The Market Coalition

If you are on the fence about ordering attuverse be ready to think about alternatives … unless you appreciate substandard signals on top of never ending wait times to get in touch with someone on the phone.

You probably read a load of u-verse experiences and I’m providing a different review. I am pretty shocked at the amount of individuals who were for the service.

I’m complaining because I was just on hold for an eternity to speak with a human being because the first bill I ever received was a collections warning and a amount due for $315. After being passed off to several delinquents, I was finally transfered to a rep who advised she could make an adjustment on the amount. After 17 minutes on hold, I was told that the original person I fought with could only make the change. So, that was in the end waste of a long call that changed absolutely nothing since the other office closed up while I was waiting.

Added to that horrible time, I’ve had a bafoon come to my house 7 times for the terrible quality of service. Nothing changes.

The only reasonI’m with them is because the station variety has great potential and it costs below the other competitors. But seriously, I wouldn’t recommend this company to my worst enemy.

Nominated for three Golden Globes, Good Times premiered in mid-season 1974 to widespread critical acclaim and audience popularity. A spin-off of the Bea Arthur (of Golden Girls fame) sitcom Maude (1972), Good Times became the fourth of five highly successful sitcoms brought into being during the 1970’s decade by Norman Lear. In addition to Maude, those sitcoms were All In The Family (1971), Sanford & Son (1972), and The Jeffersons (1975). The second of three to focus exclusively on African-American family life, Good Times became a source for groundbreaking social commentary in compliment to its penchant for hilarious family comedy…

The Good Times (Season 2) DVD features a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere “Florida Flips” in which Florida’s erratic behavior causes the family and her best friend Willona to question what’s wrong with her. Michael thinks that menopause in the root cause, while Willona thinks that it’s Florida’s boredom with the daily routine of being a housewife… Other notable episodes from Season 2 include “The Person I Most Admire” in which Michael is tasked with writing a school essay on the person he most admires, prompting him to choose between James and Florida, and “Florida’s Big Gig” in which James takes Florida along on a job interview where she’s offered the job instead of him…

Plot points are linear links that make up the chain of traditional Aristotelian 3-act dramatic structure. This classic structure worked well in Hollywood for almost a century now. Although young movie makers are forcing the limits of this structure, plot points still rule the day as the “tent poles” that hold up of the circus of our dreams. Here are the plot points of Hitchcock’s Family Plot (1976), as I see them.

Family Plot (1976)

Starring: Bruce Dern, Barbara Harris, William Devane, Karen Black, Ed Lauter
Directed by: Alfred Hitchcock
Writer: Ernest Lehman (Screenwriter)

ESTABLISHING SHOT: A spooky crystal ball with lava-lamp liquid swimming in it. A private spirit séance in a wealthy house for a wealthy old lady by a fake medium Blanche Tyler (Barbara Harris).

INCITING INCIDENT 1: Blanch and her taxi cab driver boyfriend George Lumley (Bruce Dern) agree to continue their charade and milk the wealthy and guilt-ridden widow to the tune of $10K by finding the son of her deceased sister.

INCITING INCIDENT 2: Fran (Karen Black) delivers a kidnapped industrialist in return for a valuable diamond.

PLOT POINT 1: Cabdriver George, pretending he is a lawyer, finds the gas station operator Maloney who helped kill Arthur Adamson (William Devane)’s adoptive parents and cover up his faked death in order to erase any information that Arthur is indeed the boy given up for adoption years ago. George makes it clear that he is looking for the boy whom could inherit a fortune from his aunt.

MID POINT EVENT: Maloney tries to kill both George and Blanche by messing up their brakes. The scary ride down a mountain ends up killing Maloney instead.

PLOT POINT 2: Blanche is caught and taken prisoner by Arthur and Fran.

3rd ACT RESOLUTION: George and Blanche succeed in trapping both Arthur and Fran in their own dungeon cell that they have used for their kidnapping victims in the past.
