| Scrooge: A Christmas Profile of
Courage |
| Has Ebinezer
Scrooge become the "Anti-Claus?" Is he a media trick to allow advertisers
to manipulate consumers into socially exceptable spending? Could it be that Scrooge
has become the guilt-by-association "Archie Bunker" icon of fear, forcing us to
spend or be smeared into submission? |
| They Live: A Tightwad Nightmare |
Did you ever get the sinking suspicion that a small percent of the
world has a secret.. and YOU aren't included. The rich get richer and the poor get
poorer. Could this all be a massive consumer conspiracy? They Live is
sci-fi adventure movie that has reached "cult" status. One of the best of the
early movies by sci-fi movie director John Carpenter, it explores the themes of media
control, subliminal advertising and consumerism, while putting a face and opening your
eyes to the "new world order!" |
