Capitalism Attacked In New Movie By A Fat Bastard (Michael Moore) Capitalist Pig

Michael Moore is back in the local theatre with his latest film in the genre known as the "crockumentary."

Captialism, A Love Story hit the theatres this weekend, and I'm sure liberals and Democrats have gone to the movie in droves, with an excitement that would make movie houses looked like they were packed full of Pee Wee Hermans in a peep show.

Michael Moore

From a piece I read in the Weekend section of the Washington ComPost, this is the theory of the film. The blame for everything we're experiencing now is to be laid at the foot of one of our greatest Presidents (if not the greatest of the 20th Century) Ronald Reagan. I guess "Lard Ass" Moore loved the days of Jimmy Carter, you know the gas lines, odd & even days, the misery index, double digit interest rates.

As with most liberals, who deal in hypocrisy, Moore's talk doesn't match up with his lifestyle. MooreWatch linked to an article writing how Moore held the premiere for his capitalism-bashing movie.

The event, hosted by Esquire, doubled as the launch of the magazine’s “Ultimate Bachelor Pad,” a fully tricked-out, 11-room, nine-bathroom, 9,200-square-foot signature penthouse in SoHo, filled with flatscreens, sleek, modern furniture and luxury brands—each room meticulously designed around an advertisers’ theme. (The Hugo Boss bedroom! The Heineken lounge! The Lufthansa kitchen!)

As Esquire publisher Kevin O’Malley explains in the Esquire SoHo brochure, part of the reason that the magazine does this every year—alternating between New York and L.A.—is to meet its “advertisers’ growing need to create relevant and innovative new consumer touchpoints for their brands. Our affluent readers share a range of passions: a real desire for the best-of-class products and services that our advertisers represent.”

In other words, the pinnacle of capitalism. A fantasy in capital excess. A byproduct of the corporate greed Moore rails against in the film.

By the time Moore arrived, the party was in full swing, with revelers enjoying the 360-degree views of Lower Manhattan on the 3,000-square-foot terrace, top-shelf themed bars, sipping signature cocktails (there was a guy hired to blow dry ice on one pomegranate-and-melon-martini thing) and devouring skewers of filet mignon.

Esquire even hired models to strip down and slip into the obligatory hot tub.

I have a flyer on my computer released by Moorewatch during the run of his blood money fairy tale Fahrenheit 9/11, which tells how Moore is an opportunist who tries to make money off his victims.

Moore held a screening of Bowling for Columbine in Littleton (Colorado) and charged admission the families of the victims.

Columbine victim mother Anne Hechter: "It's laughable that Moore attempts to portray himself as an anti-establishment liberal who is the voice of the common folk, when in fact he is no better than the greedy capitalists he shuns.

Moore once said about small businessmen:

F___ all these small businesses - f___ 'em all! Bring in the chains! The small businesspeople are the rednecks that run the town and suppress the people. F___ 'em all. That's how I feel."

At the beginning of 2003 it was reported that Moore, when he wasn't complaining about the $750 a night he was making during an appearance in London, said this about the passengers murdered on the four airplanes used as kamikazes on 9/11.

"(T)he passengers were scaredy-cats because they were mostly white. If the passengers had included black men those killers, with their puny bodies and unimpressive small knives, would have been crushed by the dudes."

Far from hating capitalism, Michael Moore loves it, but just won't admit it.

My questions for Tubby, though:

• If capitalism sucks so much, why don't you just let people in to view your movie for free?
• If you hate greed and wealth so much, why don't you redistribute your own money?

"The worst thing in the world is a capitalist hippie," a friend in the Bay Area once told me. While not necessarily a hippie, Michael Moore fits that description.

UPDATE: Can you say, "Bomb!?!?" Gateway Pundit links to this from Andrew Brietbart's Big Hollywood.

After a $57K per theatre average on 4 screens last weekend, the picture broke to a wider 962 locations with terrible results. The “documentary” only sold an estimated $1.3M in tickets to start the weekend, and it will finish at about $3.9M for a PTA of less than $4,000. That soft opening will almost certainly make Capitalism Moore’s weakest-grossing movie since 2002’s Bowling for Columbine ($21.5M domestic gross).

Ha! Ha!
