Didn't he also eat like 6000 calories worth of McDonalds a day? No poo poo you got fat, Sprulock

Before it he was a vegetarian too iirc so like idk even at the time before it came out what a garbage person he was I was like "uhh this is not at all interesting or revelatory why is everyone talking about this movie"

We had a very hippie teacher who made us watch it and the DVD extra where he puts a burger and fries in a jar and it DOESN'T GET MOLDY AFTER A MONTH!!! and that one in particular always stuck with me cuz it's such a weird misunderstanding of how food works. You kept deep fried poo poo in a cool dry place for a month and instead of rotting it just dried out, obviously this is due to the CHEMICALS they put in it or something!

from the wiki of the film:

quote:

After eating exclusively at McDonald's for one month, Soso Whaley said, "The first time I did the diet in April 2004, I lost 10 pounds (going from 175 to 165) and lowered my cholesterol from 237 to 197, a drop of 40 points." Of particular note was that she exercised regularly and did not insist on consuming more food than she otherwise would. Despite eating at only McDonald's every day, she maintained her caloric intake at around 2,000 per day.[26]

a number of people replicated the experiment without the insane parameters set up by an alcoholic with good results. spurlock's entire argument hinges on an exaggerated version of an american who he blames quite exclusively for the fact that they can't access good food a lot of the time but also somehow blames this on mcdonald's. i would probably argue that mcdonald's ended up filling a nutritional vacuum rather than intentionally displacing an existing one but what do i know.

i don't think super size me is a particularly smart film or even making a good point, but what is critically being left out here is that mcdonalds had PR departments working overtime in response to those obesity lawsuits saying "actually there's no way to prove conclusively that eating nothing but mcdonalds super size meals is bad for you" even, iirc, responding to their own foreign advertising departments that were saying the opposite.

like really the biggest sin of that movie is accepting the fast food PR department's argument in good faith lol

Vicente is one of the main ex-NXIVM people featured in The Vow. He and Raniere basically pulled a Nixon Tapes by filming everything that went on in the cult and recording all of their phone calls. Really dumb guy.

that’s incorrect.

but it’s better than that. they think and probably truly do believe deep down that they will live forever. but one day they’ll find out they’ve been wrong about everything and then deep down, they will know they will die no matter what and they spent the only life they have being monstrous.

I punch out from a 12'er at the Amazon Corpoplex. I met my productivity quota by wearing an adult diaper and refusing to stop to void my bladder. This deserves celebration, so I head to the cineplex. Am I in the mood to see Product Movie or Superhero movie? A movie about something called Hellcow is playing opposite of a Mark Whalburg led film about the invention of the McGriddle.
