Um. Where to begin? I guess I liked the film...I'm just not sure what the message in the movie was. There seemed to be no apparent climax. It was if they were loosely tossing out some facts of the fast food industry, flooding the cast with B-list celebrities, so we'd be more interested in talking about why Bruce Willis was in the movie, instead of recognizing the plot is a big ol' mess.Walking away from the film, here's some bullet point lessons I learned:1. When sneaking across the border, don't brag to your friends about your new shoes because you will end up dying in the desert. 2. That little girl Ashley Johnson, who played Mel Gibson's daughter in 'What Women Want' and was on the fast track to growing up as a new Joan Cusack, actually went the opposite and became quite the hottie. 3.

Last weekend Leslie rented Fast Food Nation while I was out in Tulsa. She thought I would like it and I was interested to see it so I got some time while she was out to watch it.
I liked it, I would give it a 7 out of 10. Which is good. It isn’t in my top 50 or anything, but I thought it had a lot of high points. I liked how it used a narrative structure to connect us to some issues that are worth discussing. Among them, crap in food, labor laws, and our distance from the preparation of food.
There were a couple parts of the movie that I felt were too forced, they turned didactic, which is understandable for a film of this nature. . but felt odd with it’s narrative structure. Most of those scenes involved “Amber” the young fast food worker turned idealist at the age of 17. She is a Lisa Simpson-esque persona that looks like a dark haired 17-year-old version of Laura Dern. She acted well, but seemed to push it more towards a forced documentary than a movie. I
A fictionalized thriller inspired by Eric Schlosser’s bestselling nonfiction expose of junk food companies. The story of fast food is the story of postwar America. Though created by a handful of mavericks, the fast food industry has triggered the homogenization of our society. Fast food has hastened the malling of our landscape, widened the chasm between rich and poor, fueled an epidemic of obesity, and propelled the juggernaut of American cultural imperialism abroad. Schlosser’s myth-shattering survey stretches from the California subdivisions where the business was born to the industrial corridor along the New Jersey Turnpike where many of fast food’s flavors are concocted. Along the way, he unearths a trove of fascinating, unsettling truths–from the unholy alliance between fast food and Hollywood to the seismic changes the industry has wrought in food production, popular culture, and even real estate.

Just how many people does it take to run a McDonald's drive through at lunch time?I'm still trying to figure out the answer to this question. I was starving and didn't want to eat lunch at the onsite nasty wannabe carryout, so I took a trip to the Golden Arches near my job in Vienna, just by Tyson's Corner Mall, and I was simply confused by the goings-on at the drive-thru. Instead of talking to the speakerbox like normal, there were three people walking up to the cars and taking orders before they got to the speakerbox order form thingy. Ol' girl came up to my car, asked what I wanted. I'm don't eat at McDonald's like that, so I need the aid of a menu, but this chick was not having it. So I had to order from my memory of the last time I was there. She was like "Ok, you pay cash or charge?"Me: "Da Hell?? Cash."Then she wrote down the total on a little green slip of post-it paper and stuck it to my side mirror and told me to go to the first window. I was all kinds of confused wit
