From reading the penny arcade blog about it and watching the trailer, it seems to be an arthouse movie that just happens to be made by the most famous people on earth. You might love it or hate it but most people just won't get it either way

Yeah, but does their government convert 1.5 trillion dollars a year in public monies and national debt into defense industry and health insurance industry profits, providing incredible value for shareholders?!

Just build a road one mile wide between and directly through the middle of every urban center so suburbanites have an easier time getting where they're going. This is so easy I should be a road planner

Sort of like pheromones.
