You Must Read...
Michael Moore is a Big Fat Stupid White Man. I just read it, and the authors sure do nail the Big White Whale to the wall. They dissect his movies and how he not only intentionally misleads the audience, but also uses outright fabrication in many of his sequences. They also dedicate an entire chapter to the definition of narcism and how Moore-on fits the description to a tee!
Next on my reading list is Hollywood, Interrupted: Insanity Chic in Babylon - the Case Against Celebrity.
UPDATE: After a long day, I find I cannot spell. It's NARCICISM, not narcism.

I read that book too ages ago. It is marvelous how they even discuss his deceptive camera angles--like when he interviewed chalton heston. if you see fahrenhype 9/11 the authors are in it.
