"Money Monster"

OK, we haven't had a liberal political movie to flail on for a while, so it looks like this one is coming along just is time. Of course global warming, sorry, CLIMATE CHANGE, is still sliding out the back door, so we return to the ever present bugaboo, capitalism, for liberals to vent their venom on. Never mind the irony of the stars and the industry that owe all they have to it, biting the hand that feeds it; like with Clooney, wearing a bomb vest at gunpoint, saying, "You came here for answers, you deserve answers."

Absolutely typical. Yes there are corrupt capitalist/bankers/brokers, but as the sub-prime mortgage crisis showed, they have to be pushed into it by government--sucking up the ill-gotten profits from it yes, but only because the government was forcing them to make idiotic loans and not enforcing the regulations against it....oh, and using our taxes to buy up the bad loans and then to bail out the banks, and then print money to pump into the stock market. Gaaaah!

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say they're not going to even try to be even-handed as Hollywood has been tending to do for a while (throwing an occasional bone to the political right to make themselves appear to be "fair", at least in their own eyes), and be as nauseatingly, piss-drinkingly, moronically wrong as possible. And they're throwing in anorexic lips Julia Roberts just to make us think that nausea is a good thing.

But now my integrity requires that I have to watch it and report on it honestly, putting me at risk of drinking my own piss (metaphorically speaking) if I'm wrong. But if I am, and this is an anti-socialist, ambush hit piece (bwahahahahah!), I'll do it gladly, again, metaphorically speaking of course. No Danger.
