"Today the world has lost a true creative genius and a special man," the filmmaker's brother said in a statement. "I am so proud to have worked together with him."
Damn, I liked his documentaries. Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with the premise behind Super Size Me, he was excellent at his craft. And he seemed like a good guy.
Spurlock’s film follows a 30-day period from February 1 to March 2, 2003, during which he claimed to only consume McDonald’s food, although he later disclosed he was also drinking heavily.
He also talks about how he was vegan early in the documentary, not long before the iconic ‘getting a burger for the first time and throwing up in the parking lot’ scene.
I always attributed that to the obvious “his vegan body can’t handle eating all that meat at once” explanation, but him being an alcoholic would also explain that
Exactly. I prefer documentaries from people who don’t go out of their way to lie to make a point. He’s right on par with that Disney documentary that threw a bunch of lemmings off a cliff

A doctor commented on how alarming it was that he suffered liver damage from the project - it was on a level they only saw in people drining heavily.

They did what now?
The whole ‘lemmings running off a cliff’ thing is total bullshit. It came from a Disney documentary and they chucked/chased them off the cliff.
