PLANET OF THE HUMANS Michael Moore Doc
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor I’m going to watch PLANET OF THE HUMANS this week, haven’t had a chance yet, but when I heard about the censorship of Youtube yanking it over purported copyright infringement I decided to post the version uploaded to Vimeo in support of Free Speech. Update: as of June 5, 2020 the documentary is once again posted to YouTube Planet of the Humans is a 2019 Michael Moore American environmental documentary film written, directed, and produced with Jeff Gibbs.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (Vintage)
If only the movie stayed in this world, it would remain a charming story, but instead it veers off into a make-believe fantasy involving a despotic, childish, Trump-like King of Bavaria (Gert Fröbe) , who hates and captures children, and takes whatever he fancies, in this case, the Caractacus refurbished race car now named Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
