| Description | This nugget didn't make Friday's dead tree version of our story about Michael Moore, but he told us that his soon-to-be-released Capitalism: A Love Story may be his last political film. Really.
Indeed, at the end of the flick (which hits the Bay Area Oct. 2), Moore says he's tired of rabble-rousing and invited people to join him in a mass movement to substitute democracy for capitalism as the country's guiding force. Before we chatted Thursday in San Francisco, he was talking loudly on his Blackberry speakerphone with a progressive writer (whom he declined to identify, but think Barbara Ehrenreich-ish, who we also chatted with a while back). He praised Ms. Unknown, saying "I read everything you write. Frankly, it's great, because when I do, I feel like I'm not out here alone talking about these things."
He may mean it. This is the first time Mike has finished a project and doesn't have another project on the runway.
So what if folks don't get out of their movie theater chairs after they see Capitalism and take an active role in taking back their country from the fat cats?
"If I don't see some popular groundswell of support for these things I'm talking about, I'm not going to keep beating my head against the wall," Moore told the Chronicle.
"I have a romantic comedy to make," Moore told us. |
