Went to see The Corporation last night. Wow, was that 21/2 hours of butt-numbing bad editing or what? There was some great footage there, even some thoughts which need to get heard, but it was all so muddled in amongst mixed messages and overly propagandized material that I've got to say give this one a pass.
Now if someone will release the unedited "protesters hang banner on the house of the head of Shell Oil who invites them in for a tea party" video from which they took clips, I'll sit through that. And I'm interested a bit in looking at how Interface, Inc. has changed their business practices. But MTV style cutting back and forth between distinctly non-insightful talking heads and annoying graphics and animations muddled the message and alienated me, one of the people the film could have been talking to.
Despite the buzz, I'd say skip it.
