      This movie is "defined by what you don't want it to be". They listed everything they did not want to do.

      Yes, this is what the artists did in the Brain Series to help with their creativity.

      So perhaps Thomas Friedman, and his point on the need for creativity, should have told us what the limits should be rather than that everyone now has to be creative in order for America to have a future.

      On a par with werewolves, vampires and teenage girls wanting to scream.

      Despite what was said regarding their motives, and no matter how careful they were with the script, I think it is bound to misinform and fuel hysteria in what is already a drug and health-obsessed society. If, in fact, it doesn't pander to it deliberately, like the foreign agent, nuclear holocaust, killer shark, dinosaur and alien invasion films of the past. I just detest that sort of thing. I'd rather see them even make Stephen King's psychotic fare. At least no one believes that stuff (I hope).
