Guest guest Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Most blatant piece of propaganda of this century; if you rely on ABC for your NEWS, GOD have mercy on you; Sell your ABC stock. Even the paid expert " consultants " on the show have labelled it B.S. Geese and swans are painted as more dangerous than depleted uranium, scarier than Jason.. Typical " scenes " include child wearing mask behind chain link fence, heroine removing patient from respirator 'cause others with better chance of survival need equipment, and bulldozers handling bodies of deceased. " Corpse management will be critical factor " ---Bodies piling up so quickly it takes dump trucks to haul them away. Barbed wire to keep whole neighborhoods quarantined. Pls remember that Tamiflu (anise seed base) has virtually no benefit except to war criminal's pocketbooks. NOW, I'm getting scared; but not of the BIRD FLU. From our group, " PLEASE..don't blindly line up because inoculation is " mandatory " and you are threatened with quarantine. Instead, relax, wash your hands, have some red wine and dark chocolate, be happy and take lots of " C " ...and THINK...WHY?....UncBob Click to join Avian2005 http://health.Avian2005/ Beware the needle, Mudville, Rose TELEVISION REVIEW 'Fatal Contact' should be quarantined http://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.boston.com/ae/tv/articles/2006/05/09/fata\ l_contact_should_be_quarantined & e=14905 & sa=X & oi=news & ct=result & cd=2 By Matthew Gilbert, Globe Staff | May 9, 2006 I could start this review by toying ruthlessly with the title of ABC's new TV movie, ''Fatal Contact. " Any time a word like ''fatal " appears in the name of a big old stinker, it demands to be redeployed by the critic. As in: ''Contact " is fatal. Or, more concisely, ''Fatal " is. But ''Fatal Contact, " which arrives with the thrilling subtitle ''Bird Flu in America, " doesn't deserve to be used for fun. Folks, this is an excruciatingly dull movie, and having a good time writing about it could mislead. This piece of weakly constructed sensationalism, which premieres tonight at 8 on Channel 5, is so unscary it almost serves as a kind of promo for the poultry industry. If the avian flu is going to be this unbelievable and jerky, I choose chicken. The idea of the ''Fatal Contact " script, seemingly written during morning recess by Ron McGee of ''Atomic Twister " un-fame, is that the human spread of the flu, known as H5N1, would be bad. Really bad. Really, really bad. So bad that ''bad " doesn't even begin to explain just how bad it will be. And that's the only idea here. An American businessman in Hong Kong returns home to Virginia, coughs, and voila! The streets are mad with looting citizens, body bags are being dumped into pits, neighborhoods are quarantined, and helpless old ladies are starving to death. And the phones are ringing. ''Fatal Contact " is one of those TV products that resorts to having phones ring in the background to keep us alert. As the epidemic gets worse, and as the movie gets worse, the ringing gets more insistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
