Comments on: Venice Buzz: Michael Moore’s ‘Capitalism’ Strikes It Modestly Rich… Mostly https://staging2.theplaylist.net/venice-buzz-michael-moores-capitalis-20090906/ Tue, 10 Nov 2020 10:00:25 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 By: SK https://staging2.theplaylist.net/venice-buzz-michael-moores-capitalis-20090906/#comment-10602 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 04:35:39 +0000 http://theplaylist.wpengine.com/?p=6311#comment-10602 "We just wish for once, someone would tell us what they thought instead of wondering how everyone else will feel."

I think this is one of the main causes of the so-called twitter/facebook effect. The film news magazine probably lets their users post opinions and they gear their articles to that. It's almost like taking in regurgitation, kind of disappointing and repetitive.

Also, it's disappointing that media-outlets will probably begin their discussions of Moore's doc by stating "right-wing capitalism-loving Americans turn away".

From what I hear it is just like MM's new flick which just premiered at the Venice Film Fest, but "Stock Shock" is shipping now.

The movie follows several Sirius XM investors through their experience of watching their stock go from almost ten dollars a share—down to 5 cents/share. The movie suggests this might be due to "naked short selling" and other stock market manipulation by high rollers on Wall Street. I don't know if I'm a believer, but at least it gives a good review of how our stock markets are engineered.
