Capitalism: A Love Story
Love him / Hate him film maker Michael Moore has made a new film to show his views on the US economy and on the major banks surrounding the bailout/collapse etc.

It was due to be out 10.2.09, but I was able to get into the advanced screening on 10.1.09 here in Phoenix for free, as Phoenix has one of the worse (if not worse) foreclosure rates in the US, so Michael Moore has allowed us (the jobless, penniless people ) to view the movie for 0 cost.

Has anyone seen this movie yet? Your thoughts on the issues he brought up?

Puleeze.

Michael Moore stands to make millions from his Capitalist film endeavor which rails against Capitalism. The entire premise is 100% hypocritical, and if it were not for the very Capitalism he rails against, nobody would see his film, because it could not have been made.

Moore is attempting to make a case for Socialism, nay, Communism, even though niether of those systems would have allowed for him to produce the very work he is presenting.

Hypocrisy understates the absolute bull crap found in this garbage.

If you paid $0.00 to see this piece, you were over-charged.

Well we know LAN didn't see the movie. He just regurgitates his old worn out rants with his craptastic comments.

There's about as much chance of me going to see that movie as there is you buying Ann Coulter's latest book.
