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.

Soooooo if you can’t make it through all 400+ pages of Noam Chomsky’s “Manufacturing Consent” there IS a movie about it! I dare you to watch all 2hrs and 40 min of it. I will buy you a candy bar if you do. Then we can talk about why you chose that candy bar and who made you want it. Mmm. Sweet sweet media.
