2. I doubt it. Not that the man doesn't deserve a break after 20 years of docs.


But he's got too much of the Jay-Z spirit to retire.

3. Canadian Bacon (1995) wasn't a documentary.
He wrote and directed that comedy.

4. He's made enough to retire on for a couple of lifetimes. More power to him to retire.
He says "you're welcome" too.

I should start writing and peddling books and movies; if it takes so little to get rich...

6. I wonder if the mainstream movies he wants to direct will have a political point of view

Moore has developed a very special voice in his various exposés of controversial subject matter. I hate for us to lose that voice and have a Michael Moore film become just another non-controversial feature film comedy or mystery.
