just got done with this one, and i liked it a lot.
the interviews are especially great:

>You know, PR is dealing with all the things that we deal with every day in our private lives, but on a much larger level. I mean, there is a certain beauty to it. It’s reflective of what we all do each day. We do something wrong and we try to explain it. We get drunk and we act badly; we have a fight and we use abusive language. Well, [Company X] got drunk, drunk with money and power and abused its employees and then covered it up. That’s a terrible thing, but it’s not all that different from what we all do. I think that what people don’t like about PR is that we remind them of themselves, on a grand scale, on a large screen where they can see all the ploys they use to manipulate others in the little dramas of their own lives. They see all the duplicity and all the storytelling of their own lives writ large. It makes them very uncomfortable because we remind them of themselves.
