
built 642 days ago
With the release of each film, Moore became increasingly popular amongst Democrats, and increasingly despised amongst Republicans. He made a guest appearance on Oprah alongside former Pink Floyd member Seamus the dog as part of Oprah's series on famous animals. Later that year, Moore married Kathleen Glynn, a producer, who fell in love with him "Because I loved everything about him, particularly his money." They have one child, a rather freakish walrus-human hybrid named Ted. They live in New York, where Moore has a large tank on the roof of his house that he enjoys swimming in when he isn't basking in the sunlight, or polishing his tusks.

Moore appeared several times on CNN in July 2007. On Wolf Blitzer's The Situation Room, following a Sicko fact-checking segment by CNN senior medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta, Moore chastised CNN, Gupta, and Blitzer for coverage of his films Sicko and Fahrenheit 9/11. Moore alleged that Sanjay Gupta misrepresented aspects of his film, Sicko, in the fact-checking segment. "He said the facts were fudged," said Moore, referring to Gupta, on CNN's Larry King Live. "That's a lie. None of the facts are fudged."

Sicko, Michael Moore's latest film, lambasts the failures of America's overwhelmingly private healthcare service. As the cases highlighted here by Ed Pilkington further show, if you're poor or lack insurance, you'll find yourself at the mercy of the world's most expensive medical system.

Did you know that documentarian Michael Moore's recent film SiCKO is nominated for an Oscar? As part of his effort to publicize this fact while still acting like he is attempted to do good crusade-y liberal things, he is holding a conference call this afternoon. It is about how unfair it is that his film might win an Oscar but the subjects profiled in it are still sick. Would you like to dial into this conference call and maybe ask Michael if he regrets making his film available for free on the internet, resulting in no one going to see it in theaters? Or just say something snide about Castro? Here is your opportunity!

Along the way, Moore won an Emmy for his TV show, TV Nation, and was nominated for an Emmy for his last foray into television, The Awful Truth. In addition to his current best-selling book Stupid White Men, Moore wrote Downsize This and co-wrote Adventures of a TV Nation. Other films include The Big One, a film that took Nike to task for hiring children to make its shoes, and Canadian Bacon, "the strangest brew of political satire and farce since Dr. Strangelove."

Moore himself is one of these ultra-wealthy few, with a net worth exceeding $50 million. On November 1, 2005, World Net Daily reported that the anti-capitalist Moore -- who had proudly declared "I don't own a single share of stock!" -- in fact owned tens of thousands of shares in U.S. stocks. Most notably, Moore owned more than 2,000 shares in Halliburton -- the gas and oil company he excoriated in his film Fahrenheit 9/11.
