...important time for Moore. It was the last month of the Presidential campaign, which would serve as the electorate's first real referendum on the war, and the first month of the DVD release of Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11, which had earned an astounding $119 million at the domestic box office. (He has made three of the five top-grossing docs of all time. It's Moore, Gore and the penguins.) So to get out the youth vote for Democratic standard bearer John Kerry, and maybe move a few units of Fahrenheit 9/11, Moore went on the Slacker Uprising Tour...

Sex may not sell at the box office (audiences get enough of that in their home entertainment), but it's news at film festivals. And Lee knows how to stoke feverish whispers. When at Venice he was asked if the actors engaged in actual sex, he impishly replied, "Have you seen the film...
...island, I at least wanted proof I'd been there. Twenty years ago, Time's Chief of Correspondents, Dick Duncan, offered a case of fine Bordeaux to the first correspondent who filed a legitimate story from Diego Garcia. The equivalent in 2007 media dollars is probably a box of Chablis, but in any case I wanted evidence...
