I saw The Corporation (trailer) during its premiere weekend at the Castro last weekend. Great documentary about the rise and domination of the corporation as a global force over the past century. It's here at the Castro for another two weeks (schedule), and probably coming to your major metropolitan area sometime over the next few months. I don't want to compare it to a Michael Moore flick, because this is much more measured and careful and less "in your face," but it's the same vibe.
And Mike Daisey is doing a run of 21 Dog Years at the Berkeley rep theater in downtown Berkeley. It's a one-man show about his years spent as an Amazon.com call center operator in the late nineties. The book is hilarious, and the show will be worth it. If you're within striking distance of downtown Berkeley, it's totally worth the trip!

Thanks, Ethan--if you come by the show, say hello afterwards.
