watched 'Enron: smartest guys in the room' last night. it was pretty good, but i've seen many more much better documentaries in my life (such as "Crumb"!!) so i doubt that it is deserving to win........ incidently, because 'lovefool' is in the soundtrack, i noticed the soundtrack residing at like #10 in the amazon.com 'tweepop' sub catagory... i was like 'what is this doing amongst all the belle and sebastian albums...' aha
sooooo.... the most interesting thing about the movie i think, was reference to an old experiment, which i don't remember ever reading about, surprisingly enough... milgram experiment. mostly it was conducted with men, but one experiment used women, and either way about 60-65% of the time, people will do anything an 'authority figure' says even if it means potentially killing a person!
awesome! other scientists duplicated around the world, same results...
the experiment explains a lot about a lot of things.
*** out of ****
