...alternative is to consume less, have less, want less and work less. But if we did, we'd be the French. If you want to see how a culture is defined by its attitude toward the future, rent Luc Besson's The Fifth Element. Perhaps the worst sci-fi movie of all time, it was distinguished only by its outlandish costumes, designed by Jean Paul Gaultier. Give the French a chance to dream up the future, and the first thing they ask is, What will we wear? Americans, on the other hand, want to know what we will drive...

Hope lacked Groucho's surrealism, Fields' misanthropy, Chaplin's soul, not to mention that element of the grotesque they all shared. Dapper and a trifle distant in his suit and tie, he also lacked their patience in building and extending gag sequences. Typical American that he was, he always wanted the instant gratification of the big boff...
