Former President Obama emphatically stated upon Trump’s election that Orange is NOT the new Black! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil1111 1,149 #6 January 7, 2021 trump's inspiration is all from FOX so here is something from Rupert Murdoch. Remarkable how similar it is to the trump clan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you ever see the movie "Fierce Creatures", in which Kevin Klein plays an Australian tycoon clearly modeled on Murdoch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't know who Murdoch was at that point. I'll have to dig it out and watch it again. It's been a while. Saw A Fish Called Wanda not too long ago.

One of the classic exchanges in film between two great actors. ================================= Otto: You said you loved him! Wanda: Right! Here's a question for you: A: Wanda was lying. B: Wanda was telling the truth. Which one are you gonna pick? Otto: Uh - What was the first one? Wanda: I'm setting up a guy who's important to us, who'll tell me where the loot is and if you'll be arrested, and you come loping in like Rambo and you dangle him out a fifth-floor window! Now, was that smart? Was it shrewd? Was it good tactics? Or was it . . . stupid?! Otto: Don't call me stupid. Wanda: Oh, right! To call you stupid would be an insult to stupid people! I've known sheep that could outwit you. I've worn dresses with higher IQs. But you think you're an intellectual, don't you, ape? Otto: Apes don't read philosophy. Wanda: Yes, they do, Otto. They just don't understand it. Wanda: Now let me correct you on a couple of things, OK? Aristotle was not Belgian. The central message of Buddhism is not every man for himself. The London Underground is not a political movement. Those are all mistakes. I looked 'em up. Now... you have just assaulted the one man who can keep you out of jail and make you rich. So what are you gonna do about it, huh? What would an intellectual do? What would PLATO do? Otto: Apol... Wanda: Pardon me? Otto: Apolo . . . Wanda: WHAT? Otto: Apologize! Wanda: Right! Otto: I'm sorry. Wanda: No. Not to me, to Archie. And make it good, or we're dead. Otto: (to Archie) Oh, I'm so very, very, very, very s...s.s.. FUCK YOU!
