Thanks, that was fascinating. It was beautifully filmed, the 'transported while listening' montage reminded me of sophia coppola's lost in translation, but good. The subject matter took on a Christopher Guest like mockumentary tone on its own, so I'd imagine he could have a ball with this sect. Beyond humor, the psychology behind it all is fascinating. Did you see them squirm when asked the total cost? Reminds me of a time as a kid when my dad bought a 4 head hi fi VCR, and told me not to tell mom how much it cost. That VCR left a huge impression on me, so now I am the type of audiophile who wants to achieve better sound than masses, but with limited expense. I don't want to have to fib about component prices to hide my dysfunctional behavior. When the factor of time spent was added, however, the cost was multiplied exponentially. Did you see the poor guy's daughter? She looked like she wanted to cry! Not due to monetary investment alone, i'd imagine, but probably due to the amount of time he spends with technology rather than her. In this context, my system is much more costly.
