since josh has decided to observe the patriotic number "76" with a vow of silence, i feel it is my duty to post something up here. so, i watched this movie, on the recommendation of a co-worker, last night called, "what the 'bleep' do we know"... where do i begin?

this movie was funded, produced, and directed by followers of a man named "Ramtha" that lived 35,000 years ago in Lemuria (sort of like Atlantis), who has chosen to channel his consciousness through a broken down single mother from Roswell, New Mexico. if you have seen this movie and thought of QVC or similar shopping networks, you were not far off. the "enlightened" lady with bad cosmetics (almost as terrible as her accent... or a baboon's anus) is this special lady who Ramtha has chosen to channel himself through.

the scientists in this movie, physicists, psychologists, theologians, and chiropractors were all "masters" of the Ramtha School of Enlightenment, located in beautiful Yelm, WA, with the exception of one physicist who claimed to be grossly misrepresented and had in fact spent 5 hours explaining how they didn't understand quantum mechanics.

basically, this movie tries to lend credit to the ideals of Ramtha by validating it with doubt encountered in our physical world (on a sub-atomic and cellular level). what it ends up doing is creating a fantasy funland for people with absolutely no knowledge of these concepts to bend and twist them at their whim, bending and twisting their little minds to believe they are something more than a courtesy clerk at the local stop 'n shop, their marriage isn't failing, they aren't fat, that Twinkies are a miracle food that will help you live forever (there was a huge rush on Twinkies at the local QFC in Yelm after this statement), and that they are God. seriously. the skinny little pimply dork that can't control the outbreaks of acne on his face, can't control his voice, and begs in his mind at every beautiful girl that comes through his line to "not make him touch his own genitalia tonight" (not to mention couldn't bag your produce on top of the 6-pack of beer last week) was God and can control the very matter and reality that surrounds him. he was God and hey! so are you. welcome Ramtha.

let me save everyone the trouble of having to experience this movie themselves... come over to my house, give me $5, and i'll kick you in the crotch for a solid 2 hours. then, you can leave my house $5 poorer and wondering at the last two hours of your life that you will never get back.

i want to see a godzilla movie now.
