Thursday, New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg introduced a proposition that would limit the size of sodas sold at movie theaters and delis to 16 ounces. While most New Yorkers would probably agree that drinking vast quantities of soda isn't the best for your body, there has been some concern about the precedent that a soda ban would set. Namely, if the government can tell us how much soda to drink, what else can they control? So on Thursday night's 'Daily Show,' Jon Stewart weighed in with a segment he called 'Drink Differently.' It seems that while Stewart agrees that drinking less soda is a healthier behavior, he thinks that simply making the containers smaller isn't going to do a whole lot toward that cause.'It combines the draconian government overreach people love with the probable lack of results they expect!' Stewart joked.The cherry on the sundae, though, was when Stewart rolled a Fox News clip to support his claim and (gasp!) actually agreed with something a pundit was saying.'I agree with Tucker Carlson,' Stewart whined. 'I agree with Tucker Carlson, Tucker Carlson is right, and I will never forgive you for that, Michael Bloomberg.'Watch the full clip above.Also on HuffPost:

Jon Shenk's The Island President tells the story of President Mohamed Nasheed of the Maldives, a man confronting a problem greater than any other world leader has ever faced--the literal survival of his country and everyone in it. After bringing democracy to the Maldives after thirty years of despotic rule, Nasheed is now faced with an even greater challenge: as one of the most low-lying countries in the world, a rise of three feet in sea level would submerge the 1200 islands of the Maldives enough to make them uninhabitable. The Island President captures Nasheed's first year of office, culminating in his trip to the Copenhagen Climate Summit in 2009, where the film provides a rare glimpse of the political horse-trading that goes on at such a top-level global assembly. Nasheed is unusually candid about revealing his strategies--leveraging the Maldives' underdog position as a tiny country, harnessing the power of media, and overcoming deadlocks through an appeal to unity with other developing nations. When hope fades for a written accord to be signed, Nasheed makes a stirring speech which salvages an agreement. Despite the modest size of his country, Mohamed Nasheed has become one of the leading international voices for urgent action on climate change.

New interview with documentary filmmaker Jon Else.

The trailer for Soundtrack for a Revolution which debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival. A young black man sits politely at the 'whites only' counter in a diner as white men berate him, throw food at him, and eventually beat him. But when he hits the floor, another man takes his place at the counter. Watching this ghastly footage, captured during the bitter days of segregation, it seems impossible to imagine anyone willing to endure such senseless brutality. But pair images like this with soul-stirring folk songs like 'I'm Gonna Sit at the Welcome Table,' 'Keep Your Eyes on the Prize,' and 'We Shall Overcome,' and suddenly anything seems possible. Soundtrack for a Revolution tells the story of the American civil rights movement through the music that fortified protestors as they struggled for equality. Directors Dan Sturman and two-time Oscar winner Bill Guttentag (codirectors of Nanking, TFF '07) pair provocative vintage footage with emotional interviews with the men and women who endured the threats, the dogs, the night sticks, and the fire hoses, among them Georgia congressman John Lewis, Harry Belafonte, Coretta Scott King, and many more. But ultimately the filmmakers want the music to do the talking, so they've also gathered Wyclef Jean, Joss Stone, John Legend, TV on the Radio, the Roots, the Blind Boys of Alabama, and others to let loose on modern renditions of those timeless songs.

Trailer for What Happens Next. Billionaire/Socialite Paul Greco (Jon Lindstrom) seems to have it all. Or does he? Upon the sale of his lucrative business, his retirement, and more money and time than he knows what to do with, there are many sudden changes in his life. Starting with his overbearing (but well-meaning) sister Elise (Wendie Malick) who decides giving Paul a dog would be the perfect start. With little else to do, Paul assumes the daily dog walking routine in the park. There he encounters Andy Chance (Chris Murrah), a gay self-employed advertising whiz, who happens to walk his dog on the very same schedule. What starts as a casual daily meeting in the park, eventually develops into something a bit more questionable. Andy and Paul find themselves in a series of comedic situations in the give-and-take, of the differences in their personalities, upbringing, background and ages and, above all, the clarity of their undefined relationship. This gets even more complicated by the influential and overbearing women in both of their lives. Elise senses definite and curious changes in Pauls behavior and personality but becomes preoccupied about her own alternative lifestyle artist son, Brian (Ariel Shafir), with whom she has become seriously estranged. At the same time Andys adopted sister Roz (Natalia Cigliuti), a high-powered art gallery owner becomes overtly uncomfortable with Andy's fascination over Paul a straight philanthropist from an elite world of socialites and black-tie benefits.

Celebrating the life of Tupac Shakur, Tupac: Resurrection explores Shakur s life viscerally and dramatically through his own words and music, as well as through vivid images of the world as he experienced it. The film carefully mines video archives to expose the brilliant storyteller that Shakur was during interviews and in personal conversations throughout his life. In his own words, Shakur powerfully takes viewers with him throughout the happiness and the sadness of his childhood, through the ups and downs of his professional career, through his romances and his life-altering mistakes, and finally, through the lessons he has learned. Not merely a commemoration of his life and artistry, Tupac: Resurrection explores honestly and openly Shakur s many complexities. It examines the artist s gifts, passions and conflicts, and unravels the mystique of his life by looking at those who influenced him early on. An intimate portrait of a young man who rose from a life of adversity into a global icon who touched millions of lives, Tupac: Resurrection is the only film made in collaboration with Shakur s mother, former Black Panther Afeni Shakur. It is also the only film told entirely in his own words. Visually stunning, this inspirational life story features never-before-seen concert footage, private home movies and excerpts from Tupac s poetry and journals, all of which serve to create a very personal portrayal of a sensitive, passionate and often provocative artist who died before his time. In addition, the film features a soundtrack of Shakur s music, as well as all new music by The Notorious B.I.G., Eminem, Don McLean, Stevie Wonder, Elton John and Shakur himself, who currently ranks among the top 40 best-selling artists of all time, with more than 80 million records sold to date.
