Something a little different. I just watched a documentary about John DeLorean, and his sports car. The story happened long ago, and I had forgotten the details, so I thought it would be interesting. DeLorean was actually a likable individual, and had a lot of good ideas. He bucked up against GM executives, all the time, so it was inevitable that he would leave and try and start a car company. It is worth watching, because it is a good story, and may be made into a movie some time in the future. The movie, "Back to the Future" renewed interest in the car, so it is still relevant. Alec Baldwin plays DeLorean in the documentary. As likable as DeLorean was (he passed away in 2005), his son is just horrible. It's obvious he disliked his father, and blamed him for his failures, but in the documentary, he uses the "F" word in every sentence. Not a polished individual. Could'nt take his personality after two minutes. Anyway, a film worth watching, and well done.
