(full film) Totally overwrought self tribute to Reynolds gives up everything, and I mean EVERYTHING that Aluminum can be churned into. Bars! Wire! Cars! Aluminum foil! The list goes on and on (and on). The first half of the second part is the best though, as it explores packaging, and some great examples of 60's food products are shown. Also great, it's incorperation into fashion. The stop motion effects are also worth noting, but the rest is just too much. "And this is not the end" will surely bring a groan.
