I just saw "Capitalism: A Love Story"
Each one of Mike's films is more amazing than the last. The audience all laughed at the same points and clapped at the end!

I thought the most amazing (also saddest) part was finding out FDR had a "Second Bill of Rights" that never came to fruition.

Any ideas for Mike's next film?

With Jonathan Kozol -- what a movie that would be.

All the 'sponsors' get patches proportional to the contribution.

3. Well, if he does decide not to do any more films I hope he mentors other documentary film makers
and keeps up the Film Festival

4. The only down side to this movie
is that the people who really need to see it (I'm thinking of the teabaggers and anyone else who votes against their own interests) won't.

10. The "nay sayers" will say "no" to "capitalism. . .a love story!"
I'm afraid you're right! Even in my neighborhood, most people have made up their mind that they will not see Michael Moore's movies. . .any of his movies. . .because they are all bad!!!
How can they tell, without having seen any? That's the stupidity of it all. . .they don't. . .but they believe they do!

Well, it is their loss! Unfortunately, it is also our loss and our whole country's loss!
You know what they say: "You can bring a horse to water, but you can't make him drink!"

5. I am so envious...
the nearest showing is a two hour drive for me.

I will pre-order the DVD, though, to keep my Michael Moore library complete.:patriot:

13. It isn't showing around here either.
Maybe it will in a few weeks. If not, that's what DVD is for.

20. There's only ONE subject that MM should look at next
It's the widespread coopting of THE MEDIA in America by corporate and conservative interests.

It's astounding that what we talk about EVERYDAY here in DU is almost NEVER covered on TV stations or 90% of radio stations.

Hell, we here in Canada hear more about what happens in America than you do yourself.

There's no such thing as investigative journalism these days like Woodward and Bernstein did during Watergate. If Watergate had happened today, they would be pulled off of the story in a millisecond.

He should do the media next. Although I doubt he's be asked to appear on Wolf Blitzer's show again.
