Michael Moore is sick in bed after staying at a hospital in the ICU for a week with pneumonia — he is back home. (Worst part was having to watch Fox News at the hospital.)
He can’t get out and can’t promote his new film — “ Where To Invade Next.”
He is asking for our help in promoting the film:
I am now at home resting and binging on the Real Housewives of The Walking Dead. All my appearances this week and last week supporting the release of my brand new movie, “Where To Invade Next” (Conan, Bill Maher, Charlie Rose, NPR, etc.), plus a special primary eve screening tonight in New Hampshire, were and are cancelled.
Needless to say, I’m pretty devastated. This film means a lot to me. To be sidelined – I can’t fly, I can’t travel, I can’t leave the house – in this, the most important week before it comes out… well, you can imagine what I’m going through. Trying to get back to just breathing is enough of a burden. To think that my film may now not reach the audience I made it for, let’s just say that doesn’t help the healing process.
I did see it last year at tiff and did a quick review in a diary story blog: (spoiler alert)
