Which is worse, Super Size Me or Fahrenheit 911

[Red Stranger]

Which mockumentary is worse, Super Size Me or Fahrenheit 911?

Super Size Me is the one where the guy ate McDonald's for every meal for a month, and got really fat.

After he got really fat, he made Fahrenheit 911 where he showed footages of other disasters and claiming that it's related to Iraq. (I know they're not the same guy)

For me, Super Size Me was worse. Their conclusion was so out of reality. I mean nobody's going to eat at McDonalds for all their meals, that's just stupid. I want to see him try to eat only lettuce for a month (lettuce is supposed to be healthy). He'll probably die after a week because of the lack of Calories. At least in Fahrenheit, they have funny footages.

Fahrenheit 911 because I just hate Michael Moore. At least Spurlock wasn't filming to furthur his own agenda, and in his current TV he has given up everything to try living on minimum wage. Hes making documentaries for their own sake, whereas Moore is making them for his own sake

Super Size Me was actually informative. Didn't you catch what the media spokespeople, medical authorities, etc, were saying at the beginning? "There will be slightly elevated levels of x in his system, but overall he'll still be healthy as a horse" "eating nothing but McDonalds should have no serious health complications whatsoever" blah blah blah. By day fifteen they were begging him to get off it or he would die.

I mean, it didn't change my opinion of squat. But at least it was fun watching a guy fly circles around the line spouted by fast food companies.

Yeah I think his 30 Days series is brilliant.

(I haven't seen Farenheit 911, so can't say which is better.)

Voted 911.

A dutch guy did the Mc Donalds experiment too, but used his mind and didn't take a supersized meal all the time, but also ate salads. He lost 6 kilo's.

 

[Pasi Nurminen]

Spurlock's was more of an experiment with publicity than with actual nutrition; he wanted to test what McDonalds (and other fast food chains) was spewing to the public. He only took super sized meals when they asked if he would like his meal supersized, but if they did ask him, he had to take it.

I have saw F911, and thought Super-Size Me was pretty good, so I can't vote.

 

[Capulet]

I like both... especially SSM since Morgan Spurlock is from my town and graduated from my high school.

 

[Nobody]

i liked both

 

[Che Guava]

Both were entertaining. F-911 just had a smaller fact content.

 

[Jawz II]

they are both equally brilliant, althought 9/11 was more important

 

[Grohan]

Both are equally good.

 

[PrinceOfLeigh]

Liked both. Alot of cynicism on this forum at times.

I voted Farnheit 911, there is already enough Bush bashing in this country. We don't need a movie. And overall that movie sucked more (you know what)than a two bit hooke... uh better not go there.

 

[Irish Caesar]

I saw SSM, but not Fahrenheit. After hearing about how boring Fahrenheit was (and how brilliant it was from many of my fact-impaired friends), I decided not to see it. Plus, after watching "Roger and Me," I had no interest of seeing anything by Moore.

Didn't vote, although I don't think either was good.

 

[Japher]

I too only saw SSM, and have no care to see Fahrenheit.

The only thing I liked about SSM was the study about food at schools and how it corollated with the overall level of education received by the students.

Very enlightening.

The rest was a stunt.

 

[Reno]

Neither of them was bad, i liked both. But Super Size Me, was a bit better.

 

[SeleucusNicator]

F911 was pure political propaganda and may have actually hurt its cause more than it helped it. Moreover, Michael Moore is by far the more annoying of the two documentary makers.

As for Super Size me, well, come on. I don't care what the fast food spokesmen said, did anything really except a result other than him gaining weight? Come on. Fast food is unhealthy? Yeah, that's Nobel Prize material. Nobody knew that.

 

[cegman]

Super Size Me is ok. The experiment was no duh but the information spread out between it was good.

9/11 didn't really have as many facts that I can remeber.

 

[Riesstiu IV]

I haven't seen it but Super Size Me sounds completely pointless. Of course eating fast-food three times a day for a month is going to make you an unhealthy fat slob on the verge of death. You don't need a movie to figure that one out.
