Saw Morgan Spurlock's documentary "Supersize Me" last night. If you have not seen it... consider it a replacement for the book "Fast Food Nation" or "The Jungle". Very good, very graphic at times (he is living off of McDonald's for a month... after a while he can't keep food down) but in the end very insightful. Apparently there are competitively priced healthier alternatives for school cafeterias, mildly more expensive ways to NOT make McDonald's threaten your health, and so on. Informative film, as documentaries tend to be...

Speaking of which, Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11: The Temperature at which Freedom Burns" WON the Palme D'Or at the Cannes Festival (making it the first documentary since Jacques Cousteau's "The Silent World" in 1953) as well as picking up a distributor in Albania. That makes the film available to every human being on the planet, except Americans. Disney (owner of Miramax, who made the film) has refused to distribute it because of an aversion from political movies as well as a dedication to family oriented material. At the time of this claim by CEO Michael Eisner, the highest grossing movie under Disney's belt was the family-fun-time "Kill Bill Vol.2"... yeah... just keep blinking.

Hopefully, after Cannes, Moore will get a distributor in the states by early July. He hopes to release on the July 4th weekend. As I was sluggish in bringing this up at all, I'll be sure to get all information up here immediately when it happens. In the mean time, go see "Supersize Me", it is well worth it.
