Contest: Win $500!

By: Stacie Hougland on September 17, 2009 at 4:02PM Comments (18)

***Update: This blog contest has now ended. Thanks to everyone who entered! We will be randomly selecting and notifying the winner very soon! Remember to check back often to our Freshly Popped Movie blog for more contests and sweeps upcoming.***

-------

It's capitalism at its finest! Michael Moore and our pals at Overture Films are giving away $500 to one lucky winner, in honor of Moore's new film Capitalism: A Love Story. And who couldn't use five bennies, in a time of mortgage meltdowns, skyrocketing unemployment and faltering 401ks?

Enough reminding me, you say. How do I win?

It's easy-breezy. Just answer the three questions below about the movie that are answered in the movie's trailer. Email your answers to editorial@fandango.com and voila, you're entered (for those who previously entered by adding a blog post comment, no worries, we have your entries; anyone entering now, email your answers to editorial@fandango.com ... thanks!) The winner will be chosen at random and the contest ends at 6 p.m. Oct. 2, 2009. One entry per person (and yes, we do know who you are!). Open to U.S. residents only. The lucky winner will receive a $500 Visa gift card for use on anything you like: a new dishwasher, clothes for the kids, Fandango movie tickets, maybe a sweater for the mother-in-law? (Nah.) Good luck!

1. In the trailer, who does Michael Moore want to arrest?
a. Bernie Madoff
b. George W Bush
c. The board of Directors of AIG
 
2. Who answers Michael Moore’s question “Where is our money?” with “I don’t know.”?
a. Elizabeth Warren, Congressional Oversight Officer
b. Ben Bernanke, Federal Reserve Chairman
c. Charlton Heston
 
3. At the end of the trailer, Michael Moore goes to get the “money back for the American people.” How much does he estimate “won’t fit in here”?
a. 10 billion dollars
b. 500 million dollars
c. 500 dollars

    Michael Moore Or Less is a *******! He has NEVER, EVER told the truth in any of his so-called documentaries! The way he treated Charlton Heston for "Bowling For Columbine" was completely despicable. He claimed that he didn't edit that so-called interview at all; yet, there is a clock behind his gigantic head with an 18 minute gap. This ******* should return his most undeserved oscar because a documentary is supposed to be truthful. He couldn't tell the truth if his life depended on it.

    I'm glad the masses are getting a clue, regardless of who or how the information comes along. Corporate accountability is what it boils down to, and not buying what they are selling (or how they got the raw materials to make it!).

    Moore is a hero who speaks up for the truth brilliantly. I'm not against making lot's of money but I am against gluttony. What's happened to everyone in this country? It's crazy. I love Obama. I want Health care. I want options in my lfe. I want a Public Option. And who wouldn't? Who doesn't want to have a choice? I just don't get all the hateful screaming except that maybe most people who run insurance companies are on the conservative right? Could they be whispering little lies into the less informed people's heads cause they're afraid of losing their jobs and ALL that BIG money and CONTROL? America needs to reshuffle it's deck. Still, I'm proud to be an American! God bless the poor.

    Hey. Thanks for saying so. I'm a liberal and looking forward to it also. Mostly though, because it sounds as if it's not a political party bashing movie. (I hope) I'm tired of the fighting amongst ourselves. Ever wish we had a third party that we could all meld into?

    I stand with and beside Micheal Moore and will defend him to the hilt. Wake up America, you have been taken,yes brain washed by Corporate America. How Long ????????????? since Ronald Reagan took office. How do I know, because I worked for one of the biggest and there " GREED " drove them to the heavens. Yes Micheal moore has it right on, Money,money, when is enough. With Capitalism as there motor, never enough. Pure Capitalism has had its day. If we have 40 more years of it, The Answer : America the beautiful, the world leader will be no more. Wait till next year and see how deep in the hell hole of the earth . How sad. Live on Micheal Moore and keep telling it like it is, the truth be none.
