I'm waiting for a guy to make a movie where he has nothing but a pint of hard liquor in place of each meal for a whole month. Now that would be entertaining to watch.

There was an episode of this where a stay at home mom married to a rich lawyer (go figure?) tries to convince her daughter (who's the epitome of stupid spoiled sororiety whore) that binge drinking can really effect your life. So the mother decides to get shitty hammered drunk every day for a month. In the end her daughter didn't learn the lesson and the mother turned into a lush. Great television!

if you want a decent anti mcdonalds documentary , watch McLibel directed by some person and ken loach. it follows the mclibel guys from almost the begging till the day they won at  europarliament. it's not mindblowing but it's interesting in the same way 'the smartest guys in the room' is.
