"No matter how fine Paine's intentions, he can't obscure the fact that "Who Killed the Electric Car?" is, at the end of the day, the tragic tale of a bunch of rich people whining because somebody took their trendy toys away."- Daniel Feinberg, on Zap2It. I watched this the other day and found it interesting, but yea, I see his point: the group of electric car-lovers consisted of a group, larging studded with D-list celebs, that very much resembled a cult. Sort of like Scientology.
My favorite part? Mel Gibson's participation, specifically when he says, of the demise of the cars, "you really have to wonder who's pulling the strings." I don't know how any saw that in the theater without audibly blurting out "The Jews!"
UPDATE: Apparently, the car has been un-killed.
Posted by Stephen Silver at January 6, 2007 07:28 PMI must have been living under a rock because I didn't realize electric cars were even an option until I saw that film.
Then again, I live in DC and don't own a car, so that disqualifies me from keeping up with "auto trends."
