This is Visioneers starring Zach Galifinakis. It’s a story about George Washington Winsterhammerman (Zach) trying not to have dreams – of any kind -  for fear he might explode. At least, that’s what the doctors are telling him. People are spontaneously combusting all around Mr. Washington as he fights to peel back the reality the Jeffers’ Corp has created to keep it’s employee’s productive, docile,  and alive.

You should watch the first few minutes here:

now go watch the rest on Netflix or Redbox, or one of the limited screenings popping up here and there in select cities.

You’ve all probably seen the American Beauty floating bag scene or the countless spoofs but if you can get block it out for about 18 min you’ll like this.

Werner Herzog narrates the life of a plastic bag. It’s anthropomorphic glory. Last line – priceless.
