"Capitalism: A Love Story"

Director Michael Moore revealed the title of his newest documentary – “Capitalism: A Love Story”:

“It will be the perfect date movie,” Moore said in an announcement Wednesday. “It’s got it all — lust, passion, romance and 14,000 jobs being eliminated every day. It’s a forbidden love, one that dare not speak its name. Heck, let’s just say it: It’s capitalism.”

The film is described as focusing on “the disastrous impact that corporate dominance and out-of-control profit motives have on the lives of Americans and citizens of the world.”

The movie is slated for release on October 2nd, a year and a day after Congress passed the $700 billion Wall Street bailout.

Didn’t realize this, but Moore has directed three of the top six B.O. documentaries of all time: Bowling for Columbine (2002), Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004), and Sicko (2007).

  1. Michael Moore makes me feel tired. I really don't have the energy for all that rage.

  2. Yeah, pointing out what's wrong with America and trying to inspire people to make changes is exhausting. Hopefully someone else will take care of it while I nap.

  3. C'mon, his documentaries are pretty entertaining as well. He's really good at what he does. Other than that, what you take and interpret from his movies is entirely up to you. Rage? I feel rage when they build up, then destroy, then build up to destroy again in the future the image of Michael Jackson, so rage is a very personal thing.

  4. Hey Steve, I'm a teacher in an inner city public school. I prefer to do stuff about our problems instead of complain.
