What is Michael Moore currently watching? MSN's Sean Axmaker asked the director what's in his DVD player and the answer is kind of perfect:

 

"It's hard to imagine Michael Moore as a revolutionary filmmaker, but his record is difficult to deny. His 1989 documentary 'Roger & Me,' directed with what is now his trademark mix of satirical comedy and political theatrics, turned documentary filmmaking into an act of cinematic activism. 'Warner Bros. told me that they never had booked a documentary in a multiplex or a shopping mall before 'Roger & Me,'' recalls the director. With 'Fahrenheit 9/11,' the filmmaking rabble-rouser mined both Oscar and box-office gold with the first documentary blockbuster. Now he's taking on the broken health care system in America with 'Sicko' [opening Friday]. In the midst of a barnstorming promotional tour for a film sure to stir up political debate (and inspire a whole new wave of personal attacks upon the director himself), he took time out to talk to us about his films, his DVD plans and the documentaries he's watching."

 

"MSN Movies: What's in your DVD player?

 

"Michael Moore: I carry with me on this tour a portable DVD player and my laptop computer, and I'm in the process of watching a number of films for Traverse City Film Festival that I set up where I live up in northern Michigan. And tonight I want to watch this Mike Judge film that never got released, called 'Idiocracy,' because I really love his work."

 

Well, it did get released (in about seven cities and for about seven hours) but he's about correct. And, I'm thinking he'll like the movie.
