For 69 Cents, Make It Bacon

A little more info on Super Size Me :

• Morgan Spurlock has his own weblog
• The Super Size Me website now has a flash game called “Burger Man”. It’s Pac Man, but with Morgan Spurlock eating burgers.
• Morgan mentions on his weblog that people are reporting applause at the end of his film. I can attest that both times I saw it, there was applause at the Avon Cinema.

Rotten Tomatoes currently puts Super Size Me at #10 in the box office. It’s pulling in $6.6k per theater. It’s in only 148 theaters. Troy (the #2 film) is in over 3,400 theaters and is pulling in about $7k per theater. Cool!

Is it me, or is there a lot of interest in documentary film-making these days? Is interest in documentary film on the rise? Folks like Michael Moore and Morgan Spurlock are getting their names in the paper. Can some sort of documentary production or activist film-making become the brainy cousin of reality TV?
