After seeing Michael Moore's 'Capitalism' this morning, I was relieved that I wouldn't be seeing him walking around Toronto in a Borat-style butt-floss bikini. Right now he has taken it upon himself to try to educate us on the Fall of our Roman Empire (there is a hilarious bit in the film where he splices a 1950's Enclyclopedia Brittanica documentary about that time with modern news clips) as it relates to the current financial crisis. Ricky Gervais has a new film coming out soon, 'The Invention of Lying' with a great premise: What if people only spoke the truth? The biggest problem is that there can be no fictional tales in movies, so when screenwriter Gervais' character gets axed because nothing exciting happend in his era of the 13th Century, he finds himself broke and in need of a new reinvention. He comes up with the idea of lying. After wolfing down my dog, I caught Michael Douglas in 'A Solitary Man', then got a taste of my old high school days with 'Down for Life'. One chicken dog day.
