Bigger. Stronger. Faster.

First off...Netflix streamed through XBox is freaking awesome.

Has anyone else watched this?

I put it in my instant view que and watched it today. GREAT FLICK.

It's a documentary style movie about 3 brothers, all bodybuilders, 2 of which use steroids and the culture of America in general.

I highly recommend it. As I said..it's available for instant viewing through Netflix so you can literally watch it in about 2 seconds if you have a Netflix account.

Some very funny stuff in there on how hypocritical the American drug regulation and culture seems to be as far as steroids, amphetamines, etc.

Check it out.

You actually set it up through your Computer. The great thing is...I have a MAC and it doesn't matter. I just set up my que through Netflix.com and then go to my Xbox and all of my movies are there to watch.

There's a ton that are available for Instant View. I've got War, Inc. and The Orphanage to watch next.

Soooooo nice too. Don't have to drive to the video store, wait for a movie in the mail. Just click and watch.

Re: Bigger. Stronger. Faster.

I'm about half way through, and the guy equating anabolic steroids to Sudafed is about as ridiculous of a claim as I've heard.

Ephedrine is a stimulant, but you wouldn't take Sudafed in an athletic capability. I mean, if the US was sponsoring Carl Lewis' amphetamine habit, I'm sure we could have given him real amphetamines.

The best comparison I can make would be a fully grown adult washing his face with an alcoholic face wash, and someone saying that he was trying to get drunk. Sudafed wakes you up, but it's not a big amphetamine. Most likely, he was using it for being the best decongestant ever created.

I would also recommend this movie. It's one of those documentaries that should not bore anyone familiar with American culture.

Re: Bigger. Stronger. Faster.

I finished watching it. It definitely isn't boring, and I do like the multiple viewpoints and would highly recommend it.

I think the best part was focusing on the other "performance enhancers", as IMO, legal amphetamines and benzos are the biggest threats to America.

Overall, some of the comparisons were varying degrees of misleading and they brushed off the negative effects by people who's livelihoods depend on steroids. I think they go a little hard on Arnold. I mean, I've done some things I'm definitely not proud of, but I have learned from my mistakes, and try to help my brother and his peers not repeat my mistakes. If nothing else, Arnold's steroid use should be given a pass because it's a better story.

For me, my personal experiences with steroids have too much impact for a movie to change my mind on the subject, but I thought it was a very good documentary. I'd recommend watching it, but like all documentaries, it's only one side.

Arnold's steroid use should be considered a pass because he did it during a time in which steroids were legal.
