Checking the pulse on Moore's 'Sicko' Where in the world is Michael Moore? This time last year, word was that the incendiary auteur behind "Fahrenheit 9/11" had the country's top pharmaceutical companies looking over their shoulders in anticipation of "Sicko," his look at the American healthcare industry. But since then, the usually outsized Moore has been mum on "Sicko's" health. Calls to Moore and his production company's PR reprep went unreturned. His Website, michaelmoore.com, last mentioned "Sicko" on Dec. 23, 2004, linking to a L.A. Times report that the drug companies were up in arms over the pic. Moore's tactic of sauntering into major corporations and confronting execs no doubt became more difficult after "Fahrenheit 9/11" made him the docudocu bizbiz's most famous gadfly. But reports have said that Moore is using hidden cameras in doctors' offices to expose corruption within the drug biz. And a person close to the project says the helmer was most recently in Miami shooting at a weight-loss clinic.Stay tuned for 'Sicko' and if you haven't seen Fahrenheit 9/11, you're missing out.

Who's "Sicko"?
Shoot, I was hoping Moore's next film would be another one on Bush when I saw that title. But, it will be good to have the world's best documentarist rip at the drug industry almost as well.
Did you know that in the over 2 years that they have had time for rebuttal, not a single scene or episode in Fahrenheit 9/11 has been proven to be untrue? Excellent documentary and Moore had Bush pegged right from the start. Can't wait for 'Sicko'. Still think that would make a good title for a Bush sequel, though....
