Super Size Me

I finally got to see this anti-Mc Donald documentary. I'm somewhat disappointed that it didn't live to my expectations. No humor (if there was it sucked) or satire directed at the food industry. The cartoons look like it was made by some 5 year old in kindergarden. And Spurlock was too Michael Moorish in this film (as in Main star). Even worse Jarrod from Subway appears in this documentary. Not funny! Not provocative! Not interesting! And the message is the same....don't eat Fast food. Give me a break!

Supersize is nothing but Vegan propaganda targeting the Fast Food restaurants. This documentary was waaaaay to bias towards vegetarians. 👇

[edit note] Even the song was lame and stupid: Supersize, Supersize, Supersize is the American way 🙄

I saw this film today and really liked it. It was really amusing and interesting. Learned quite a bit from the film lol. Lot of interesting facts.

after reading Fast Food Nation, I got a much better image of the fast food world, but this film has much less well-concealed manipulation than, say, bowling for columbine, and I really disagreed with a lot of it, even though some of the food the kids were eating in teh "healthy caff" looked awesome.

MY bro and his friends went to the movie in their Mcdonalds uniiforms

Amen, WindDancer.

I dunno, I just don't see what the big deal is. I kind of think this whole thing is stupid, I mean there were funny parts but I definitely didn't learn anything.

I'm eating McDonald's as I'm typing this. 2 McChicken's, 1 Double Cheeseburger, and 1 SUPER-SIZED (large now) fries.

Mc Donalds food is fine. Too much will get ya sick. Maybe once or twice every couple months sounds okay.

btw-botankus I could go for some Mc Donalds right about now. 😉

I agree, WindDancer. Isn't moderation the key to most things in life? I didn't think this film was that great. Of course you're going to gain weight and have a decline in health if you eat fast food three times a
day, every day. NO KIDDING! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. =) Super Size Me is mediocre entertainment, in my opinion.

Well if this guy eats that amout of anyfood and dosent exsersize he'll gain weight

That is a good point. Spurlock is a self-promoting machine but I for one don't believe the hype at all.

I agree, Holcomb. What Spurlock calls a documentary is hardly a documentary at all. He's not observing anything "natural." His is a controlled environment and he's merely filmed a bunch of experiments that he conducted on himself. I don't get all the hype either.

I am with you guys on this one. It still blows my mind that people think it will win an Oscar.

Yeah. It will be right alongside with my new documentary on how strip clubs should be sued because they have all of the sudden made people perverted!!

It's escapism in the worst way.

Fat people who do nothing but ask for it, will look at this and go "Hahaha woooow. He's REALLY bad, we're not that bad therefore we're not that fat". It's sort of a reverse moral boost for the fat, obese people of America.

Having been to America multiple times (I'm from London) I can safely say that the meals served there are significantly bigger than those served here. Eating those dinners every day of your life WILL get you fat and overweight.

There were funny parts but I choose to listen to my doctor over some "documentary" director.

All this talk has gotten me hungry. I think I'll go out and get HARDEE'S new 1,420 calorie, 103 fat gram thickburger!
