Capitalism: A Love Story.
He was on Leno last night while I was channel surfing, and he was plugging his newest film. He claims to criticize Dems and Repubs equally this time, and did spend a moment criticizing Chris Dodd for some no cost loans he took, but I doubt it's non partisan.
Apparently there are several interviews in the movie with our lawmakers in DC, which piques my interest, although I have never watched 1 minute of 1 of his films.
The 2 things that get me about what he said last night are he claims not to ambush people in this movie like he has in the past, then in the clip from the movie he shows up at AIG in a Brinks truck to try and talk to the CEO and make a citizens arrest. How is that not an ambush? This idiot shows up at your office with a film crew, and I guarantee he didn't call ahead, and says it's not an ambush?
And he of course complains about the rich, how the top 1% contol 95% of the wealth, how it's not fair to the citizens of the nation to not have a say in how the money of the country is handled and how policies are set.
This from a guy who makes Hollywood films, being interviewed by a guy with a museum full of cars that probably makes 15 million a year.
And people buy into this stuff.
Sorry, kinda long winded, but someone mentioned Leno in another thread and it got me to thinking.
Edit:
Can someone correct the spelling in the thread title. Fuck.
