The Exxon Valdez Oil Spill - Part 7 of 10

[gaiagale]

these comments seem so off point ...perhaps I've been mistaken about the factual content

this is about an oil spill of at least 11 million gallons of oil

it is logical to think that the oil companies would find it worth their while to recover rather than disperse ...even a man in a totally different buisness was more effective than the oil 'experts' at recovering the oil simply yet effectively

good gracious! ..the oil was a meter thick in places to deploy booms was and still is ludicrous

hummm, GHWB didn't visit Valdez?

5:10, check out the scary vein on the side of 'Steve' 's head throb when he finds out some scruffy fishermen, led by David Morse (for a moment, I thought it was a young Russell Crowe, but he wasn't beating anybody up, so it couldn't be him) want to sit in on their fancy meeting.

2:37- Just what any oil disaster pic needs: a car chase! With scaaaary violin sounds!! Boy, I love watching this coast guard admiral act like he's General effing blood&guyts McArthur!

Rip Torn: Sonny, when i was knee-high to a grasshopper, we'd walk ten miles, barefoot, in the SNOW, to clean up our oil spills, and we'd use nothing but a spoon and the sweat off our brow!

Other guy: excuse me sir, but your full of crap.

Rip Torn: I'm just saying, don't blow this out of proportion. (= awesome)

ooh and the ceo of exxon (I assume, the baldie) is the weird general from Twin Peaks! This movie is full of obscure yet great bit part actors. And here's Rip Torn as Admiral Yost, with hair died white, being grizzled and ornery & totally nuts; As usual. He shoulda won an oscar for Freddie Got Fingered. Just saying.
