Here is a recent article on Michael Moore from Entertainment Weekly:

"It's a crime story," Michael Moore says of his latest documentary. "But it's also a war story about class warfare. And a vampire movie, with the upper 1% feeding off the rest of us. And, of course, it's also a love story. Only it's about an abusive relationship." Yes, that's right, the lightning-rod filmmaker whose previous films have confronted such hot-button issues as gun control (Bowling for Columbine), terrorism (Fahrenheit 9/11), and the healthcare crisis (Sicko) will be taking on the entire free-market economy in his archly titled new movie, Capitalism: A Love Story. Moore began filming approximately six months prior to the economy ultimately melting down last fall — talk about a lucky break! — but views the movie as a culmination of his life's work. "It's not about an individual, like [former GM CEO] Roger Smith, or a corporation, or even an issue, like healthcare," he says. "This is the big enchilada. This is about the thing that dominates all our lives — the economy. I made this movie as if it was going to be the last movie I was allowed to make." Oh, and by the way, Moore adds, "it's a comedy."

    I love his films: even if I don't agree with everything he says. Thanks for the update.

    One more thing about Moore sticking it to the man. I may not always agree with him, but he has a definite point when he makes his films. This should be an an interesting watch. I would like to see what his take is, and how it is received by the public and also what sort of footage he has.
