Hollywoodreporter.com: Moore kindles outrage along with pocketbook

Hollywoodreporter.com: "A historic thing is happening here in Hollywood this week. For the first time perhaps ever, a documentary feature is taking center stage. In a summer season chock full of heroes like Harry Potter and Spider-Man, a schleppy, roly-poly rabble-rouser named Michael Moore is eclipsing them all in terms of sheer marketing might.

In the year of 'Super Size Me,' a guy who looks like he might dine at McDonald's every day -- and has indeed admitted that it's his favorite cuisine -- is the man of the hour.

As the din of promotional racket grows ever more deafening for this Friday's premiere of his controversial "Fahrenheit 9/11," it's clear that he and his impact can't be underestimated.

America, meet your new Oprah."
