I'm glad I got the opportunity to see this...I've learned so much about what will happen to me.

[edit] Wow I had stupid comments 7 months ago too...

Is it weird to find this incredibly liberating?

What a relief! I was worried what I would do when I got all wrinkled, arthritic, deaf, blind & demented!

A dehydrated nihilist a-hole speaking with an authority not unlike that of the devout religious.

The only real answer to any claim of what will or won't happen at death is: "We'll see."

You won't see, because you will be dead. There will not be a you to see and be correct, because you will be gone.

This was actually pretty sweet. The ending part reminds me of Richard Dawkins' look on life. Treasure it, because this is the one you get.

Any idea who the narrator is? His voice is neat.

Who cares what his name is? Just like the rest of us, he's goin' to die. And that's ok...

I keep hearing his

saliva sounds, which makes listening a bit unbearable to me.

And the MGM lion is probably already dead..and so are most(?) of the actors in the film fragments..

Death is nothing to us, since when we are, death has not come, and when death has come, we are not

"Life is only good because death ends it"...

Wtf? That's relativism of the worst sort. I don't see the attraction at all. I wish I understood why people are drawn to relativism though.

I'm going with the unpopular minority, and agreeing with quantumushroom that this wasn't that great. The end helped it a little, as did the novelty of the lion being the narrator. It did not inspire me, or move me, but only bored me after the initial few seconds of amusement from the lion speaking wore off.
