Jump To Comment: 1 2I thought surplus was a bit too flash, I guess it was a bit like an infomercial, maybe that was the point, I didn't totally get exact point the were trying to make with the Cuba footage, the footage of the Cubna girl exclaiming the glories of the Big Mac was funny but they didn't finish that off either...
Weapons of Mass Deception was good, it had a detailed overview of the media during the wars, and many good contributors
yeah I'll agree with that - surplus could have been something amazing, but I didnt like their use of continuous "repitition" of sound samples - John Zerzan or others ("Rice, Beans, Rice and Beans" etc) saying the same thing 5 times grated on my nerves - it was akin to an 80's style Max Headroom MTV music video at times. not enough "meat" in it at all - shame, considering the mental footage of the property damage by the Black Bloc in Genoa at the start - WITH THE SOUND OF GLASS BREAKING - very rarely do you actually hear the noise of that happening, it is always edited out by TV stations.
