Spurlock definitely drives the point across that the fast food industry - well, the American food industry in general - is pure crap.

However, I would have loved to have seen some insight from respected scientists such as Betty Martini and Mary Enig. However, Martini's and Enig's pro-saturated fats and anti-soy stances would have been contrary to Spurlock's message of "fat is bad" and Spurlock's vegan lifestyle, so naturally their views would not have been welcome in this film unless they were to have been lumped in with Big Food. (It should be noted that there are a multitude of documented research that suggests that soy may actually cause cancer.) I also noticed in the film Margo Wootan of the Center for Science in the Public Interest was also in the film. I respect CSPI in some ways for the information that they put out, however from my research I have discovered that CSPI also engages in some disinformation - especially their "The Truth About Trans" article from the March 1988 Nutrition Action newsletter - which really disappoints me, and some other CSPI stances disappoint me. CSPI prides itself in being nicknamed the "food police," but that doesn't stop CSPI from receiving biotech funding from the Rockefeller Foundation to pimp for Monsanto's genetically-modified foods and Monsanto's rBGH growth hormone in cow milk - both of which are by the way fully endorsed by Big Food's front group, the Center for Consumer Freedom. CCF's website is full of "anti-organic" and "pro-GMO" propaganda.

I respect Spurlock for putting out an entertaining film. However, I do wish that he had put out a more thorough message which would have exposed all of the "dirty players in the game." But I guess I have to be satisfied with the information that he put out, and I am satisfied with what he put out. I just hope that sometime in the future he expands on "Super Size Me" with more thorough research, investigation, and information.

The fishbowl that I mentioned above was one of the prizes offered on the infamous series finale of the late 1970s version of High Rollers. I say "infamous" because it is rumored that Alex Trebek was either drunk or high while making said series finale. Among the zany things Alex said in this episode was "Stayin' alive with the Bee Gees" (most likely referring to a good roll of the dice), "Many moon come...a niner" (most likely referring to a roll of 9 on the dice), "We're gonna add something to it...fish" (referring to the fishbowl), "You lost the fishbowl" (once again referring to the fishbowl), and the classic "Seven-ahhh!!!" (most likely referring to a roll of 7 on the dice).

Overall the show itself was pretty good, but the series finale gives it a kind of cult status.

There were not many RPGs or Action RPGs available for the Game Boy, but what RPGs there were on the Game Boy are some of the best available for the system. Seiken Densetsu was the first in the "Tree Of Mana" series by SquareSoft, and it is one of the best games available for ANY system. This game has a similar playing style to the NES, SNES, and Game Boy "Legend Of Zelda" series. The graphics in this game, although monochrome (since this was released during the days of the original monochrome Game Boy), are beautiful. Nobue Uematsu, the composer of the music for the Final Fantasy series, doesn't let down in the music compartment...the music is downright beautiful considering how limiting the sound hardware of the Game Boy was. Controls are flawless. My only gripe is the difficulty of the "boss" characters...they're too easy to beat.
