Whoa, they made this into a MOVIE??? Cool! I was a bit incredulous at first when I saw that the film is fictionalized, and that they're using actors in parts, but after seeing the trailer, I can't wait to see it, having loved the book! (For those of you who haven't read it, Eric Schlosser's book, Fast Food Nation was kinda like the book equivalent of Morgan Spulock's documentary Super Size Me, though more sober and less gonzo in tone. Then again, now Spurlock has his own book out called Don't Eat This Book, so now it's come full circle: Spurlock has written a prose version of his movie, and now someone has filmed a cinematic version of Schlosser's book!

Guess this could also be thought of as a fast food equivalent of Thank You For Smoking.
