Fantastic Mr Fox

It's not as though you Yanks have no imagination or talented writers. I mean, I'm sure sometimes the Europeans tease you as a bunch of warmongering anti-intellectual undercivilized idiots from time to time, but they don't always *mean* it, really, and if you only made better use of your homegrown products... Why must you steal Roald Dahl from the UK(/Norway)? Are Americans so stupid they must rip up and transplant every bit of literature to their personal culture before they can even hope to comprehend it? I'm sorry, one of the two people reading this might be American, I shouldn't group you all together, it's wrong. But what an incredibly stupid decision made by these American movie producers, to take that book and fling in baseball, middle school drama, hackneyed psychological tropes of finding oneself and/or one's self-esteem, cutsey and inconsistent anthropomorphism, not a trace of cleverness... Utter waste of Meryl Streep's talent. The plot is not clever . The closest it comes is drugged blueberries (which I assume come from the book--a similar device is used in Danny The Champion of the World ); subsequently, Mr. Fox et al win by flinging flaming pinecones around, digging unfunny after the first extended scene, martial arts (gah!), vulpine baseball (GAH!), and speedy little electric cars rather than cunning. In a longer format, not a bit of the cleverness of the book comes with something so dragged out and obvious. There is school drama. Bratty and clumsy little Ash Fox is jealous of his emotionally broken saintly albino martial artist cousin Kristofferson. Kristofferson starts dating a young vixen in Ash's school class. Kristofferson is more gifted than Ash at...*that* *Yankee* *game*. Ash has to be told and finally comprehend that he is special too . ( Everyone is special . In The Incredibles , given the line, 'If everyone is special, no-one is', I wanted to respond with the standard, 'Everyone...
How good are electric cars compared to normal ones? How do they work exactly?
I'm 17, I'll get a car soon, I'm just wondering how electric cars stack up next to a regular car...pros and cons?
Electric cars come in hybrid and pure-electric forms. Hybrids use gas engines in combination with electric motors, and may or may not have to be plugged in. Pure electric cars need to be plugged in, and the time it takes varies.
This explains the variation in charge times: http://www.plug-in.com/charge-times-how- long-to-fill-your-battery/
If you only plan on driving your car short distances between recharges, then an electric car will save you money in the long-run. However, since you're young and might want to take road trips or travel to college, you might want to wait until prices for electric cars go down.
Performance-wise, they can be pretty equal if you are willing to pay the right price. The available options are less, however, and you should put a little time into researching a car before you buy it. I'm sure you already know to be safe once you get your car. Congrats and Good luck!
