ZEITGEIST, by one Peter Joseph

Look. I’m sure that this has been discussed a time or two (thousand) before. But as a new user, I’ve not yet been able to master the search function enough to draw such discussions from the mists of time (more fool me, eh?).

Anyway, to put it plainly: I have a good, good friend, who was, and is, as generous an individual as you could ever hope or dream to come across, in ANY lifetime (and I will stand by that assessment under penalty of pain of death).

HOWEVER.

He tends to lend a sympathetic ear to the ministrations of Jesse Ventura, and he is particularly on about a movie (or series of movies) that he has implored me to watch on DVD, by the name of Zeitgeist. Now. Upon preliminary perusal of both this message board, and Google in general, it seems to me that the source material is … suspect? (coughflagrantconspiracytheoriescough)

But am I wrong? And if I’m, in fact, NOT wrong in my preliminary assessment … well, can you point me in the direction wherein I can both edify myself, and, um, point out where my friend is hopelessly wrong?

Thanks.

I was given a copy of Zeitgeist by a loony friend. I got though about half an hour. It was a jumbled mess of fact (not much), fiction, numerous conspiracy theories and outright battiness.

Maybe it got better? I seem to remember it was quite long.

Give it a watch and tell us what you think.

I watched it. In my estimation it was almost entirely bullshit and totally unscientific.

I watched this thing because online friends kept hyping it as mind blowing.

WTF? It is a mix of 9/11 conspiracy theory and exposing christianity as GASP based on earlier religious traditions. The sun, sunday, son of god=ra sun god type of nonsense.

Is this the movie I’m remembering?
