...why am i doing this???...

So I went to the Beer-Serving Movie Theatre last night (though I did not partake of spirits because I was suffering from having really gross chinese food for dinner), and I saw Supersize Me, and I have enumerated below some complaints.

1-The fallacy in the argument of the moronski who said that he thought fat people should be harrassed about their eating the way that smokers are currently harrassed about their smoking was not pointed out. HELLO, last I checked I couldn't get YOU fat by eating NEAR YOU, D-BAG. That would be the point of the hectoring of smokers (not that I ever hector smokers, anyway), the fact that they exhale toxic crap all over otherwise healthy people. Just making sure everyone understands that if they start thinking it's o.k. to make fun of fat people, fat people are completely within rights as fat people to punch them in the face with their big fat hands.

2-There was a lot of photography depicting fat people as gross-lookingly as they possibly could be. There was a lot of derisive laughter and groaning coming from people in the audience in reaction to this depiction. I had to hit a lot of people, my big fat fists are tired. Get it straight, please, you're trying to victimize a corporate whore not fat people. Cheap shots blur your message.

3-If your'e going to talk about how people are fatter now than ever before and ignore the fact that people are leading more sedentary lifestyles than ever before, particularly children, who are McDonald's biggest market, well, then I don't know what's wrong with you. You must be dumb.

I don't mean to say that this wasn't a really good, really important documentary because it is. I really liked what the guy had to say for the most part, there were just some snotty things and one glaring oversight that I felt obligated to point out on my blog (which no one reads so it's fine, really). But you know, it's off my chest, so that's a good thing, right?

I also saw Home Movie, which is from the guy who made American Movie, and it's so cool! It started out as some television commercials and ended up being a really interesting documentary about five particularly eccentric families' attachment to their homesteads. AND, in the special features, there is an entire section devoted to weird pictures of cats. You just have to see it to believe it. It's beautiful.
