Politics: Michael Moore sticks his fat, grubby dagger into capitalism

  • Capitalism is an evil, and you cannot regulate evil. … You have to eliminate it and replace it with something that is good for all people and that something is democracy.
  • Michael Moore • In the ending monologue to his new movie, “Capitalism: A Love Story,” which is hitting the Venice film festival today. His reasoning? Capitalism – at least the form practiced on Wall Street – is damaging to our economy, and bankers and investors are gambling with our money. He has a point in the midst of the rhetoric, but considering that we have a president who regularly gets called a socialist, it’s probably going to be lost on the American public. • source

Culture: “Canadian Bacon 2”: Michael Moore drops the documentaries?

  • I have been working on two screenplays over the last couple of years. One’s a comedy, one’s a mystery, and I really want to do this.
  • Michael Moore • Discussing his post-“Capitalism: A Love Story” plans recently. Does that sound like the kind of guy who will be directing documentaries for the rest of his life? We think not. (By the way, in case you’ve never seen it, we highly recommend his only fiction movie thus far, “Canadian Bacon.”) • source
