"Visioneers" are blind as bats

Zach Galifianakis, beeper-toting eccentric from The Hangover, stars as a well-paid cog in the largest, most profitable and "happiest" company in the world, Jeffers Corporation, in a directorial debut called, Visioneers.  This Orwellian film is Office Space meets Brazil and clearly, depressingly illustrates the trade-off (bureaucracy) for micromanaged, middle management to obtain a comfortable living in order to avoid the innovative, emotional and high-risk endeavors of a life outside the mega-corp.  Not only does this company manufacture widgets, but also, silly slogans and departments names and staffer titles and greetings including "have a Jeffers morning" and the ironic, official 'hi sign" Zach's graciously saluting to a co-worker in the pic (you'll need to see it to get it) -- all of which can't see and may not even be aware of a normal life and could not even imagine a hippie lifestyle outside the corp.

The only other face you'll recognize is that of Judy Greer.  As the robotic housewife seeking self-help, for exactly what, she is unaware.  Judy's hot in this one though.  I'm not sure if it's because she actually is or because she reminds me of the selling agent realtor that I met before buying my house.  She was smokin' hot but introduced herself with hands behind her back stating she avoided handshakes because she suffered from sweaty palm syndrome.  Maybe if she were fugly I would have been yucked out by that, but all I could think about is this hot blond giving me a sweaty, wet handj*b in the bathroom during an open house.  Anyway, watch the movie trailer and read on because...

FilmBender Movie Reviews are likely the highest brow literary endeavors you've got on your list, you sick f*ck.  So... the monotony of his life is not the only dissatisfaction driving Zach to find a different life -- people are mysteriously, literally exploding for unknown reasons.  Leave it to Jeffers to market and lobby the President of the United States himself into endorsing Jeffers Corp products and services to help avoid human combustion.  Quirky, slow, rewarding, and at times, er, explosive.  Have a Jeffers day!  [Kaboom!!]

Times and Roku is what thye ARE NOT doing by keeping old business models while inventing new ones. Sort of one hand not knowing what the other is doing. Roku rolls out new platforms but hasn't tackled the key question of selling more boxes. You need one for each TV. Why not discount multiple orders for people with more than one TV? Financial Times wants to make online access free or pay depending upon the frequency of use, but it continues to charge customers TWO fees if the customer subscribes to print AND wants an subscription online as well.
