Michael Moore is surely going to win over new converts with his sarcastically titled new documentary on the financial meltdown, “Capitalism: A Love Story.” The doc is still scheduled for a October 2 release via Overture and Paramount. We still think, “Bailout” was a better title. The Oct 2 date is the same as Scorsese’s “Shutter Island.” Somehow we can’t see it competing, but it’ll probably a limited release (though currently that’s not the case).
“It will be the perfect date movie,” Moore said in a press release. “It’s got it all — lust, passion, romance and 14,000 jobs being eliminated every day. It’s a forbidden love, one that dare not speak its name. Heck, let’s just say it: It’s capitalism.” Love Moore to death, but ugh, not feeling this angle at all. [Variety]
