I'll consider watching it if you laughed (without irony that is) at some point.

I expect this film to be totally ripped apart in the near future.

I skimmed an on-line interview with Moore, and a question was asked (paraphrasing), "If Capitalism is so immoral, what would be a better alternative?"

Naturally, Moore didn't have an answer, and actually came off as a huge coward by the stuttering reply offered.

So far I've mostly managed to avoid engaging anyone on this stupid movie, for the most part. Some guy did post a quote on facebook where said capitalism never did anything for him. I asked what the poster thought the "" of or China would agree and then politely pointed out that they don't have an equivalent because they get shot in the face before anyone has heard of them. I wonder what he called the money he had to raise to make this movie. Trolling around asking for capital to fund your movie knocking capitalism seems kind of awkward.

If experience is any guide, this could be good news. Moore made a gun-prohibitionist movie just as the prohibitionists packed up and went home after years of trying to make an intellectually respectable case. He made an anti-Bush movie just in time for the 2004 election, which Bush won handily. He came out for socialized medicine as it headed into a historic defeat. He new movie comes along just as capitalism is enjoying its greatest pop-cultural upsurge in the US since the early 19th century. I hope he continues his streak.

I plan on seeing the film, but I will gain admittance into the theater by paying for a GOOD movie that I WANT to watch, then switching theaters after it's over. I'm sure Mr. Moore wouldn't mind sacrificing some profit on my behalf. In fact, he should be happy. It won't be theft of services. It would be saving him from the corrupting influences of capitalism.

That's a noble sacrifice on your part, George.
