Maxed Out - Movie Review and Rant by Jeremy

Correction 5 minutes after posting: I noticed it's not the same guy that did "Super Size Me." His name was "Spurlock." This guy is "Scurlock." - This is an unscripted movie review by yours truly. :-)

pbbbbt, dude, you're a simple minded turd. you completely missed the point of the movie and the underlying, and blatant, problems with the "financial services" industry.

[Brockalock1]

Damn right...simple-minded enough to understand that it's as simple to avoid debt as it is to simply fall into the traps.

cant say im too surprised with your "eh,, whatever" approach to such a real, relevant and pervasive issue. what's the issue? dept collection, irresponsible spending habits? stupid ppl? sure, "whatever", why not right? well i suppose if someone considers the issue to be one or maybe even two dimensional (i.e. borrow $5, then pay $5 when due), then their interpretation will mirror that dimensionality. but hey, love that you keep an open mind, just dont let that pretty brain fall out :-)

[Brockalock1]

Amen, brother (sister?)! Open-minded, brainless, and debt-free! Hallelujah!

Jeremy, I wanted to tell you that I watched your review with some interest. I hope you decide not to become a debt collector. You might consider that what is portrayed in the movie Maxed Out is reality. I wish you the best. David Szwak, Attorney

PS - I hope you liked my clips in the movie and outtakes.

Dude its not that they can't afford it. Its the OVERWHELMING hidden fees that is NOT in the contract. Like if you are few days late they not only charged you a late fee but other fees. They can charged you $7000 for a $1000 tv or refrigerator.The movie is not about ppl complaining its about enlightening ppl about how credit companies used legalized scams to take advantage of ppl and making billions off of it

gaaeee2000. Sorry, but "sociopath" was not meant for you. I was talking about the mentality of leveling peoples lives for a profit. That in itself is a form of sociopathology.

[bandibreath]

Not at the expense of loosing my soul in the process. No amount of money or profit is worth exploiting peoples pain and agony. Anyone that thinks it's okay is a sociopath.

Continued..than I will get off my soap box. Ok. If you are so fired up about people borrowing money and having problems paying it back, than why is'nt someone calling up the White House to collect on the billions of dollars that this country has borrowed from foreign banks to finance the war? This country is in debt up to it's eyeballs. The most powerful nation on earth, is indebt to other nations. If that is'nt a sale out, I don't know what is. The US is being sold to the highest bidder.
