J\’ai pour ma part été parcourue de frissons en regardant le \’preview\’ de ce film, que je vais certainement aller voir. Ça me semble tout à fait inspirant comme documentaire. Merci à l\’avance.

Does this remind anyone else of the third part of the \”Raaaaaaaandy\” documentary where Randy starts becoming interested in Darfur?

Despite the mushy trailer and p.r., I saw a screening and thought the film had some excellent points–especially for those pursuing the Hollywood Dream. One that sticks with me: in fact money *can* buy you happiness–to a point. But beyond that baseline, the pursuit of money / power / fame brings nothing to one\’s life but unfulfilled expectations. The pursuit of \”happiness,\” i.e. wealth, is a lie our culture propagates and lots of people believe. There\’s a reason people who win the lottery have a higher suicide rate than other people. I wonder what would happen if this were required viewing for people in the Biz?

I feared the film would go down the rabbit hole in the way that \”What the Bleep Do We Know?\” did. But Shadyac managed to keep the thing in the realm of the sensible and sane. I found it to be a worthy, discussion-inducing film.

You\’d think that it wouldn\’t have to take a near death experience for the director of ACE VENTURA to wake up and think WHAT HAVE I DONE?

Though i suppose discerning moviegoers on the planet can quietly thank the intervening act of god.

–\”after a deadly cycling accident,\” he went on to give away most of his possessions?
–spent the past little putting together a documentary about these experiences.

You guys are so good at aggregating the daily scoop. I wish you had someone to proof it.
