Michael Moore Talks Sicko

Sicko Michael MooreSay what you want about Michael Moore’s political beliefs, you’ve got to admit that this guy knows how to make films that get people talking… a lot.¬† His next film I’m sure will be no different.¬† Sicko.

Sicko is the title of a documentary film by Michael Moore, scheduled for release in 2007. It will investigate health care with a focus on large American pharmaceutical companies and corruption in the Food and Drug Administration.  Soon after he announced his intention to make the documentary, several pharmaceutical companies sent notices to all employees instructing them not to speak with Moore.

A while ago, Moore put out an open request for people to send in their stories of their personal dealing with the Health Care System.  Apparently he got a lot more letters than he was anticipating:

"I received over 19,000 of them," wrote Moore in a letter to his online mailing list. "It was truly overwhelming as we literally took a month and read them all. To read about the misery people are put through on a daily basis by our profit-based system was both moving and revolting. That’s all I will say right now."

The only thing that troubles me is that you just know that hyper Liberals are going to be hailing this as the next great documentary of our time before ever seeing a single frame of the film, and hyper conservatives are going to be blasting it without seeing a single frame either. These extremists make me sick. Haha… get it… sick? oh shut up.
