Zeitgeist: The Movie
The stuff this covers and the way it's done is very convincing, I watched it saying 'ohhhh yeahhhh...' so many times, its very well made. I still don't know if any of it is true or not. I'd like to think that it is.

I. Just. Don't. Know. Anymore...

I watched it
I thought a lot of it was made up or unsourced, a lot of it was irrelevant to the stuff it was supposed to be supporting and a lot of it was total bollocks.

that's the thing though
as i'm watching it i'm thinking 'oh yeah, that makes sense' or 'never thought about it like that...', but then when I finished watching it I thought, 'well hang on, if all that WAS right, surely someone would've said something by now?', it does plant a small seed of doubt, but I can't say I've sleepless nights worrying about the design of the U.S dollar etc.

Skeptoid Podcast
Did an episode on this. Here's a link to a transcript of the episode.

very good article
if the zeitgeist had more solid fact, rather than suggestion, it might have an actual point. All it really does is suggest something vaguely coincidental (which might catch your attention) but then not fill it up with genuine fact. Much like the film 23 and how everything links to 23, if you look hard enough, similarities can be found in pretty much anything.

it's still an interesting film i think.
