...When the old man leaves on a trip - he's actually casing the competition to see how they bring in the customers - Mike is left in charge. But Jerry has had a little accident at a local power station: his body has been magnetized, and when he touches the video boxes he instantly erases all the tapes, rendering them useless. The demand by a stern lady of the neighborhood, Miss Falewicz (Mia Farrow, a living connection to the Zelig trope), to watch Ghostbusters sends the guys scurrying to make their own 20-min. version of the old Bill Murray comedy...
...easy to see how this kind of cost cutting is possible. Throughout Sacchi and Caputo’s work, all signs point to an industry whose demand has vastly outgrown its resources. Clips from finished films have the reel quality of cheap commercials on your local community access station; cuts from frame to frame are sloppy, the picture is grainy and the audio is poor.

This awkward moment—the kind in which only one party realizes that the interaction is bizarre...
...some 65,000-plus voters went to grocery stores and bank lobbies, rec centers and libraries to vote. Some images are startling: 1,000 Prairie View A&M students, a traditionally African-American college in a rural area west of Houston, marched seven miles to the nearest early voting station. And in a state requiring no party registration to cast a ballot, two out of three early voters so far have asked for a Democratic ballot. That is where the battle is being fought: between a must-win Hillary Clinton and a surging Barack Obama...
