Michael Moore's latest movie "Capitalism, a Love Affair" bombed at the box
office. Life time gross revenue was only $14M which is amazing given all
the hype the movie received from he lunatic liberal left. However,
Moore's spokesperson said that Moore was thrilled with the result because
he estimated it would keep him in Hostess Twinkies and Ho Hos for the rest
of the year.

It's the 8th highest grossing documentary of all-time. And the "life
time" of a movie probably includes DVD.

You have a twisted sense of logic, don't you? This is perhaps my favorite
quote of yours from August of this year, justifying why Bush was good for
the economy:

"So from it's high point of 14,000+ under President Bush the Dow is now at
to 9,200 under President Obama."

The sad thing is that you probably don't even understand how stupid of a
statement that is.

Once Obama was perceived as our next president the market crashed. What do

Hmmm...Box Office Mojo has it down as the 8th biggest grossing
documentary of all time, ahead of Religulous, Super Size Me, Hoop
Dreams, and Roger and Me (about double the revenue of R&M).
Interestingly, Moore has 4 of the top 8 all-time grossing
documentaries, and 5 of the top 7 political documentaries. Don't worry
about Moore, Mike. It looks like he's going to be just fine.

While Moore's criticism of capitalism netted $14 million in US
theaters, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen raked in $402 million. I
think that tells you more about the American movie going public than
the movies themselves.

maybe a movie that says what it is and delivers is preferable to one that
condescendingly copulates in it's own hypocrisy? transformers was the
better movie, by miles.

That is a statement of fact. Just like "Under Obama we now have 10.2%
unemployment, the highest in 26 years". Or, "Under Obama we now have the
biggest deficits in America's history". Or, "Obama and the Democrats
jammed through the biggest pork barrel spending bill in American history
and not one Democrat read it through before they voted to pass it."

The truth is a bitch ain't it.

Irish Mike

Obama has decided to send 40,000 additional troops to fight in the war
against Fox News.

No, I am not ashamed to admit I never have and never will see
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. I am, however, familiar with the
genre. It has never appealed to me, but it did to some of my
friends...when I was 12.

I have seen some reviews:

"Transformers 2 has a shot at the title Worst Movie of the Decade."
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

"An impossibly, incomprehensibly overlong and cacophonous bore." Peter
Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

"A horrible experience of unbearable length, briefly punctuated by
some amusing moments." Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

"This Transformers is a pile of glittering junk." Joe Morgenstern,
Wall Street Journal

"Much of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is simply despicable."
John Anderson, Washington Post

"Dazzles the eye, numbs the mind and may cause deafness in some cases.
Did I mention to bring along some Excedrin?" Lou Lumenick, New York
Post

and the one that made me think of you,

"The storyline is so infantile that it will appeal to young kids."
James Berardinelli, ReelViews

Rumor has it that Michael Moore is about to direct and star in a
documentary/romantic comedy based on the mating habits of the African
Hippo. The title is "Beaforoni and Me".

Yeah that when the American people go to the movies they go to be

I heard the same rumor, too. I also heard there was to be a double

Yep, the economy sunk anticipating the Obama presidency. Also, Bush
had the economy go south because Clinton left the economy in ruins.
The 9/11 attack was a result of Clinton staff removing all the Ws from
the White House.

Idiot Mike said it bombed because he read it at the right wing sight he Cut's
& Pastes & Runs from. That's why he'd dodging the fact it's 8th highest
grossing documentary of all time.

So Irish Mike Cuts & Pastes & Runs from:

But you dodge the fact it dropped under Bush.

Because of the crash under Bush.

The biggest part from the Bush administration's debt.

And it's direct lie.

We have multi trillion dollar deficits, a true unemployment rate of around
17% and that doesn't include the trillions more Obama's health care bill
with add to the deficits. Consumer confidence is low, businesses aren't
hiring and the housing market is still on the rocks. You might want to
check the P/E ratios before you invest your house trailer.

Right, it had nothing to do with the fact that the financial system
was melting down before our very eyes. Are you wingnuts really that

If you talk to someone who understands trading fibbonacci surmised that
most movements in one direction then meet a movement of 1/2 as much in
retracement


zero went to 14 then down to 7.

If fibbonacci's theory applies to the present scenerio 1/2 of the losses
incurred will retrace back to 10,500. At that point we should drop to 9k
or so then back to 10.

Anything above or below 10k is the direct result of Obama.

Do you think the investors of this world are pro obama ?

I realize you like to grasp at any good news and say yay for Obama.

The guy is good for our table image as a non aggressive guy.

The fact is, handing out money to black people who have been slieghted is
not good for short term business.

I like the guy and I think the longterm affects of a black guy being
president are positive.

Please stop appearing ignorant by stating that the economy is in good
shape now because he is in office.

The economy has improved because he isnt as horrible for the economy as
many feared.

Please stop crediting the good that happens in spite of him as his doing.

He is a nice guy that brings balance to the world. That's all. That in
itself is a good thing and worth this mess. As far as the markets go, its
all in spite of you and yours.

It seems to be a full time job bitch-slapping Mike with facts. I could show
him that the housing market is improving (like Obama said it would);
especially here in Vegas where it was the worst. But as usually; Mike will
ignore facts and continue to Cut & Paste & Run from these facts. It's why he's
unable to respond. He runs and runs and runs..

Aren't you even embarrassed, Mike?
