Category: Documentary
Description:
What would Jesus Buy. A GREAT film for everyone, not just the Christian folks. This film touches on many subjects, so don't let the title scare you away. Widescreen Some bonus features English 2-channel audio NO subs This is a 'newsgroup special' so don't whine if its not got all the bells and whistles you wish it had. Go buy it instead. Also, someone went to the trouble of putting up the Divx version so if this one is too slow try it instead of complaining about what I can't control (ISP speeds) If you like it, you should buy it anyways. I seed with full PG and Bluetack blocklists, and forced encryption, 1mb upload speed. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0939681/ What Would Jesus Buy? follows Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping Gospel Choir as they go on a cross-country mission to save Christmas from the Shopocalypse: the end of mankind from consumerism, over-consumption and the fires of eternal debt! From producer Morgan Spurlock (SUPER SIZE ME) and director Rob VanAlkemade comes a serious docu-comedy about the commercialization of Christmas. Bill Talen (aka Reverend Billy) was a lost idealist who hitchhiked to New York City only to find that Times Square was becoming a mall. Spurred on by the loss of his neighborhood and inspired by the sidewalk preachers around him, Bill bought a collar to match his white caterer's jacket, bleached his hair and became the Reverend Billy of the Church of Stop Shopping. Since 1999, Reverend Billy has gone from being a lone preacher with a portable pulpit preaching on subways, to the leader of a congregation and a movement whose numbers are well into the thousands. Through retail interventions, corporate exorcisms, and some good old-fashioned preaching, Reverend Billy reminds us that we have lost the true meaning of Christmas. What Would Jesus Buy? is a journey into the heart of America – from exorcising the demons at the Wal-Mart headquarters to taking over the center stage at the Mall of America and then ultimately heading to the Promised
