What's this movie, "Oil Storm" they're advertising on FX?

[Catch22Dem]

It looks good. It's on tonight. I set my DVR to record it.

1. Looks like some kinda Peak Oil meets Godzilla thing

I'll watch it. But I'll watch anything. :)

[Catch22Dem]

2. Yeah, same here

I'm not picky.

3. Yahoo TV says:

"Documentary-style footage reveals the aftermath of disastrous events that disrupt the flow of oil to the United States."

A leadup to Peak Oil?

[Catch22Dem]

4. They trailers they're running lead in with "It's already begun..."

Then they talk about events that disrupt the bloodline to America. Looks pretty interesting. Wonder if it will AT LEAST make some people thing. I doubt it, they'll watch it mindlessly, then mindlessly get in their fucking Excursions and Yukons and shit.

7. Yeah, until gas is 5 bucks a gallon and thier jobs moved to China.

Thats what its going to take to wake most people up.

5. Looks like old Rupert is trying to give PNAC some ideas for terra attacks

Anything for ratings.

6. What time?

We were going to watch "The 4400", but we have DVR as well.

I have no proof and no evidence whatsoever to back me up, but I just get this creepy ambient feel that peak oil happened 5-6 years ago, and it's just now filtering up to the surface of the collective attention span. :scared:

10. Reminds me of

The FX docu-drama about the release of smallpox in the U.S. and it's transmittal to other nations. What I found really interesting about that one was their use of real scientists and experts on the subject; I remember seeing the former head of the Soviet Union's chemical weapons program talking about the "epidemic."
