If you have so much beef with it, why do you bother? If don't like the food, then stay out of the friggin kitchen.

That's ridiculous. What do you think the purpose of the 1 or 2 star ratings are if it's wrong to dislike an article? Negative ratings are essential if you truly want to know if something is good instead of "55 likes" which doesn't tell you anything. Otherwise the site would say "Please rate, but positive ratings only." Please don't scare the honest people away.

OK, Now I cant say that I am a fan of Film Brian but, Wtf is your problem? As an individual am not entertained by the film brian but that does not mean that he nor anyone deserves to be bashed? In fact cheesoid Would you like to know something that is entertaining? in fact its pretty hilarious. He The Film Brian is in fact a critic, that makes videos on other videos where are yours? Do you have any videos up? Also when it came to being predictable... um DUH... 5 second movies the basic jist of the whole movie, In this case will eating McDonald's for 30 straight days make you sick? Then Morgan (the main actor) puking is the best scene why because it made him sick, what else was he going to put up the scene where he is saying he has the woosh feeling in his penis? Thats what you want to have as the whole just of the movie right? So let me see If I can make this right for [u]you[/u.


[size=large][color=red] Supersize me![/color][/size]In 5 seconds (end song)

"What would happen if I ate nothing but McDonald's for thirty days straight?"
(next scene) (Morgans girlfriend) " You know, he gets tired easily. I think the saturated fats are starting to impede the blood flow to his penis, and he's having a hard time, you know, getting it up. He does, totally. It's still good, but it's definitely a big difference."
Thats it

Pretty fuckin funny right..... didnt think so

People see a move and when they get to the bottom line of the movie... makes the movie in like 5 seconds. McDonald's makes you sick he throws up.... the expectation was to see him get sick because that's the bottom line of the move and in The Film brian's video he pukes what do you want?

Oh it's so unscientific that drinking Coke 2 times a day will increase the risk of getting diabetes. oops.

No, it's unscientific because NOBODY is EVER going to eat nothing but McDonald's for an entire month. The entire premise is ludicrous.

Sure it's entertaining to watch, but it has absolutely no value as a documentary.

Maybe no one will eat McDonalds for an entire month, but it's pretty much possible that someone might eat only take out for an entire month, and that's as bad.

I agree.

What, are you a sheltered suburbanite? The premise isn't too far off the mark in some areas of the country.

That part is just for show. It still does it job of telling everyone that Junk Food is still bad regardless of what the corporation told you. It is best to eat home cooked snacks and meals as oppossed to eat something that was processed from a factory.

Actually, a lot of people do eat McDonalds everyday. Also, he said that he was going to eat nothing but McDonalds for 30 days and see what happens, and that's exactly what he did. What's unscientific about that?

Yeah, I've eaten virtually nothing but fast food for the last decade and I'm still only a size 3. It's because I don't eat a lot of it. I eat a regular sized cheeseburger, a kid sized soda, and I can't even finish an entire small french fries.

But I enjoyed Super Size Me because I think it makes a valid point about the ridiculous portion sizes that Americans eat. I would definitely barf if I tried to eat a whole Super Size meal at once.

You can't say something is "unscientific" because it's useless... Scientific experimentation is what it is wether it's documentary material or not... Formulate a hypothesis, experiment, confirm or discard hypothesis... that's what he did in a nutshell

I drink nothing BUT coke every day. ;D

Well lately I've went off the coke and onto various fruit juices, but yeah.

As for what VengefulRonin said, it's not unscientific, it's unrealistic. There's a major difference. Also, some people actually DO eat nothing but fast foods every day for their lives.

Those were not the claims made.

Sure, so if I eat vegan for thirty days, that'll happen to me too.

Didn't he get a Dr Nick to tell him he was going to die at one point?

[quote=Nadilo]It was to be one of the worst movie/documental I ever saw...not only is was stupid but it was wrong from the scientific point of view[/quote]

How so? It did show the effects of regular fast food use. And there are some people who eat like that. Could you link to the source that suggests otherwise?

If the movie was about how drinking liters and liters of and milkshakes can be bad for you then I would agree. This movie isn't about that though, it's about how awful mcdonalds food is.

He deliberately ate the biggest things and washed them down with largest sodas and shakes.

Missing the point Completely...

i loved this movie it was wellmade in my opnion. this was so funny. right when i saw that opeing i was expeting to se at the very end where he is fat and unhealthy didnt see the throwing up coming. i was laughing for a good 30 seconds after i saw it, funny shit.

I have much to say so I think Im going to do a review on this...

[quote=Nadilo]I have much to say so I think Im going to do a review on this...[/quote]

Would you disprove him on anecdotal evidence?

Yes, this is the movie, basically...

I suggest everyone to watch it: it's extreme, but shows that the more the food is processed, the worse is for our health.

Fast food should be avoided if possible, especially at school.

Everyone needs to see this movie. Like you said, it is extreme--almost no one would eat that much McDonald's food--but I think people really don't realize just how bad it can be and on how many different levels it can affect you (mental well-being for one).

I must say this movie was quite pointless. Who the hell would eat mcdonalds for every meal of every day? Even if someone did, it's not like they're close to death. Being fat isn't bad for you.
Back to the movie: for one, the guy didn't exercise at all while eating mcdonalds all the time. If he did, I bet he would have been healthier, despite eating all that crap. Also, he overate like a motherfucker. 5000 calories a day. No one overeats that much.
And eating anything too much is bad for you. People need variety in their meals srsly. I mean if you sit around eating nothing but vegetables and no meat or dairy products you'd be unfreakinhealthy too. I mean, at least mcdonalds food is safe cuz its processed, while fruits and vegetables could be contaminated, however rarely.
My favorite part was when he was talking to his family members and they're all worried about his health n shit. That was funny.
Anyways, the only thing this documentary proved was what we all knew already, except for the host apparently: eating one thing wayyy to much is bad for you, especially when you eat over twice the frickin recommended daily amount of calories for an adult.

Being fat (as in overweight) isn't bad for you? Than why should we exercise and worry about our diet? And, a lot of people do eat that much food everyday and don't exercise, it's true. And when this was made, people didn't know so much about the harms of fast food. None of the 3 doctors supervising him predicted that it would have that much of an effect on him (like the liver problems for example). It was made when their Super Size option was still on the menu, and they took the option off because of this movie.

That's not what it shows. That's the agenda he's pushing, but it's not supported by the evidence he presents. If you consume 3000+ calories of natural whole foods every day, you'd gain just as much weight.

[b]ha ha ha ha ...... ha ha ha....haaaaaaa.... brabo just brabo....that was awesomly dicusting :lol: [/b]

The documentary isn't false, but it is extremely stupid. "What if I only ate fast food?" about as smart to do as "What if I hit myself in the head with a hammer for a month?"

It's not fair how they blame fast food, it is 100% the buyers fault. If they can't resist eating all the time, then they have an eating problem, which is THEIR problem.

I had to watch this 6 times in Junior High, so I've come to resent this movie. The host is cool though.

I thought it might be the stomach stapling scene. This was pretty visceral as well.

[quote=vrb]Didn't he get a Dr Nick to tell him he was going to die at one point?[/quote]

yup, he even began by saying "HI EVERYBODY!!"

this movie was fairly pointless. they sought to find out what would happen if you only ate fast food for a month. the result? you become fat. no duh!

[quote=clownwithoutmakeup ]this movie was fairly pointless. they sought to find out what would happen if you only ate fast food for a month. the result? you become fat. no duh![/quote]as well as you get liver problems and flattened herithrocites...I don't think it is that obvious

:D Was not expecting that.

If your going to watch a documentary, might I direct you to King of Kong (instant on netflix)

Exactly what I expected. And I lost taste in McDonald's food long ago.

His logic was flawed from the get go because nobody HAS to go into McDs. All this Documentary did was try to absolve over-eaters of responsibility and ruin Big-Macs for the rest of us who eat one every now and then (they're awful now not enough sauce).

I liked it, and I got a different take from it than just blame the corporation. Yeah, at McDonald's there is an evil that does not sleep, but a lot of people just don't think about how unhealthy it is. They KNOW its fatty but its a good wake up call as to how fatty and how fucked up you can get from it.

The inner Queen fanboy in me wants to find the guy who made this movie and pistol whip him for 30 days for using Fat Bottom Girls in such a degrading way.

The movie was unscientific for completely shamming the results in their favor. Just read the Wikipedia article.

[quote=Uberman5000]Would you disprove him on anecdotal evidence?[/quote]
Jeje I knew we were going to have a discuss over this...Of course eating junk food is not healthy. What I dont like about this movie is that he takes it to the extreme(Nobody would eat all the time in MC plus we dont have that amount of money-jeje)...also there are some mistakes in his experiments. But I will try to explain myself better next week.

The whole point of this documentary is "duh." I know there is a message about our bad habits and unhealthy industries, but look, Morgan Spurlock was on a pure organic vegetarian diet at the start of the film. Of course he's gonna throw up at first. His body is not ready for it. Besides, this is McDonald's, we're talking about here. And I mean before they decided to put apple wedges in your kid's happy meal. It won't kill everybody, no, but some may die. It killed Spurlock's boner.

I think for those of you who are focusing on the [i]sensational aspect[/i] of the movie (the 30 days of eating McD's) should instead turn your attention to what was at the core of the movie.

The core being that the U.S. has a very ridiculous view of health. Our schools are - even though this movie is slightly dated and changes have occurred (I'm a teacher I know this) - filled with terrible snack and lunch options for kids, physical education programs that are either sub-par or being cut, the quintessential fix for those who are overweight in the form of gastric bypass or supplements or even quick fix diets, and how generally we don't have the knowledge we as Americans need when making healthy choices (although the movie also postulates that we don't necessarily [i]have[/i] the right choices available.)

These aspects of health have since been addressed on shows like [i]Penn & Teller's Bullshit[/i] and Michael Moore's [i]Sicko[/i]. Morgan Spurlock set the standard for discussing our health. Other artists have followed with their own interpretations.

Oh and back to the whole '30 days' aspect of the movie. If you have seen the movie, the judge in that case was quoted - in the court's briefs - that if the lawyers for the plaintiffs 'could show that McDonald's intended for their clients to eat their food for every meal everyday...' and in doing so 'would be [i]reasonably [/i]dangerous', then they would have had a decent shot at their suit. Spurlock was just taking the judge up on his offer from a truly anthropological stand point.

Mentioning Michael Moore as support for a documentary is like mentioning Dubya as a support of an exit strategy.


If Spurlock thought eating McDonald's food for every meal of every day would prove that McDonald's intended for their clients to eat thusly, he, much like Moore, is an example of everything wrong with documentaries.

I don't really understand the connection to Michael Moore and 'Dubs' there. The only thing the can be wrong with Moore's style of documentary is that he often uses ambush interviews. Other than that, the format is the same as any other documentary. If he has a stance you don't agree with, I feel that would be better than an equivocation that it is just wrong.

Also Zax, you seem to miss the point. The judge came to the realization that the suit was not winnable in it's current form. He noted that they would have to prove that McD's planned on providing breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily to the plaintiff's in order to prove malfeasance. Spurlock saw an opportunity to test just what would happen if such a scenario would take place. He discovered that - at the time - McD's was serving food that was way over the daily limit in terms of sodium consumption. Especially sugar. I personally found that revelation to be the most telling. It then had to be asked if that we - as a people - really need to consume a 64oz cup of soda in just one sitting.

You and others seem a little hung up on the [i]messenger[/i] rather than the message. By the way, I just mentioned how health care has been addressed by other artists [i]such as[/i] Moore and Penn & Teller. I don't agree with Moore's style of the aforementioned ambush interviews, but as for the message, I'm all for it. It's easy to make a comic foil out of Mr. Moore due to his obesity and pention for being "whiney", and that's of his own doing because he included himself in his films and opened himself up for personal scrutiny. The message presented should be taken and evaluated on its merits and then scrutinized if need be. Just ignore the cult of personality.

I am wondering if you could actually make a comment without being insulting to...well anything?

I guess that's the nature of forums on the 'Interwebs', but I'm quite frankly put off by it. Many don't realize just how bad some food is for them. I have been around for many years discussing portions and eating habits with people and they don't know. Yes they aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer and at times they should be insulted for their stupidity, but I feel a documentary like this is a way to bridge the gap of knowledge with a little entertainment (the 30 days of McD's stupidity) mixed in with it.

And thanks for proving my point about attacking the messenger and not the message. Two times on one page no less.

And I did make the connection. It's just the way that you said it was kind of...FAIL! Sorry, couldn't help myself. Now I must wash my hands of this LEET speak and pointless arguing.

Again with you idiots who can't tell when Spoony is joking, Jesus.


Good little video, FB... I was expecting that, though, 'cause I seen this movie.

i thought "super high me" was alot more interesting from a meical point of view. we all know fastfood is bad for you. but is pot bad for you? see the film and draw your own conclusion

I fucking hate McDonald's. Too much fat. Makes people fat. Must drink Slimfast! lol

That scene is ridiculous. He obviously ate too much on purpose so he would throw it up just to make it seem like the food was bad.

That happened early on in the experiment, he had a Double Quarter Pounder meal Super-Sized which many people have eaten without throwing up. Must've been his body's reaction to such a large size of food.

http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=rhn_-oQcLaI& feature=related

To be honest, at the beginning of the documentary the guy was fairly healthy guy to start with who was used to normal sized portions, not to mention that his girlfriend was a vegan who would choose certain nights out of the week for veggie night I believe.

One of the things that people here are forgetting is that the huge meal in question was bought not because it was part of his regiment but as a rule. Along with choosing one different combo from McDonald's menu and cycling through their catalog of different foods through out the month, if he was ever asked "Would you like to Super Size that?" by an employee while ordering, he HAD to get it Super Sized and that was his first Super-Sized meal.

Fun little factoid for those who hadn't seen it: At the time of its recording, Texas was the state with the highest obesity rate in America and while he was visiting, Spurlock almost every visit he made to a McDonalds asked him if he wished to super-size his meal except for like... one or two times.

He only was asked to Super Size nine times actually, that's not that much out of 90 meals. Here's from http://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Super_Size_Me:

"In thirty days, he "Supersized" his meals nine times along the way (five of which were in Texas, three in New York City)."

Thanks to that asshole I can't super size my meals any more and it was so cheap and you got so much more! Thanks for being a dumb ass!

Somebody call the WAAAAAAAMBULANCE!
