Who Killed the Electric Car... and Framed Roger Rabbit??

My lawyer friend Ray Dowd (who has an excellent blog on small firm law practice called SmallFirmLife), has reminded me that a movie that played this year's Sundance Festival and received excellent reviews in the NY Times and Grist, will be playing in film festivals in upcoming weeks, and opening more broadly in June.  It will be playing at the Tribecca Film Festival in New York next week. 

The movie's called "Who Killed the Electric Car" and it's about how the oil companies, auto companies and others killed the implementation of the electric car in California between 1990 and 2003. Hey, it sounds like some of the same culprits who killed the Los Angeles street car system to support the building of freeways that formed a part of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit." 

"Who Framed Roger Rabbit"?  "Who Killed the Electric Car"? Coincidence, or conspiracy theory?  I guess we'll need to see the movie to find out for sure.
