Just caught this one, another fine documentary in my opinion...

Thanks Bobby.  Very cool.
more than any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads. one path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. the other, to total extinction. let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly.

It is very cool, if quite unfocused and a bit too long. I personally didn't mind the length too much, but the film goes far past the realm of making and proving a point and starts to just provide more, more and more information. All of which I found interesting and pertinent and fueled my own strong anti-corporate sentiment, but which may wear down people who aren't already aware of the evils of corporations who need to be won over. Still, very much worth seeing.

I got the book (and again a t-shirt) from work, the book too, rambles on.

I finally saw it last night, the film was actually way more focused than the book, but there were still quite a few scenes that I didn't think that many people cared about, for example, when the corporations wanted to take over the white house with general butler as their leader--I don't think anyone in the theater gave a shit, I remember reading that story in the book and not caring, and when it came on screen I was like "oh no."  oh well, still a very good, very inspiring movie I guess.
I did fall asleep for a few minutes though.
