Woman who introduces this typ. 1 hr. screening of independent films - came up with similar content a couple months ago:

She's in a tent and the camera is Right in her Face (distorted and all) She's whispering..

Hollywood is making such Bad films.. and spending SO Much money on them! But relax - here you can see, in your very own living room - samples of independent filmakers' work..

Shhhh! OmiGawd...
I think I hear.. [forgotten name of another producer of latest expen$ive fizzle] and Ron Howard! - RIGHT OUTSIDE.

... I'm so Scared...


Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle.. Cackle..

Anyway - kinda sez it all, with style - and in about 60 seconds.
(and there are still people who imagine that Corporate... does it [anything!] Better than [that tired whipping boy] Govmint ?!) It is to laugh. Let 'em cry.

Let the Networks cry too, as their insipid offerings are bested - on the web - by young folk doing their Own reporting, as at IMC: Independent Media Center -- heard today on NPR. Gotta check it out.

Cheers,

Ashton

PS - remember.. that Vast Wasteland was coined by Newton Minow.. in THE FIFTIES! - to describe That time's pabulum. T'aint nothin new - that we get fed a steady diet of McShit. The CD-situation is just an extension.
