“Network” (1976)

Program Director: Take 2, cue Howard.

Beale: I don’t have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It’s a depression. Everybody’s out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel’s worth; banks are going bust; shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter; punks are running wild in the street, and there’s nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there’s no end to it.

We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat. And we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that’s the way it’s supposed to be!

We all know things are bad — worse than bad — they’re crazy.

It’s like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don’t go out any more. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we’re living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, “Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials, and I won’t say anything. Just leave us alone.”

Well, I’m not going to leave you alone.

I want you to get mad!

I don’t want you to protest. I don’t want you to riot. I don’t want you to write to your Congressman, because I wouldn’t know what to tell you to write. I don’t know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street.

All I know is that first, you’ve got to get mad.

You’ve gotta say, “I’m a human being, goddammit! My life has value!”

So, I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window, open it, and stick your head out and yell,

“I’m as mad as hell,

and I’m not going to take this anymore!!”

Prada Marfa neighbors

Greetings from The Highway!

Driving along US 90 in West Texas this year near the Prada Marfa store, I came across this on the Marfa-Van Horn section of the highway.

It is a “Tethered Radar Balloon” that I was wondering might be part of the Blue Origin Rocket Base, 100 miles or so North of there.

I did not notice this last year and being so close to the road, I would not have missed it.

It was visible for many miles and

I don’t think it was traffic control for the Parade Marfa Store,

which was about 10-15 miles down the road.

Not sure if this is similar to what “Creating News Now” (CNN) is reporting over Montana.

“Anderson, The Sky Is Falling, The Sky Is Falling” or “The Russians Are Coming! The Russians Are Coming!’

Lookout, that Green Comet might be “The Blob” (1958) about to strike Earth!!! 

I think we all need to watch the 1976 movie classic, “Network” and the 2020 docudrama, “The Social Dilemma” and then ask ourselves how manipulated we’ve become. Honestly, I’m not sure if truth exists anymore…at least in media.

But older Americans should know that there are many practical measures they can take to avoid any falling injuries while still enjoying the physical benefits of being outdoors in summer.

Former dancer Amanda Rees draws on her extensive background in ballet, yoga and tai chi in order to develop a unique personalized, science-based program that can help reduce falls risks. The Bold Program includes customized researched-based exercises designed to improve balance, flexibility, and strength. The program is proven to reduce the incidence of falls by 46% and the exercises can all be done from the comfort of your home.

If you see someone

falling behind, walk

beside them.  If you

see someone being

ignored, find a way to

include them.  Always

remind people of

their worth.  One

small act could mean

the world to them.

Fall in love again, or for the first time, at the Actors’ Temple!
Our once beautiful “jewel of a shul”, is trying to keep its doors open. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, built in 1917, it is falling into terrible disrepair. If we do not renovate in the near future, we will lose this building. It is more than a building. It is our show business heritage. The stars who built this Temple paved the way for Jewish actors, dancers, comedians, directors, and producers to be taken seriously and to have careers in New York. If those old walls could talk, we would be screaming with laughter or crying our eyes out with the likes of Sophie Tucker, Edward G. Robinson, The Three Stooges, The Ritz Brothers, Marx Brothers, Milton Berle, Shelly Winters and sooooo many more. This is your history too!!! Please be with us. We cannot do this without you and your generosity.
