Madonna: H&M ad 2 yrs ago "director's cut"

do they really have "directors cuts" of telly ads?

Madonna: Max Factor not really rare

not really rare because it was all over our telly 10 years ago

when they say "lasts 11 hours" I thought they meant this commercial ~ hahahh

+ notice how much more flattering are the tones than (original) black and white, below

Madonna: Max Factor

Now this shows the power of cutting. From foundation (above) they've moved on to lippy... and boy doesn't she make a hash out of it. "We've all gotta get a grip" = I NEED to get a grip, Madonna

THATCHER: POPULAR CAPITALISM

This is her in a nutshell:~

Margaret Thatcher und die Deutschen

THIS IS TYPICAL entertainment from the best policial TV show of the 1980s: SPITTING IMAGE. Notice how lifelike they made Thatcher's puppet...

Margaret Thatcher's speech: motion of no confidence, House of Commons, Tuesday 30th October 1990

THIS SHOWS WHY BRITISH POLITICS (ironically the last major democracy to bring cameras into the House) is the most televisual in the world.

Compare Margaret Thatcher's stately eloquence to the leering of those opposition gargoyles, Niel Kinnock and that one who spits all the time...

Spitting Image Medley

(mit Deutschen Untertitel~ jawohl!)

All the stars of the 80s political scene are here: Margaret Thatcher, Niel Kinnock, Geoffrey Howe, Douglas Hurd, George Bush (I) etc etc etc... somehow the booming resonances of someone's living room only add to the rustic charm of this montage of Spitting Image's best.
