Movies: August 2005 Archives

I finally got around to seeing Super Size Me. I loved this movie. It was funny; it made its point rather well and didn't pretend to be anything too serious. Morgan Spurlock does a great job of being the writer, director and star of the show.

I haven't eaten very much fast food this year. I rather suspect I won't be eating much fast food for a good long while. I can't get over the size of the ingredient list for the chicken nuggets.

Seeing this movie reminded me of "the ramen incident." My employer used to provided free ramen noodles. I used to eat them for lunch a lot, sometime three or four times a week. One day as I was walking down the hallway a co-worker, W_____, looked at me and told me something like, "those things will kill you." Once I started thinking of them as "death noodles" they lost a fair amount of their original appeal.
