Brand New Trailer for Michael Moore's 'Capitalism: A Love Story'

I know his fine documentary movie making skills are some what due to good editing , but , someone's gotta point an upright index finger at the guys who make a mess of things. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhydyxRjujU

and now....an opinion

(not aimed at you Twister)
I have seen all of Michael Moore's films i believe. I have ultimate disdain for the cretins who run the likes of Enron,global crossings,AIG,Adelphia, so on and so forth. However, Michael Moore is the most self righteous, egotistical, arrogant, pontificating buffoon to ever get behind a camera. His films bring new meaning to the genre of fiction and make Lord of the Rings look like a documentary. He has a snowballs chance in Guam of ever getting any more of my movie going dollars. rather than suffer through another of his two hour self promotions, i would opt for something more pleasant.....like shaving my head with a cheese grater while chewing on tin foil.

But he is beautiful and smart, don't you think. He would be a good sheep rancher in southern Utah...

yes its unfortunate he now enjoys the smell of his own farts a bit to much , that's what happens to some folks who get a noble cause highlighted , but he's the only guy highlighting the financial crimes that made a mess a things , I'd go to the movies for it , rarely any good movies at the flicks these days anyway.

This could be just what the "Village People" need for a resurgence in their career, adding a sheep rancher to their entourage! Although I still don't think they're allowed to play Utah!

Maybe they could parody their own parody.......;

It's fun to play with the, "S--H---EE--P"!........., Ah oomph, ah oomph, ah oomph, I do!

OK, If you couldn't figure out by yourself that Bush was/is an imbecile, by the act of him opening his mouth and trying to form a sentence, God help you.

I'ts pretty much common knowledge that, Wall St. Bankers, Hedge fund managers, the house of Saud, and New Jersey politicians, are the biggest parasites on the planet.
It's also common knowledge, that fraud, unnecessary testing, and fradulent billing are the largest part of health care cost.

Michael Moore has gotten fairly rich and notorious, by exposing the obvious and commonplace. What he sadly hasn't acomplished, is precipitating any change for the better. I don't blame him for this, it would take a miracle.

You just have to listen to the stupidity of the opposition to health care reform, to know that people are incapable of thinking for themselves, which provides the opportunity for the medical lobby to whisper a bunch of self serving BS in their ears. Or for that matter, having the worst president in history send 150,000 soldiers to Iraq, to look for "weapons of mass destruction. This is what happens to a people when they elect **** Cheyney to whisper in some meat puppet's ear.

Yes, and we lost a lot of respect in the world when we reelected him. That was a deep embarrassment, and a display of stupidity unparalleled in the annals of American Democracy

The problem here is sort of biblical, "the seed that fell on stony ground withered". Mr. Moore in many cases might as well be talking to potatoes, so how much good does that do?

The trouble isn't entirely media BS. there are so many here that simply either don't care, don't understand, couldn't be bothered, or have their noses up some celebrity's a**. I've heard is said that the fastest, if not the only growing section of the magazine industry, are gossip rags like "OK", "People", and their ilk. It's really hard to get through to their subscribers. I don't question Mr Moore's motivation or necessity, I question his efficacy.

Speaking of hard to get through to, Twister, I'd consider it a personal favor if you would put some effort into learning to format your posts with respect to quoting. It's a lot more pleasurable to have the post formatted properly, perhaps even easier to understand, in phrase and reply form.

Jeeze, you are out of touch, I'm fairly certain Paris doesn't have a muff, she and Britney are running bare floors as it were. Oh, and Lindsay Lohan is an amateur lesbian, Anne Heche got married to a man, and Portia DiRossi married her ex, Ellen Degeneres.
Heidi and Spencer are total a**holes, world class ******, barely worthy of contempt, let alone celebrity.

How does this help the global warming situation, it must, somehow. I suppose, if we're not out driving our cars while we're watching them, it could, at least a little.

Dude, a blow up doll should be able to give Sarah Palin a run for her money. Although that's probably not how it will go down.
