May 19 2006Fast Food Nation Trailer
Writer/Director Richard Linklater has taken the popular non-fiction book by Eric Schlosser, Fast Food Nation, and somehow transformed it into a fictional narrative starring Patricia Arquette, Luis Guzman, Ethan Hawke, Greg Kinnear, and others. To see how, check out the trailer above. After reading the book, hearing its criticisms of the fast food industry, I was driven to give-up McDonald's. We'll see if the film is dramatic enough to ween me off the rest, particularly my favorite, KFC, where my portions are controlled only by the number of buckets I'm able to purchase. I don't like it when anyone tells me how many chickens I can eat.
