For some reason they redid Fame, that gritty 1980 musical about students trying to make it at the competitive NYC High School Of Performing Arts. Surprisingly, Tasha Robinson at The Onion says, "The big surprise is how much the remake respects the original... The creators’ instincts only fail when they push too far in the direction of High School Musical, with one too many pretty Zac Efron types, and too much radio polish: When singer Asher Book, mic-and-music-free for his audition, opens his mouth and produces a processed-to-the-max, radio-ready ballad, the moment is disingenuous, artificial, and cloying. But there are few such wrong moves in a film that’s largely a raw, uplifting love letter to creativity in every possible form."

The free market will ensure that Moore stays wealthy and well-fed.
It's sad when crazy communists, lunatic libertarians, and rich republicans all agree that the bailouts were criminal... and our politicians ( Obama endorsed who for a second term? ) do nothing whatsoever about it.
I mean public opinion was MASSIVELY opposed to the bail out and still is... yet it went through? I mean... how the hell is no one in prison?
why doesn't moore offer the movie for free? oh that's right.... gots ta makez teh profitzzz!
