    Super Size Me

    If they could have condensed the movie just a little it would have captured my intrest a bit more.

    The main character not only changed the type of food he ate but also the quantity which made a huge difference, I'm sure.

    What has happened to good old fashioned will power?

    I thought this was quite entertaining, and picked it up awhile back.

    An excellent production of an opinion regarding a serious issue in todays society.

    I don't have cable, but I hear this guy has a TV show where he and a few people try to live on minimum wage or something. Sounds interesting given my enjoyment with Super Size Me.

    Loved the soundtrack! :T :rofl:

      Now that you mention it the soundtrack was pretty good.

      The living on minimum wage thing sounds mighty interesting too.

        I've heard good things about 30 days...Morgan Spurlock is a creative guy. Still haven't seen Super Size Me but it's on my list. I also can't bring myself to read Fast Food Nation because I don't want to feel bad about the Whopper I like to eat every 2 years or so....

          30 Days is an intriguing show. It puts people out of their comfort zone for instance last week they asked a devout christian to live with a Muslim family. Next week they are asking a Bible Thumping dude to go live with a gay guy in SF.

          It's very slanted politically but it's interesting from a human perspective.

          It comes on 10pm ET and PT on FX.

            Hey, I'll have to check out 30 days.

            Not only did I love Supersize Me, but the message is extremely important.

            If anyone watched the extras, gotta make you wonder what additives they put on the fries to virtually mummify them.
