This is a bunch of rubbish. If this lady is so upset, why doesn’t she just leave so somebody els can move in and enjoy life here. Maybe this lady would rather live in LA or NYC and listen to gun shots and see all the killing and robberies going on.

When the Aussies learn about all of the swinging, and STDs, property values here will go even higher than their current trajectory.
If you think there are a lot of injuries in pickleball and softball, wait until you try Australian Rules Football.

But they are friendly.

What a load of Poppycock.
 

Just an opportunistic wanna-be film maker trying to make a stink for headlines. "Misplaced communities where people used to gather"??? The Villages built over them? Not that facts matter to those ignorant blowhards.

:clap2::clap2:

I'm an Aussie and I'm here (although I've lived in Canada for 50+ years!)

The "creator" of the film is Valerie Blankenbyl is from Vienna, Austria, The film is being shown at an Australian film festival not made there. Obviously she didn't do enough research before making this "film" and the misrepresentation that she puts fourth is laughable.

I'm not missing all the murder in Atlanta, Seattle, Wash D.C., etc that I've come across in my life so far.

When they talk about our perfect bubble I wish they would mention how we support the outside community!

The promo is creepy, parts of it were not even filmed in TV or were staged. The tone is disgusting and bears no resemblance to reality. Another filmmaker making stuff up to make money.
Stupid.

But no mention of Swinger Clubs, STD's and MAGA rallys? :)

When this was first released in May, I posted my comments https://www.talkofthevillages.com/fo...ml#post1943028

Having now watched it fully 2 more times since it came out and trying again to watch it just now in order to be objective in my comments and critique the best I can say of it is that it is pure biased trash, and my first critique was overly generous in praise.

For those of us who live here and try to enjoy our life in our "golden years" and make the best of what our community has to offer, this film is a major insult to our dignity and integrity.

Yes, there will be those that live here that swear that every word of this film is the gospel truth and an objective representation of The Villages. To those of you that feel this way I have but one question: Why are you still here? The housing market is on fire, sell now while the money is good and leave this bastion of debauchery, it is only going to get worse for you! Nobody will stop you or begrudge you for the profit you will make. Please feel free to go someplace that will make you happy.

Is The Villages perfect? Not hardly, it and we have our flaws and difficulties. Most of us will try to make the best of it and enjoy what it has to offer, anything else is simply a disservice to one's own self.

Those of you who know me, have read my writings in the past, have watched my YouTube Videos and have seen my position on items that come before the CDD board and PWAC know that I am neither friend nor foe of the developer and am unafraid to stand up for the facts and truth, if it's good I'll gladly say so, and if it's bad I strive to make that even more clear.

Of course, there are some out there that think me nothing more than a lackey for the developer that has drank the cool aid. So be it, I'll never convince you elsewise. To you, I'll raise my cup and proudly reprise those famous words of Chip Diller "Thank You, Sir! May I Have Another?".

Hit pieces rarely mention the positives... :1rotfl:
