I don't do movie reviews here often but here's mine for the J.J. Abrams monster film "Cloverfield":
Fucking Brilliant.

re: $2500 Car - Evil or Devine?
An India car manufacturer unveiled the world's cheapest car. The "Ta Ta" priced at just $2500
Evil or Devine? That depends on who you are asking.
Now, if you've traveled to Europe, you see these bubble cars running around all over. Okay, fine, all well and good. Well, this is super! No, not really for some. The environmentalist wackos are absolutely livid. "Environmental critics have said that the car will lead to mounting air and pollution problems on India's already clogged roads. But Tata said the car had passed emission standards..."
This is not the point! The point is, here is a car that might help the Third World move into the Twenty-First Century by getting the horse and buggy or the donkey or the mule out of their lives; expanding their ability to go places and transport things. It has no air-conditioning; it's 2,500 bucks, probably a thousand miles to the gallon. And WHO is it that is denying the poor people of the world this tiny little technological advancement? It's the same environmentalist wackos who are spreading this global warming hoax on everybody else. It is they who deny the poor people of the world a chance to prosper and improve their lot in life, be it in India or anywhere else. Take this thing to sub-Saharan Africa, and you watch what happens. They will blow a gasket. So this idea that the liberals and the socialists of the world are all for the little guy, and that they want to improve the lot in life of the little guy, that's not what they want to do. They want to destroy prosperity for everybody. You never hear liberals talk about elevating people at the lower rungs of society. You only hear them talk about punishing people at the upper rungs, and here's a great example.
This car is a joke for most of us, but for certain people in the world, it would be one of the most amazing steps up in their lives ever: the improvement in their lives, the quality of their lives, their ability to get places, transport things. BUT it runs on fossil fuels! Eek Ghad! the environmentalists will shriek. I can hear them now ..."That's right, it runs on fossil fuels, and we're trying to get rid of fossil fuels, and this is certainly insensitive of you not to understand." The truth is, that all the bleeding heart leftists, disguised here as people in the environmental movement who have all this understanding and compassion for the suffering of the poor and the destitute -- the hungry, the thirsty, the sick -- don't want them to improve their lives at all. They won't allow farming techniques in the Twenty-First Century nor will they allow any kind of technological advancement in these Third World countries. They want them to continue to live in maggot & insect-infested little swamps; pools of water with malaria all over the place - because they think that will save the planet, when it's killing the very people in Africa they claim are the ones who they have all the understanding for.
This little car from India -- and you'll have some liberals in this country buying it because it's a status symbol -- it's like wearing a ribbon: "I care." But they are denying this to the people of world who need it, or want to. Mark my words.

What so bad about Global Warming?
Stop, for a moment, and consider:
* people inhabit regions on Earth where temperatures regularly reach -40 °F to those where temperatures regularly exceed 120 °F. Our planet's critters inhabit even more extreme regions.
* people fly from sub-zero winters to Mediterranean or tropical holidays -- where they toast themselves in the sunshine. Birds and mammals migrate from polar to tropical regions and back again every year.
* people and animals we can surmise, can tolerate huge changes in temperature and generally seek warmth.
These things you can see and, if you can afford, probably do. Now, why are you frightened of the unfortunately slight possibility you won't have to spend so much keeping warm?
