Who Killed The Electric Car

Great movie, man. Went to the Long Beach art theatre with Art and Lanna last night to watch it. I havn’t seen an indie flick like this on the silverscreen in a while, it was nice to feel like I knew what I was doing for a night, haha. The movie was well done, and Martin Sheen did a good job at the narration, although anytime a movie is narrated now, I just close my eyes and picture Morgan Freedman saying the words and repeeting every fifth word of each 2 sentences 4 times with a dramatic pause. It makes the movie so much mroe enjoyable… Now I want to go home and watch March of the Penguins. heh.

Funny, I live in one of the most artsticly-driven cities in so.cal, but instead of just sitting on the corner of 4th and Junipero at Portfolio people watching with free Wi-Fi, I end up sitting on my ass at home touching up photos for 4 hours. I dunno, one of these day’s I’ll get a new laptop and enjoy this city a bit more. If i could just get myself to walk around and take more photos I’d be much happier, but then that wouldn’t make sense since I’d only be in my apartment to sleep and for a few hours on the weekend. I can’t justify paying that much in rent just to get home and not find a parking spot, only to sleep in the car 4 blocks away waiting for a spot to open. *sigh*

Maybe this was a sign I need a bike or a vespa? Hmmm, maybe.

i think you need to watch the movie buddy, it’s no lie. That is an amazing car. The guy I went to watch the movie with went to peterson automotive in LA today to check it out. They show the Telsa in the movie as well, but it’s about more then just the idea of the electric car, it’s the whole way our society embraces the movement.

hey, but you can’t beat 0-60 in 4ish seconds and 300MPG now can ya.

Dude seriously … your right tho I do need to see the movie… but its just sad. Until the oil companies can figure out how to turn a profit on us using electric… gas will stay… its just business… and believe me it sucks…

The funny thing that this movie shows is that the oil companies did see this (or at least GM I should say), but what made them recall all the EV1’s was the fact that they were making no short-term profit. They would have made long term profit, but we see where the prorities of the industry were.

you’ll like it. check it out man.
