Today The Stranger suggests:

‘Who Killed the Electric Car?’ (FILM) So, Annie Wagner, did you like the movie? “Yes.” Why? “Well, there are these annoying people who owned this electric car, the EV1. Rich people, like Mel Gibson, and eager activists who want them back. See, GM rolled out the cars to great fanfare and then it took them back and said it wanted to squish them.” Squish them? “GM didn’t say ‘squish.’ It said ‘we’re going to put them in this parking lot.’” Wait, why did GM recall the cars? “Well, that’s what the movie’s about.” (Seven Gables and Uptown, see Movie Times for details.)

Um, yeah. I do recommend Who Killed the Electric Car?, and contrary to the tone of the above item, you don’t have to be a four-year-old to like it.
