--- Quote ---WHAT THE BLEEP DO WE KNOW?!
ELIZABETH WILSON, C&EN WEST COAST BUREAU
Some movies are so bad, they’re funny. “What the Bleep Do We Know,” a pseudoscientific docudrama that purports to link quantum mechanics and consciousness, would be a riot if people didn’t take it so seriously.

The film "What the Bleep?" has been discussed a bit in the Hyde Forum, as at least two former students have been involved in some fashion. One of them was and perhaps still is in some way involved with the film's public relations team. Another, his sister, uses material from the film in her comedy routines. Both siblings were involved with the Ramtha cult. Perhaps still are.
The film is used extensively as a propaganda tool. Most, if not all, of the key personnel are or were involved with the cult, a fact not made apparent in the marketing.
A number of the scientists quoted therein have complained that their comments, as aired in the film, were taken out of context from the original interviews. One in particular has stated that his premise was, in fact, the opposite of how it is construed in the film.
Rick Ross has some interesting material on the Ramtha cult; much of it pertains to this film. The so-called popularity of the film is almost entirely driven by devotees of the cult, who bombard film critics with info and flood a myriad of advertising milieu's, especially in the form of comments left for reviews, articles, etc., whenever and wherever the film is scheduled to be screened.

A lot of WWASP parents are pushing this book, right up there with Oprah.
If Oprah said it was good, then it must be.

So essentially what sort of bullshit does it attempt to convey?
