Okay, so it sounds like a summary of the movie could be...

RELIGION SUCKS!!!

9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB!!!

Jewish INTERNATIONAL BANKERS CONTROL US ALL!!!

...so, why all of the media attention? A bunch of conspiracy theories isn't exactly conducive to reasoned discussion.  Especially when those conspiracy theories seem to be made up of a mix of Marxist dogma, 9/11 truther crap, and thinly-veiled racism.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

Trust me, Garcian, if I understood why THIS movie got popular instead of the other heaps of conspiracies, I'd let you know. Conspiracies like this have been around for soo long, someone threw together a bunch of them along with the usual 9/11 was the government conspiracy, and the herds just eat it up.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Everything that that video shows is 100% true. Currently, there is a class action law suit against the US administration for acts of terror against its citizens. The law suit is in excess of 80 Billion dollars and continues to get pushed back and delayed.

I recommend that you goto Infowars.com and readup on what is happening to our world as we are slowly but surely becoming a prision planet.

 I don't know what's funnier: the fact that you posted infowars.com as a reliable source of facts, or the fact that you actually believe what it says.

@ Machina-AX: I think people are just expecting Billy to write and record the next Siamese Dream or Mellon Collie, when he clearly wants to take the band's sound in new directions. Frankly, I know I a lot of people who enjoyed Zeitgeist. (Much more than they enjoyed Zwan or the solo album, anyway.) 

But then, I like Machina more than SD or MCatIS, so maybe I'm just weird.

The first part of the film (about christianity and it's purported resemblance to other ancient "saviour religions" )has been debunked over and over again. It's full of lies.

^^ Do you have a link to a debunking? I'd like to show a counter argument to my son (and his teacher...)



 

There are tons out there, but these I've read recently:

I hope this is a joke.

Zeitgeist is absolutely hilarious as long as you don't take it seriously, and you would have to be nuts to take it seriously. Leaving the ridiculous conspiracy theories to one side, they bombard the viewer with so many falsehoods that it becomes impossible to determine what little of the information is grounded in truth.

For instance, it is well known among religious historians that Jesus Christ was not born on the 25th of December and that this date was likely chosen by Romans as it was the day they celebrated the winter solstice, but Zeitgeist makes numerous ridiculous claims about similarities between different religions that go way beyond that. Not only do they claim that the Buddha was also born on the 25th December (actual date not known, though his birthday is often celebrated in May) but they also claim he was a virgin birth, something that would have come as some surprise to his father, King Suddhodana. They also give a convuluted astrological rationale for the Buddha' mother's name beginning with M, even though the figure M does not feature in any Indian alphabets.

Most of the other religious figure they mention I have no knowledge of, so when I was watching I did not know if the info was true or not, and herein lies the problem. If you don't know that the info they use to construct their theories is false, you may just end up believing them.

I wouldn't even know where to start taking apart all the government paranoia bullshit. Anyone that claims a plane did not fly into the pentagon has got to be a f'in' fruit loop.



This movie is amazing. If you don't believe the stuff on religion at least understand that the stuff about 9/11 and all world events being staged is absolutely true.

The religious stuff is always up to debate, because we really don't know who wrote the Bible or why. But parts 2 and 3 are completely verifiable by looking at official government documents.

I find it amazing that you were shown this movie in school.
