Anyone heard of this movie? I saw a short article about it in the paper and did a search for it. It opened on the 16th, but I can't find any theaters within a 50 mile radius playing it :idea: It's a documentary from the guy who made "Supersize Me." It's about our over consumption and the buy! buy! buy! spend! spend! spend! mentality at Christmas. The guy travels to the Mall of America and Bentonville, AK among other places. I'd really like to see it, but I guess I'll have to wait for it to go to video. How come we can find Michael Moore's crap in every town, but not this? Maybe because if people started thinking about this idea our ustable retail based economy would collapse?
I just have to wonder if there's not some kind of back room reasoning why this movie is not available to the general public. Certainly no shopping mall theaters would want to play it. :idea:

Morgan Spurlock (sp?) Is a documentary genius. I loved the Supersize Me and the 30 days series he did. I haven't heard about What Would Jesus Buy. :idea:
If it's anything like his other works it should prove enlightening. Let me know if you find it and how ya liked it.

I agree, Spulock rocks! I have not heard about that film but I would love to see it.
I like the holidays as much as anyone but it has become a little over-the-top.

Me too.
FX Network had a couple of week ends where they did the 30 day's series back to back. I watched them again but didn't think about throwing a disk in the recorder ...
