About the Author

Chairman at MACDONALD BANK INC. Initial advisor to Getty Oil Company on Reserve Oil & Gas Company acquisition earning Getty shareholders over $4 Billion in profit. *********************************** I earned the Getty Oil Company shareholders Four Billion Bucks ... On the Reserve acquisition; the way they treat me ... it really sucks! As the Getty inheritors bask in glee; All I asked for was that they look after me. Four billion dollars they earned on Reserve ... My fee I surely deserve. It turns out J.P. Getty may have been a Nazi; His family even goes back to Germany .... With Hitler, GÖring & Goebbels he did stand; While trying to undermine the American land! For paintings & artifacts he did receive; With his oil he was able to deceive? Hoover & the FBI & Roosevelt they knew ... That J.P. Getty & espionage he drew! Many a young lad and Jew did die As planes dropped bombs from the sky. For years while Getty sat in Berlin He may have committed many a sin. The ashes and smoke from the chimneys it rose While old man Getty sat cozy ... he chose. With artwork held tightly under his arm Still dripping in blood ... as the real owner met harm. Into the ovens & on meat-hooks, bullets between the eyes ... Listen very carefully you can still hear their cries! While the Gettys sit in England; at their estate at Wormsley; And Gordon sings in San Francisco ... With his 727 in tow; The Getty museum sits atop Malibu; While the corpses of World War 2 scream ... "J.P. Getty ...We know you!"

Just this side of brilliant -- but brilliant nevertheless. We're interested because it's done so damn well -- the hilarity being that the words are burnt by someone who knows how to make words work. - ScottSiders Long Beach, California.

1.0 out of 5 stars Getty Got Chucked into my Garbage, November 22, 2009

This review is from: Getty (Paperback)

The film began with the camera poring over newspapers to a music track that overpowered the voiceover, such that I could not hear the script. After several minutes, I wonder what the point was.

Later the video was a series of repetitive graphic images, music and a voice over that I could sometimes hear. I turned to my son and pointed out that the graphics did not match the words at all.

This is the worst film I have ever seen, except for a few moments of uploaded stupidity on YouTube. I just wish DVDs were recyclable - I feel guilty for putting it into the garbage, but that's where it belongs.

The only solace I have is in knowing that the $1 it cost me went to a charity in a sale of used items.

Perhaps the other reviewer saw another film, because we could not have watched the same film.
