    I saw “Experimenter” on dvd the other day.
    (thats the guy who did the obedience experiments
    we’ve discussed a few times)

    There’s a memorable scene or two, but even
    though the subject matter interests me a lot,
    and the movie was well-acted…i just dont
    think it was a particularly good movie.

    I just didnt think Stanley Milgram’s LIFE
    was interesting. His experiments were interesting.
    But not his life-story. There just wasn’t anything
    particularly interesting about his marriage
    or academic career etc.

    I do think the director was creative with
    the way the movie handles the boring nature
    of Milgrim’s life — they did a lot of cutesy
    things to pep the movie up — but in the end
    It wasnt all that interesting.

    Friend of mine, said radiolab had a segment
    on the Milgram experiment that looked
    at what the subjects actually said about
    what happened and it lead to some
    folks drawing different conclusions
    than Milgram drew….i aint listened yet
