opens a chicken sandwich restaurant
as he's signing the loan application from the bank that will be used to create the restaurant, shit talks Chick-Filet and calls them hate mongering bigots to the banker and goes on to tell the banker he'll "only contract with ethical chicken farms for his chicken meat".
out that there is no such thing as an ethical chicken farm and has to chose a slightly more ethical chicken farm that is still scummy in how it treats it's chickens
flops
is filled with Morgan complaining how his other works flopped and how people keep asking for a SSM sequel >>Ends with him backing away from the running of the restaurant which shuts down after the movie came out
-Filet still in business and producing a quality product
commits professional suicide several years later, literally admitting to doing #MeToo type shit and gets kicked out of his own production company, with the punchline being that the person Morgan sexually harass was never going to talk and that Morgan's own drunken paranoia caused him to confess as he realized that had he kept his mouth shut, no one would have known the bad shit he did.
this movie is such bullshit, you'd think that it'd be him recreating the experiment from the first film, but it's just an advertisement for his kfc esque restaurant, banking on the name only
The premise of the first movie was that portions sizes were out of control because fast food chains were competing to push more food as a better value and normalizing the consumption of way too much food and soda in a single meal. Strip out all the junk science and this premise is still at least defensible. Trouble is every major fast food chain already reacted to this and most of them permanently discontinued their "comically oversized" meal options. So what's left to complain about other than unhealthy food existing at all?
Any given American worships some combination of corporations, Israel and blacks. Be slightly critical of one of those things and they will snap at you.
My favourite grift is when he made an entire movie about going out to find Osama Bin Laden, got paid to have a globetrotting holiday, and the documentary just ends with "uh we can't find him I guess"
the funny thing is he's basically stumbling around like a moron the entire time and ends the movie by pretty much throwing out a random guess as to where he's hiding, and a few years later it turned out to be correct.
Yes it's what caused the huge scandal, he was asked before the experiment >Do you drink?
He said no
Then after 30 days, they were like >Oh my god your liver is destroyed, it's like you've been a disgusting alcoholic your entire life, fast food nearly KILLED YOU
turns out he was a degenerate alcoholic and that's what caused his internal organs to look like they were put through blenders, a huge scam
I haven't had fast food in over a decade because it's nasty. Eating healthy is based and helps me look good. As a former fatty, I've become immune to the call of junk food
Did anyone ever watch the TV show he did for a while? I remember one episode where he was doing "hard manual labor" and he pretended to hurt his hand on the first day and went to the doctor lol.
It's actually insane that they made a movie about this that was played in schools. It's like going back 3000 years and saying that because we can light a fire magic is real. We understand what calories are ffs.
>"when does personal responsibility end and corporate responsibility begin"
What a banal thesis for a documentary. Corporate responsibility begins when they start breaking the law. No one is forcing you to eat fast food morning/noon/night. You can drag your ass to the supermarket and eat healthy but people choose not to.
I just want to know why high school teachers were so obsessed with this movie. I don't even think it was a public school curriculum thing where I lived, some of my teachers simply loved bringing it up in class as much as possible.
they really let this fraud make another fake ass morality play disguised as a documentary?
It's more of a train wreck than the first one:

>metoos himself
Like what the frick was he thinking
It's not as if anybody would have anything to gain from coming after him
He had a bunch of accusations from his past hanging over him, including rape.
thanks for the breakdown
-Filet still in business and producing a quality product
They're planning to use chickens given antibiotics pretty soon. They're already making excuses that there isn't any differences.
Doesn't he open a chicken restaurant? I shut this off 20 min in like 8 years ago.
Damn now im hungry for fried chicken
supersize me threads are my favorite recurring Cinemaphile meme
CHICKEN SANDWICH BAD BINGE DRINKING GOOD
Wait, only eating junk food is bad? This is very troubling.
I miss him bros.
unsaturated fat turns to trans fat when cooked, so anything deep fried in standing goy oil like fried chicken is bad
this movie is such bullshit, you'd think that it'd be him recreating the experiment from the first film, but it's just an advertisement for his kfc esque restaurant, banking on the name only
I'm not good at diet, can someone please help?
McDonald's: 2800 calories
Sodas: 1200 calories
Alcohol: 10,000 calories
Please help, my liver is dying
go on a keto diet.
stick to vodka, costco has a good deal
>everyone know fast food is bad for you lol
>umm he was gaining weight because of the alcohol, ok??
well, everyone knows alcohol is bad for you too
>*blocks you're path*
My favorite part was when his doctor noted his weight was evening out and then the movie ended shortly after.
The premise of the first movie was that portions sizes were out of control because fast food chains were competing to push more food as a better value and normalizing the consumption of way too much food and soda in a single meal.

He actually addresses this in the sequel. All the chains changed their marketing strategy to appear healthier but their food is still the same slop.
Yeah, and being an alcoholic is bad for you, but he was still doing that in the sequel.
Why bother defending them? Their practices are deceptive.
Just like the documentary you're defending
Yeah I'm sure he put all his stocks in vegan restaurants.
Any given American worships some combination of corporations, Israel and blacks. Be slightly critical of one of those things and they will snap at you.
>McDonald's is being deceptive when it asks me if I want a large coke and fries with my double quarter pounder.
How?
The portions are also still way too big.
the portions still get smaller every year or two. this homie won't be happy until the chicken sandwich is one nugget.
Yes, please give us less food for the same amount of money. Please, I beg of you
Do Americans even eat that much fast food anymore? I thought that slop got significantly more expensive than it was during the early 00s
>"you shouldn't eat fast food every day"
>Americans: AHHHHHH I'M GOING INSANEEE
Holy based Spurlock
If I want McDonalds I get McDonalds I don't need a documentary telling me its shit.
My favourite grift is when he made an entire movie about going out to find Osama Bin Laden, got paid to have a globetrotting holiday, and the documentary just ends with "uh we can't find him I guess"
>a globetrotting holiday
>Morocco, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Israel, Afghanistan and Pakistan
You'd have to pay me to take that holiday
>Shitocco, Shitgypt, Shiti Shitabia, Shitdan, Shitrael,Shitghanistan and Shitistan
Lol yeah no thanks couldnt even pay me .
the funny thing is he's basically stumbling around like a moron the entire time and ends the movie by pretty much throwing out a random guess as to where he's hiding, and a few years later it turned out to be correct.
I think everyone knew all along that he was somewhere in the mountains of Afghanistan or Pakistan.
He guesses the specific city correctly though, it wasn't just "somewhere in the mountains of Afghanistan or Pakistan"
Was he exposed as a drunk before or after this second one was made?
Yes it's what caused the huge scandal, he was asked before the experiment
>Do you drink?
He said no
Then after 30 days, they were like
>Oh my god your liver is destroyed, it's like you've been a disgusting alcoholic your entire life, fast food nearly KILLED YOU
turns out he was a degenerate alcoholic and that's what caused his internal organs to look like they were put through blenders, a huge scam
Right before the second one came out he accidentally revealed he was drinking during Super Size Me.
I liked his other movie, the one where he documents himself pitching his movie to advertisers who are paying to be in the movie
I haven't had fast food in over a decade because it's nasty. Eating healthy is based and helps me look good. As a former fatty, I've become immune to the call of junk food

The alcoholic vegan did research and found that eating chickens was immoral? Wow.
>if I eat a shit load of calories every day I get fat
WOAAAAAAH
>only an alcoholic has liver results this bad. do you drink?
>not right this second as we speak.
STOP EATING ANIMAL PRODUCTS THEY ARE UNHEALTHY.
>eat meat deep fried in seed oils
>guys its the meat seed oils are totally vegan and healthy
It's actually insane that they made a movie about this that was played in schools. It's like going back 3000 years and saying that because we can light a fire magic is real. We understand what calories are ffs.
Didn't it come out how he basically mislead people with the first movie, and that he was secretly an alcoholic with a drinking problem?
Did it really need the scene where he downs a bottle of jack daniels?
>"when does personal responsibility end and corporate responsibility begin"
What a banal thesis for a documentary. Corporate responsibility begins when they start breaking the law. No one is forcing you to eat fast food morning/noon/night. You can drag your ass to the supermarket and eat healthy but people choose not to.
And people haven't gotten thinner since then they've gotten even fatter, the only thing that changed was less options for everyone.
And they changed the health guide lines to not hurt fat peoples feelings
>"And would you like that super sized?"
>No
Morgan Spurlock's brain just exploded.
I just want to know why high school teachers were so obsessed with this movie. I don't even think it was a public school curriculum thing where I lived, some of my teachers simply loved bringing it up in class as much as possible.
To act like intellectuals infront of their students who don't know any better. It's like those morons who brag about reading "Fast Food Nation"
>this guy just happened to predict within a few miles where bin laden was hiding
what was that all about?
He was always a taliban plant trying to undermine America's institutions
