[quote name="Creexuls, a monster >:3"](4:40:11 PM) <font color="orange"><b>Kobuh</b></font>: CNSNews.com then asked Moore: “Critics would say he’s [Moore] been very successful under a capitalist system. How would you justify making a movie where you paint capitalism as evil?” Moore said: “Well, capitalism did nothing for me, starting with my first film.” (4:40:27 PM) <font color="orange"><b>Kobuh</b></font>: According to Fortune Magazine, Moore’s films have grossed over $300 million worldwide. His highest grossing film was “Fahrenheit 9/11,” which critiques the Bush administration’s handling of the war in Iraq and earned over $200 million worldwide. Moore reportedly was paid $21 million by Disney for producing, directing and creating the film. Moore also earned 50 percent of the profits of his 2007 film “Sicko,” totaling $25 million plus DVD sales, according to Vanity Fair. The Los Angeles Times reported that Moore would receive all of the profits made from DVD sales of “Sicko,” sales of which have been estimated at over $17 million.

(4:46:23 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: So I think I'm going to not see his new movie. (4:46:33 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: On the upside though Ebert did a massive blowjob puff piece interview with him. (4:47:16 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: <a href="http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090930/REVIEWS/909309994">http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090930/REVIEWS/909309994</a> <a href="http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090927/PEOPLE/909279997">Here is the actual blowjob puff piece.</a> (5:00:21 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090927/PEOPLE/909279997 (5:02:00 PM) <font color="orange"><b>Kobuh</b></font>: a movie so nice he reviewed it twice? (5:02:23 PM) <font color="orange"><b>Kobuh</b></font>: In the film, Moore asks three "experts" to explain a derivative to him. They can't. (5:03:48 PM) <font color="orange"><b>Kobuh</b></font>: hahaha, this is terrible (5:04:52 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: No the second one is an interview. (5:05:00 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: I know it is like the dumbest thing ever. (5:05:04 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: But it gets better. (5:05:15 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: Moore can't have experts explain what a derivative is, AND THESE GUYS ARE TRAINED EXPERTS. (5:05:39 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: But Michael Moore himself with his simple homespun wisdom is able to sum it up in two paragraphs apparently. (5:06:22 PM) <font color="orange"><b>Kobuh</b></font>: except his explanation is absolute NONSENSE (suprise) (5:07:54 PM) <font color="orange"><b>Kobuh</b></font>: so at the end of the movie Moore starts handing out his millions of dollars to the people that lost their homes, right? (5:08:00 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: No. (5:08:15 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: He keeps his money (it's like an M. Night Shamalan twist ending). (5:08:21 PM) <font color="orange"><b>Kobuh</b></font>: O_______O (5:08:28 PM) <font color="orange"><b>Kobuh</b></font>: SPOILERS (5:09:35 PM) <font color="orange"><b>Kobuh</b></font>: also, he actually takes MORE money from all the poor people who go to see his movie (5:09:47 PM) <font color="orange"><b>Kobuh</b></font>: and adds it to the pile (5:09:49 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: "Elizabeth Warren, the law professor from Harvard, she has taken those like refinancing contracts into her law class, and she hands them out she says, Okay, tell me what the interest rate is. You read the 50 pages, you can't figure it out. (5:10:05 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: Shouldn't Ebert be saying "that's bullshit" here? (5:10:16 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: Like, for the 5th time in this interview? (5:10:39 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE INTEREST RATE IS? (5:10:54 PM) <font color="orange"><b>Kobuh</b></font>: every month you just pay whatever you feel like (5:11:00 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: But instead of being like "wait something stinks about what you're saying," eeburrt says this: (5:11:02 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: Moore is rolling now. It's an inspiration to see him under a head of steam, his red baseball cap bobbing and his hands waving. (5:11:05 PM) <font color="orange"><b>Kobuh</b></font>: since not even the bank can figure out their wack contracts! (5:11:09 PM) <font color="orange"><b>Kobuh</b></font>: wacky (5:11:25 PM) <font color="#aeb5ff"><b>Juh-howh Cable</b></font>: MOST BANKERS DO NOT KNOW WHAT INTEREST RATES ARE DID YOU KNOW THAT? (5:11:56 PM) <font color="orange"><b>Kobuh</b></font>: "later he interviews a president of major bank that can't even add 2 + 3" Also from ebert's blog, he is very concerned about <a href="http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/2009/10/the_anger_of_the_festering_fri.html">crazy people who hate the president and may want to kill him.</a> Not buhs though but Obama, apparently there was a huge difference between the political parties.
