I have no connection, fiduciary or otherwise, with either satellite t.v., cable, FX, or the producers of "Oil Storm".

It was a poorly written and acted soap opera.

Sounds stupid. The last time a hurricane came through the gulf last summer, a few rigs shut down for a few days. Even if they were all wiped out, we could open up the strategic reserve for a few weeks, while oil goes up to say 80 bucks a barrel. In the end, we would get all the oil we needed because we can afford to pay for it more than others can. Not an end of the world as we know it scenario.

It was a poorly written and acted soap opera. I'm sure we all eagerly awaited with baited breath your production of a better version. [/sarcasam]

It was a poorly written and acted soap opera. About as bad as the last over hyped docudrama, SuperVolcano.

The story was very interesting, but the actors, filming, etc was very, very, bad!
With the current way food stores handle inventory with the "Just in time" process, and inventories of many items being only about 3 - 4 days, the real crisis would be the food supply. Society would break down in about 10 days without a proper food supply.

As it turns out, it wasn't an end of the world scenario...but it did cause a lot of grief for a lot of people for about a year.
I'm sure that my brief description hardly did the film justice so I recommend you see it for yourself before making a judgement.

[/sarcasam] Are you suggesting that the only people who are allowed to offer an opinion are ones who have access to enough funding for a film as well as a movie production company? Do you limit your opinions to only though things you can do better personally?

You're saying if I can't lay an egg, I'm not allowed point out that one's rotten? Time to get real.
It was a poorly written and acted soap opera.

Ok, here's my judgement:
Giant crapfest.

I flipped to it a few times and tried to watch some of it. It was just too absurd to even imagine. And I saw the end where Russia and China save the day for the US. Talk about unreal. The plot was obviously thought up by people who believe in communist doctrine- And those who despise the USA. I found "The 4400" which was showing on the USA channel at the same time to be way more entertaining.

I could only watch a few minutes of it, looked like a typical liberal attack on big oil, not worth wasting my time.

Are you suggesting that the only people who are allowed to offer an opinion are ones who have access to enough funding for a film as well as a movie production company?You criticized the script and it takes neither vast funding or a production company to write a better version on your word processor.
Do you limit your opinions to only though things you can do better personally?
I try, although admittedly not always successfully ;-)

I saw more than enough of it. Much more.
Food, not oil. Give me a break.
By the way, where did all of those union truckers get their "oil"?

The proper adjective is, "Bated," not, "Baited."
Baited breath would be foul indeed!

You criticized the script and it takes neither vast funding or a production company to write a better version on your word processor. NO, I did not. The criticism was someone else's. I haven't seen the show, so I did not offer an opinion on it's script or production value.

I appreciate your honesty in admitting you're not always successful. I think when it comes to art (movies, paintings etc), one does not have to be an artist to have an opinion or even a valid opinion of it. In any case, I don't know if the person who was criticizing the show was accurate or not as I haven't seen the show, I just disagreed with the premise that one must be able to make a movie in order to offer an opinion.
