Featured review
Work That Mouth
This educational short is just about what you'd expect; a speech about speaking. We're told not to mumble, but to speak clearly, loudly, and by golly, be interesting and use low tones. Of course, these days it would be much simpler to just play a tape of anything said by Gilbert Gottfried, Roseanne Barr, or Bobcat Goldthwait and just instruct the students to NOT sound like that.
At under 10 minutes long, I was still starting to doze off when the narrator said, "...and use plenty of lip and tongue action." I came to attention thinking I had rolled over into another type of instructional video, but alas, this thing was made in 1950, and he was still just talking about talking.
I didn't get a lot out of this thing, but it's an educational short. Has anyone ever actually learned anything from one of these films?
