electric relaxation

I originally downloaded this movie a couple of months ago. It’s how I found out about Girl Talk. Anyway, I only watched like the first twenty minutes and I kept meaning to go back and watch it, which I finally managed to do on Saturday. I forced Lisa to sit through it with me, and I think she was pleasantly surprised by it. I think it drags on a bit towards the end, with more reiteration of the same concepts a la Guns, Germs and Steel.

Nonetheless, I really liked it - in particular I thought it was very balanced; unlike, say, This Film Is Not Yet Rated, or any of Michael Moore’s stuff, it doesn’t try to be black and white about the situation nor does it attempt to caricature or ridicule the corporate concerns represented in the film.
