"Whatever the reason was, it's still unknown and nobody has any knowledge of what happened to the residents of that rural village." In fact, nobody has any knowledge if the unnamed village ever existed. There. I fixed it for you .Considering the source, Mysterious Universe, a website devoted to all sorts of new age claptrap, I would be very surprised if the whole story was not completely made up.

Hey, cool! I knew the Cisco Kid, man. The Cisco Kid was a friend of mine.He drank whiskey, Poncho drank the wine. True story, man . . . We met down on the Fort of Rio Grande, We ate salted peanuts out of the can. The outlaws had us pinned down at the fort Cisco came in blastin', drinkin' port. We rode into the sunset on horses made of steel and we chased gringo rustlers through the fields. Yep, The Cisco Kid, he was a friend of mine.

Switching from Murrican to Communist measurement is a gradual process. First the French had to infiltrate, then the British had to be turned away from the light. What ever happened to Pounds Shillings and Pence? Undermined by the EU!. Its all a plot by the New World Order Like the old saying goes: Give them a centimeter, and they'll take a kilometer.

"Karen Swallow Prior is Professor of English at Liberty University and a research fellow with the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention"
Liberty University is a private evangelical Christian university in Lynchburg, Virginia. It was founded by Jerry Falwell. Its "Science" Department teaches Creationism.
I'll bet her opinion was not based on reliable science and/or objective facts.

The title told me pretty much everything I needed to know. Any time someone uses "Mainstream" and promises to expose "lies" I can be pretty sure the author has cherry-picked claims to support a preconceived position.
The same holds true with articles using terms like "big pharma."
Most are a short hop to conspiracy claims and new age claptrap.

The whole section on gluten, for example, indicates eating grains is unnatural for humans. "The idea that humans should be basing their diets on grains has never made sense." Tell that to our stone age ancestors who survived quite nicely on grains and seeds. Civilization has survived and thrived thanks to the Agricultural Revolution a few thousand years back.
And " Grains are relatively low in nutrients compared to other real foods like vegetables. The gluten grains in particular may lead to a variety of health problems." Less than 1% of the population has a problem with the latest fad allergy, gluten.

I remember seeing it on TV and loving it. But back then, I was a junior in high school and what passed for irreverent comedy was in. I've had fond recollections for this movie. Watching it in its entirety for the first time since 1972 was a real eye opener. It really was a pretty lame TV movie. John Astin and Dick Shawn always a treat to watch. However, the rest of the cast seemed to be there only because they used to be famous (Rooney & Berle) or were trendy (Gibson & DeLuise). There were some funny moments, however, Evil Roy Slade is nowhere near as funny as I remembered it.

OMG! Is Gilliam trying to redefine Quixotic? I thought that project ended when he released Lost in LaMancha in 2002.
Why the one night release? My best guess is that has something to do with having to show the movie for legal reasons. If he does not release the movie, he may be eyeballs deep in debt for the next century. The movie may not be allowed release on DVD/Blu-ray or streaming sites without a theatrical release.
Hopefully someone will show up and it will make more money than Zyzzyx Road.
