No Vacancy, The Movie

Hokey smoke. I just finished watching this loaded film on PBS:

The World Is Ending

50% of this film is about world population problems. The points made seem to make sense in the parts of the film that address that. But then the other half fell deep into a Liberal almalgam of over used quips and political opinions, most of which are purely there to outright bash America. During the credits, the host says "I think I'm going to move to France".

Man, there were a TON of "experts" in this film (most of whom surely spent a lot of time in the Haight during the 60s) all discussing how the USA consumes too much. How if you go out to eat, you've already spent more than most people in other countries make in a year. How it was up to the "unelightened" people in our government to solve a list of Liberal causes, a list so long and mentioned all at once that I just started laughing.

When it was over I felt the makers of this film either got side tracked or purposely started a film meant to talk about population growth issues, but then started having too much fun showing how enlightened they were and how stupid everyone in the USA is.

Take a few moments to view the bios of the people involved in the film. That will give you a good idea of what the film is like.

You gotta admit, France really does have it together.

I wish these people would make good with their threats and do it already. Didn't Robert Redford say he was going to move out of this country if Bush stole, I mean, won re-election?
