"I was edited in such a way as to completely suppress my actual views about the matters the movie discusses. I am, indeed, profoundly unsympathetic to attempts at linking quantum mechanics with consciousness. Moreover, I explained all that, at great length, on camera, to the producers of the film ... Had I known that I would have been so radically misrepresented in the movie, I would certainly not have agreed to be filmed."

—David Albert,"What the (Bleep) Were They Thinking?"

Tropes

• Achievements in Ignorance
• Bowdlerize: According to Word Of God, the "bleep" in the title is supposed to be "fuck".
• Censored Title
• Conspicuous CG: Not all the movie, but some effects, could easily qualify here.
• Did Not Do the Research: This one is all over the place, but just to give an example, the quantum physics don't work like they say in the movie (especially the Heisenberg uncertainty principle).
• Documentary Of Lies
• Down the Rabbit Hole: Lampshaded:
  "How far down the rabbit hole do you wanna go?"
• The Empath: Amanda, as part of her quantum adventure.
• It Runs on Nonsensoleum
• Lucky Charms Title
• Manipulative Editing
• Narrator: Ramtha, a mighty warrior-spirit from Atlantis (or Lemuria, not so sure) serves as our narrator.
• New Age: Apparently, the film was very well regarded by the New Age community.
• Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: Ramtha.
• Precision F-Strike: See Bowdlerize above.
• Propaganda Machine: The movie was made as a part of this.
• Quantum Mechanics Can Do Anything
• Quote Mine: See the comment above.
• Reading Lips: Amanda's way to understand other people, besides Hand Signals.
• Schmuck Bait
• Shameless Self Promoter: The whole thing was produced as a giant promo for J.Z. Knight's Ramtha cult; fittingly, it was produced by some students of Ramtha's School of Enlightenment.
• Unexplained Accent: Ramtha, although maybe that's the Lemurian/Atlantian accent.
• Viral Marketing
• Word Puree Title
