Michale Moore runs surprise trailer for unnamed movie

Michael Moore surprised audiences in New York, Chicago and LA with the release of a special trailer for his fall release of an unnamed movie that pleads for help. But instead of saving the children, Moore wants people to save our CEOs.

Ushers entered the theaters with collection jars to give more post-bailout money to big banks. The upcoming movie is still untitled, but Moore has been with cameras in DC and Wall Street during the past year.

Michael Moore is back with a new movie on the US The Economy! In a just-released (see the YouTube hyperlink) teaser clip for the untitled film, Moore pokes fun at the big bad blue chip firms that helped get us into the recession.

Moore wants to stick it to the people who took Americas wealth. The film, which opens Oct. 2, will zero in on the corporations and politicians that caused the global financial crash.

Rightardia would expect former Texas Senator Phil Gram to mentioned in the film because he was the politician who got the Glass-Steagal Act (1933) repealed which had created barriers between the commercial banks and investment banks.

You should also hear about some SEC rules changes in 2004. A former SEC official, Lee Pickard, says a rule change in 2004 led to the failure of Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, and Merrill Lynch.

The SEC allowed five firms — the three that have collapsed plus Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley-- to more than double the leverage they were allowed to keep on their balance sheets. The companies were also allowed to remove discounts that had been applied to the assets they had been required to keep to protect them from defaults.

Wall Street robber barons are Moore's latest target

"The movie is not going to be an economics lesson; it's going to be more like a vampire movie," said Moore. "Instead of the main characters feasting on the blood of their victims, they feast on the money. And they never seem to get enough of it."

"If you go to see my movies, even if you don't agree with everything in the movies, you're going to have a good laugh," Moore says. "I want them to walk out at the end saying 'Wow, that was something!' And in this case, maybe they also walk out asking the ushers, 'Um, excuse me. Where are the pitchforks and torches?' "
