Independence Day (1996)
Joe McCarthy who???
Another triumph! A movie worth watching for two reasons. 1.We are reminded that Americans of African decent will continue to keep us safe.
2. Quoting the evil alien when one of the stars asks it what it wants, we find a striking resemblance to Republicans when it says "we want to consume all the natural resources on Earth without replenishing them. Then of course the evil 'alien' is dispatched in a glorious hail of gun fire.
I find this to be hilarious to a point nearly to a point of apoplexy.
Insight (1960)
AMAZING AND PURE PROPAGANDA
I was amazed to finally find some facts on this program that effected me as a teen. I had not realized that the program was 'Insight' and I always remembered the episode as 'The Rose Colored Glasses' but evidently was wrong all these years. Typing in Beau Bridges brought up the episode 'The Poker Game'!! And yep, that is/was it. Several older fellows playing poker with a younger man wearing rose colored glasses eventually become fed up with his radical views and decide he is a bit of a slacker representing the tangibility of the much talked about 'Generation Gap' of the time. In short a 'revolutionary/radical/hippy'. I think he was berated at one point as 'seeing life through rose colored glasses' which was not at all what the group of men considered acceptable, being members of the 'establishment'. I believe the show certainly helped inspire a generation (along with "Easy Rider") to vote for Bill Clinton 24 years later. Thank you IMDB, and Mike, and Kenneth, for allowing me to touch this puzzle that has been on my mind all these years. [I sure would like to see the episode again, but I have no clue as to how to make that happen. Please write me if anyone has knowledge.] Thanx again. Greg.
