    I know this is very Larry King stream of consciousness of me, but what the hell....Michael Moore's films are not documentaries, they're experiments. Not experimental films, just experiments. Social experiments. They test the world in which they "document" to try and acheive a better understanding of it. They're scientific experiments. The only other movie of late that could be grouped in this category is Jackass The Movie. Done for different purposes but still utilitzing the same mindset and similar methods. Oh yeah, and to those who are trying to revoke Moore's Oscar because of negative portrayal of Charleton Heston and such need to watch the Fox News Network who feel that calling Moore a fatso is hardline objective journalism. News is just as subjective as anything else and lame junior high digs are stark proof of that.
