Well, if my wife and I both had "what the bleep" I'd want to keep it a secret too.

The movie was entertaining in a fictional way. Someone said they liked the Doctor Quantum stuff and I liked it too. Except when they tried to imply that particles are sentient or whatever. I don't really know how to explain it. It's annoying people buy into that. It's filled with pseudoscience. But it has this appeal to it where, if you ignore all that and just watch it as you would the Matrix, it's kinda fun. Unfortunately, I've seen people take the Matrix literally and entertain it as a possibility.

The only educational setting I could see that movie being "taught" in any way would be religious studies or philosophy. Religious studies as long as it's taught objectively and not preferential over any other belief, and with philosophy go hog wild with it.
