Zeitgeist the Movie


Any of you folks watch this? I'm a sucker for conspiracy theories so I' finally got around to watching this today. Really interesting stuff, particularly the 9/11 section.

I dont really regard it as conspiracy theory stuff, a lot of it is really well researched and presented. I like to think of it as an altnernative history.

I felt like the beginning is sometimes reaching a bit.

I've never watched it, they have a part 2 Zeitgeist Addendum they released, probably on Google too but I found it on torrent sites.



A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.

I heard a lot about it, but I havent seen it yet.

sadly when I saw this thread at first I thought it was about NIGHEIST the band with Mugger the old Black Flag roadie in it.

I watched the second one today as well. Not nearly as interesting as the first. It wasn't so much the subject matter, but that a good deal of it seemed to drag on forever.

yep! watched both of 'em.

very interesting stuff.

i liked part 1 of the first and second movie a lot.

here's an interview with the maker of Zeitgeist, Peter joseph, that turns ugly when he insists that religion is a big problem in society.

So much of this movie has been disproven.

Zeitgeist? Such as? The only things to my knowledge that have been in question are the arguments over the religious connotations.

i've never seen anything that disproves it.

picking a part of the movie and saying "that's not true" is not disproving it.

i've seen lots of people disagree and criticize the movie.

this covers that:

http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/q&a.htm

what i have seen a lot of is people posting "So much of this movie has been disproven."

the religionists like to say it's not true, but the only info they offer is religiously oriented.

here is a response to the people who freak out about the religion part:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_9ZyddjaM4

the biggest beef people seem to have is that the movie doesn't call out it's sources as it goes along, but all you need to do is visit the Zeitgeist page and all the sources for the first movie are detailed.
