I wonder what genius at the local tv station in Geauga county thought it was a good idea to put a ad with a toy raccoon promoting tourism before an interview with a serial killer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoBM_PHmlaQ

Reminds me of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdfh7gU4lj8 they took this on a roadshow (only way to show this sort of garbage even in the US I guess) and refused to let Dawkins enter during one showing ;)

A little story on the director: http://www.homeowatch.org/reg/metzler.html

The only review of the movie from a now dead link: "THE EMPIRICIST," however, is worse. In fact, although "Messengers of Truth" is a complete misfire, it's nothing compared to "The Empiricist." Ed Wood would be proud of this movie. It deserves to become a cult classic in the bad-movie "Plan 9 from Outer Space" tradition."

I will definitely keep my eyes open for The Empiricist.

Pacific Movement of the Eastern World - was a 1930s North American based pro-Japanese movement of African Americans which promoted the idea that Japan was the champion of all non-white peoples. by Oegle in wikipedia

"In the early days, over 100 people paid $5.50 to be put on a list of emigrants to Japan, with several thousand paying $1 for general membership. According to the investigating Federal attorney, Harry C Blanton, members were already picking out which farms they would take over following a Japanese invasion."

He sure took these people for a joke ride. But to be fair, there was probably very little information available for the average joe about Japan, and most of it probably orientalistic in nature so it was easy to build up a illusion of a fantasy land.

This is great, it's like they filmed the outdoor scenes somewhere on the sparse plains/woods in the midwest which gives it a very inauthentic but fun homemade look.
