QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 7, 2009 -> 09:30 PM) I didn't say it before, but that is a terrible example. A reporter who reports fraud, probably shouldn't break laws. That would be more apt. Thank you, those examples make a lot more sense. I believe we can bet there are many reporters trying to expose the hypocrisies in the film.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 7, 2009 -> 09:51 PM) If he is going to slam his society, he probably shouldn't get rich doing the very thing he is saying is so wrong. Why is that so complex? We ask that of people all of the time. People who hold up their high moral standards and family, probably shouldn't be having affairs. People who fight for the environment most likely shouldn't be the biggest user of electricity in their state. People who preach on the ills of drug usage, most likely shouldn't have a meth lab at their house. Of course you are correct phrased that way. But I have not read or heard where he says getting rich is bad. From what I read the movie is not that it is bad getting rich, but there are some things in the pursuit for riches that are wrong and should be examined. So unless he is doing something specific that he rails against in the film, it seems to me he is on firm footing.

birthday greetings, belated of course

So if he keeps some of his profit in a socially responsible sort of way, does that make it ok? Would any of his detractors really suddenly accept his film if he donated 110% of his profits? Any business reporter who reports corporate fraud could only work as a volunteer.

y do I have to be late, even at 9:07 PM

Damn, I actually liked the interview. You're killing me Balta. Now I may have to go see the movie. Hannity liking even part of it, that changes my view.

Plenty of song lyrics in this thread

I've never watched one of his films and probably will not start now. My opinion would not change even if he donated a s*** load of money
