I dig Shaun, but hot Fuzz was such a riot... just constant jokes playing with all those clichés... plus a ton of killer scenes 😍

For anyone who’s a fan of Peggy, he wasn't half bad in Big Nothing. It’s just dark comedy, nothing groundbreaking, but still decent enough

Yeah, true...

You haven't even watched it yet and you're already making calls like that? Look, I'm done arguing with you... it’s a dead end. I'm not trying to sell you anything, nor am I trying to convince you of anything. Whatever you want to believe, fine. That's your call... so 👋

You know me from maybe two or three posts, genius... how can you even justify that? You talk about serious philosophy and deep science, yet where’s the actual research? Where’s the proof? You're basing your entire opinion of me on wrong, thin, and most likely totally fake assumptions...

That "verbal masturbation" comment? That was just a jab at you. Figure out how and why if you can...

I'm criticizing that movie because it's just another symbol of the snake-oil approach used by the news. I get that's how the world works now, but when they try to sell something like that as "eye-opening," I have to say something.

In a world built on Gladiators and Jessica Simpson, multi-billion dollar ad campaigns, sacrificing people and nature for oil and other riches, senseless wars, fear of terrorists—whether real or media-made—taxes, debt, insurance, sickness, a broken legal system, greed, the mob, pyramid schemes, and all the other nonsense... that movie actually *is* eye-opening. It forces you to stop and think. But you can go try to sell your "enlightenment" with Build for All and Care whoever you want... you won't sell it to me.

What I quoted comes straight from a Surrealist, and honestly, that says it all. It’s my way of poking fun at all those "deep" analysts trying to dissect the human spirit and body—not to mention your own arrogant attitude.

The movie is about opening your eyes and actually thinking for once instead of just following the paved paths. Whether someone chooses to do that or not? That's on them.

Do you think the film is a masterpiece or just a pile of garbage? That's entirely up to you. Feel free to advertise your "profound" philosophical insights however you like...

This version isn't meant for downloading. Unless you’ve already got some software to handle that, just hit the link up top and stream the movie in a new window.

Look, during my few years studying philosophy, I definitely ran into texts like that. But just because I don't waste my time—unlike some people—on pretentious, pseudo-intellectual, verbal masturbation just to prove my views are the only "true" ones, that’s a different story. You know what I mean?

"The abstraction of cinematic expression, as a language of specificity or an abstraction of the artistic act itself, de jure represents a kind of sacred reification of one's own inferiority and infantilism, regardless of the type of supremacy asserted through that same language as a specificity, and regardless of the level of aspiration at which we discuss it." 🙂 ☕

I’d much rather trust my own brain and think for myself than be someone like you—if I'm reading you right—who just blindly bows down, praising every single thing the establishment puts out.
And where else are you going to find this much irony? The endless ads, the money laundering, the massive sports industry involving millions of people—some active, some just watching—while here 6215 miles they claim everything they wear is handmade for a buck or two a month...

So, to you, the path of "WTC -> hunt terrorists -> maybe they're in Afghanistan -> screw them, let's go to Iraq" feels perfectly normal and justified. No documentary is ever going to shake you. You'll just hang your head and swallow whatever they feed you. There's a wolf in the woods, after all. Better to just stay in the middle of the herd...

I’m with you there... some people are just hardwired that way. It makes them such easy targets for manipulation, too. They just swallow whatever they're told without a second thought and follow it blindly.

That third part of the documentary about the Federal Reserve is heavy. I mean, we all suspected the powerful held the reins, but seeing how a handful of individuals actually pull the strings? It’s insane... pure madness.

This isn't some conspiracy theory nonsense. It’s just cold, hard facts. Since it's a two-hour flick dealing with religion and politics, I figured I'd drop it here.

You really ought to watch it.

Statement:

"Thanks for checking out Zeitgeist.
We built this as a non-profit project to nudge people toward seeing the world
through a sharper lens—to realize that most things aren't quite what the
general public assumes they are. The information in Zeitgeist was established over a year long period
of research and the current source page on this site lists the sources used / referenced.
An interactive transcript featuring deep-dive footnotes and links is coming soon.

Here’s the thing: people tend to reflexively reject anything that
clashes with their worldview, usually without doing any actual digging.
Take Parts 1 and 3, for example. That info isn't just sitting there
waiting to be found via a quick Google search. You have to work for it. For instance,
when people search for "Horus" or "The Federal Reserve" online, they often
internet draw their conclusions from very general or biased sources. Online encyclopedias or textbook
encyclopedias often do not contain the information contained in Zeitgeist. But if you actually
take a moment to go through the provided sources, you'll see everything here is
backed by hard evidence. Need a correction, a clarification, or want to add a point?
Check the Clarifications page.

Look, I don't want anyone taking this film as gospel.
Do your own homework. Truth isn't something handed to you; it's something you uncover.

Thanks"

Not even close... just the facts that everyone needs to hear...

Man, what an incredible movie!!

Part 1: Jesus = The Sun Myth (fascinating theory about the Sun and Biblical astrology. Personally, I find it interesting, though I'm mostly agnostic—I don't judge anyone else's beliefs, so to each their own)

Part 2: 9/11 (some things I already knew, some things were new, but it’s all so glaringly obvious it's insane)

Part 3: Global Control (this part is phenomenal. Even if it's just stuff people generally know, seeing how a few elites manipulate the masses is wild. Watching the details unfold—why wars start, who's pulling the strings... how much longer can we take this?!)

EVERYONE TO THE STREETS!!! 😠 🙂 🙂
FUCK THE POLICE

Run...Audition...man, that scene with the bag is heavy. Creepy as hell.

Miike 🙏
