Documentary vs Hollywood Flick for dates
 

Which of the two would you prefer? I think that the documentary will definately lead to better conversation. Whereas a typical hollywood blockbuster (with a few exceptions of course) will only lead to conversations such as "It was so awesome when Vin Dieasel jumped off that car and blew up that van with a rocket launcher", documentaries will lead to more interesting conversations.

Saw Supersize Me with my gf and we had a long interesting talk about how food culture had changed. We are watching Bowling for Columbine right now (we had to stop in the middle of the movie). It'll be interesting because she loves Moore and he's my second favorite movie maker (first being everyone else who's ever made a movie in the history of the cinema world).

How do you think documentaries rate up against regular typical movies?

I vote for well done Documentaries, but I love the History channel type stuff. But then again, I never get any dates so I wouldn't know :) :(.
I do want to see Moore's Supersize me and his new 9/11 movie.

Typical movies are crap nowdays. IMHO
I vote for well done documentaries.

whoa whoa whoa,

Back it up. As far as I know Moore had no involvment with Supersize Me. Morgan Spurlock was the man behind that one.

As for calling Moore's work a documentary, well I'd use the word pretty loosely.

I'd never thought about it before, but seeing a documentary on a date would probably lead to some good conversation.

Or at least make things interesting if you both have exactly opposite views. :D

That's for sure, Moores movies have had that exact effect with me and my future wife. She's a fan and I can't stand the guy. Always interesting discussions over his movies. ;)
