I Want To Say One Word To You...
In this 2001 rumination, cultural visionary Douglas Coupland takes us on a wild, mind-blowing ride through the thrilling world of plastics. Fasten your seat belts. Coupland really digs plastics and who can blame him? But hey - it's not a nostalgia trip, all right? He may talk about his youth, the Disneyland of yesteryear, and seem enchanted by memories of a childhood steeped in a world of plastic wonders, but clearly he's got his sights fixed boldly on the future. Let's get that straight right now. And indeed it's all happening right now in this our fabulous "Kingdom of Contradiction." For we are the Lego children building a Lego world where plastic is an extension of our humanity, but plastic is not us. No. But perhaps it is our texture. Perhaps it is our future. Or... wait, is this the future..?
I couldn't get past the Voice Over Guy. Is that Harry Shearer? Goddamnit, my biggest dream is to someday be V.O.'d by Harry Shearer. I could die happy if I was V.O.'d by Harry Shearer.
Have I said too much?
