Micky Moore is making a new crockumentery, and this time its about the financial mess.
I'm willing to bet, that its all going to be Bush's fault, and every thing 0 has tried was only countermanded by greedy Republicans looking to serve the fat cats of wallstreet.Quote:
Plot:
A look at the global financial crisis and the U.S. economy during the transition between the incoming Obama Administration and the outgoing Bush Administration.

Mr Moore..would you care to disclose your net worth? Including the shares you own in Halliburton?
No?
Didnt think so.
Any bets on if this will be a bigger flop than his last one? I'm pretty certain that people are sick of hearing about this and who is at fault. At this point people just want something done about it.
I didn't mind Moore until he filmed a vet in his film who later said that he didn't want to be used for Moore's film.Quote:

Also, read Michael Moore Is A Big Fat Stupid White Man.
The gist of it will probably be that something is wrong with all these CEOs making all this money for producing products and services that people want to buy. However, his Hollywood buddies, star athletes and rock stars making the same large sums are exempt from scorn, because....... well, I'm sure he will manufacture a logical reason.
To be fair, Hollywood, the NFL, NBA, MLB, ect. aren't in financial trouble and laying off workers while studio execs and team owners and front offices get rich. Their business' are booming.Quote:

Apocalypse, have you already seen the film? How do you know he doesn't focus some attention on Dodd and Frank?Quote:

Are economists putting more weight or blame on 2001-2006 or 2006-present? The whole issue in terms of causes and effects is so complicated and could be debated ad infinitum -- but to deny the Dems part in the financial mess would be dishonest on Moore's part.
I general like to wait until I see a film before reviewing it.
