Great movie-- to philosophical not to be here. Just saw an exerpt on Youtube-- just type the title in, and you'll see a hundred. Bring up a scene, say what is discusses (or post a link), and well, go from there. For me, it says exactly what I've been thinking and pondering for a long time.

The Existentialism and Alex Jones clips I TRULY identified with. I have been living and believing those two videos and concepts for years now, long since they were filmed.

Good to see someone else actually THINKING in this world.

But we are not special. I, you, the president, we are all just human...and quite replaceable.

Western society has it's head in the clouds thinking: "We are all special!!!"

What a farce.

Didn't float my boat, but I feel like I have to say something anyway.

The whole thing of "we are all slaves to the system and we have to wake up and blah blah blah," I grew out of that a long time ago. I think I was outside of that when I was still a freshman in college. Yes there is some real bullshit out there, and props to Rage Against the Machine for standing up to it, for example, but I honestly like our society for the most part, and I'm willing to subject myself to various injustices to get the things I want. It's either that or have us all living in the wild again, throwing rocks and howling at each other and eating bird eggs.

The existentialism one was cool though. It's along the lines I'm trying to gear myself toward these days.

The ants one I found annoying. She is so right, but I found myself wanting the guy to say, "Yeah, you're right and all but I'm in a hurry so call me an ant." Either that or ask for her number.

I admire the effort, and I'm sure it's a great idea and someone had to do it, but I heard it all a thousand times in college and now I just want to drive my car to the places I need to go, pay my bills, and get my credit rating up so I can be approved for a big loan someday.

Where are they passing out the antennae?
