"Hillary Camp Predicts 'MAD AS HELL' Speech ...
... Will Sink 'Network' Film"

"That scene is going to offend audiences everywhere," said one Hillary campaigner. "No way this movie survives."

"It'll play in a few cities for a few weeks," said another. "But when people start leaving the theaters in droves after the Beale character does his mad-as-hell diatribe, this baby will be shut down quick and fast-tracked to video."

"The producers of this disaster just kissed Oscar goodbye," said another bitter campaign worker. "No way any hard-working American is going to agree that he's been shafted, and shouldn't take it any more."

There you have it - two thumbs way down :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: from the people who keep losing backers of their own sad, cliche-ridden short film.

14. I would like nothing more, than to sit about my absentia posting such drivel from my sofa...
Edited on Sat Apr-12-08 01:17 AM by bridgit
My kitchen table, the seat of my toilet for that matter. My husband/my mate (soul or otherwise) resplendent in flowing curls from the 60's. My kitchen table peace laden by the will of others elsewhere still; at the end of my already busy-busy day, again, elsewhere to be sure...what a joy it must be to *not* have to stand in so contentious a line as are seen here...

in America The Beautiful :patriot:


edited for the 'of', cause you gotta have the 'of' ;)

19. Hillary's Camp plays the Part of "Jensen" in this speech........
Jensen: You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Mr. Beale, and I won't have it!! Is that clear?! You think you've merely stopped a business deal. That is not the case. The Arabs have taken billions of dollars out of this country, and now they must put it back! It is ebb and flow, tidal gravity! It is ecological balance!

You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations. There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no third worlds. There is no West. There is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multi-national dominion of dollars. Petro-dollars, electro-dollars, multi-dollars, Reichmarks, rins, rubles, pounds, and shekels.

It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today. That is the atomic and subatomic and galactic structure of things today! And YOU have meddled with the primal forces of nature, and YOU WILL ATONE!

Am I getting through to you, Mr. Beale?

You get up on your little twenty-one inch screen and howl about America and democracy. There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM and ITT and AT&T and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today.

What do you think the Russians talk about in their councils of state -- Karl Marx? They get out their linear programming charts, statistical decision theories, minimax solutions, and compute the price-cost probabilities of their transactions and investments, just like we do.

We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies, Mr. Beale. The world is a college of corporations, inexorably determined by the immutable bylaws of business. The world is a business, Mr. Beale. It has been since man crawled out of the slime. And our children will live, Mr. Beale, to see that perfect world in which there's no war or famine, oppression or brutality -- one vast and ecumenical holding company, for whom all men will work to serve a common profit, in which all men will hold a share of stock, all necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused.

And I have chosen you, Mr. Beale, to preach this evangel.

Beale: But why me?

Jensen: Because you're on television, dummy. Sixty million people watch you every night of the week, Monday through Friday.
