More Dollar DVD Sleuthing


A person named Amy left a few helpful breadcrumbs in the comments of one of my old entries about those cheap DVDs you can find at discount shops.

She also pointed to another nice resource — the Public Domain Movie Database.

Thanks, Amy!

Response:
I brought a dollar dvd thinking there was more Raggedy Ann carttoons about what i found was 6 carttoons that I found boreing ! Only two Raggedy Ann carttoons out of 61 mintues that is just a waste ! When I was two years I saw later verson of Raggedy Ann in 1977 it was more Raggedy Ann then the dvd I had brought for a dollar ! Raggedy Ann carttoons date back to 1947 to 1949 ! Only enjoyed the two carttoons of Raggedy Ann which are Suddenly it's spring and Enchanted square where the better animation out of the whole dvd !



In "King Henry VI, Part II," Shakespeare has Dick Butcher suggest to his fellow anti-establishment rabble-rousers, "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers." That action may be extreme but a similar sentiment was expressed by Thomas K. Connellan, president of The Management Group, Inc. Speaking to business executives in Chicago and quoted in Automotive News, Connellan attributed a measure of America's falling productivity to an excess of attorneys and accountants, and a dearth of production experts. Lawyers and accountants "do not make the economic pie any bigger; they only figure out how the pie gets divided. Neither profession provides any added value to product." According to Connellan, the highly productive Japanese society has 10 lawyers and 30 accountants per 100,000 population. The U.S. has 200 lawyers and 700 accountants. This suggests that "the U.S. proportion of pie-bakers and pie-dividers is way out of whack." Could Dick Butcher have been an efficiency expert? -- Motor Trend, May 1983
