With this whole economic crisis on Wall Street and the Feds trying to bail us out, I told my husband this evening, "What if there was a telethon so we could raise money for America and we could save our own country, could that help?" He responded by saying, "You know, there's an actual movie about that with John Ritter and San Diego gets sold to Mexico." Here I thought I was coming up with an original idea and clever idea someone beat me to it. I am on a mission to find/buy this movie and watch ...

President Carter blamed America for being under a "great malaise" and interest rates hit 20%. To a lot of people the future depicted in "Americathon" wasn't all that ...

I thought that it was weird, dumb sometimes, but with a wicked sense of humor that I appreciated. This film was made back in 1979, and the plot is set in 1998. Well, right now we're in 2001, on the heels of the most catastrophic terrorist attack in this country since Pearl Harbor, on the verge of a deep recession, and we are running out of money--fast. Tonight, we're having the kind of star-studded telethon that took place in this movie. ...
