Expelled

Tonight I went to see Expelled, a documentary by Ben Stein, the economist and Nixon speechwriter... who you probably know much better as the deadpan teacher in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. ("Anyone...? Anyone....?")



(Make sure to play the trailer all the way to the end... one of the best lines is in the last two seconds of the clip.)

It raises a lot of thought-provoking issues, and is actually really funny. Even if you don't agree with everything it says, it'll definitely be a conversation starter... which is one of the main points of the film: that this sort of stuff should be talked about, not ignored or suppressed.

Check it out.
