Quotes of Movie: "Max Headroom" [1987]
|
The loudest sound in the universe is the last heartbeat. Zik-Zak... We make everything you need and you need everything we make. Ah - love - the walks over soft grass, the smiles over candlelight, the fights over just about everything else... How can you tell a network executive is lying? His lips move! | |

What do men do when women are distressed? Theora Jones: Run away or boast, normally. Max Headroom: Say, would someone mind checking the ratings? I seem to have an audience of two. Yes, t-t-t-t-tune into Network 23! The network that's a *real* mind-blower! [his head explodes then reappears] Max Headroom: And I love, love, l-l-love... love those blip-blip-blip-blipverts! Freedom. You know, writers have no freedom on TV. One rude suggestion, and the censors are straight on their back. Not on their back in a rude way. Now, I'm no librarian, in fact, I don't know what star sign I am. But, as a famous person once said, "You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time." And as I - another more famous person - once said, "If you don't teach them to read, you can fool them whenever you like." Have you any idea how successful censorship is on TV? Don't know the answer? Hmm. Successful, isn't it? Well, most people would agree that censors are a silly breed. In fact, it surprises me how they ever manage to breed at all. Max Headroom: As, 'tis Max Headroom here, and I quote from the bard, Shakespeare, a writer: "The quality of TV is not strained, it dropeth as the gentle ratings dropeth to a very tiny percentage share and, lo, 'tis gone." Of course, Shakespeare would have loved your rating system. Twelfth Night would have been lucky to have lasted *one*! Override Censor? Good God, Murray! I'm the Chairman, not the Creator! Those that can, do. Those that can't, censor it. I want you to form a team of the most brilliant minds in network television. Bryce Lynch: Isn't that a contradiction in terms? You can't fake a tape! Pictures don't lie! [pause] Murray: At least not until you've assembled them creatively. What happened to the old religions? Murray: I don't know. Television killed it. We have better miracles. There are no experimental failures. There's only more data! The show has surprise, shock, pace... and huge cash stakes. I've accomplished the impossible... I've replaced mindless action with fascination. [reading a list of complaints from the network censor] "I have noted three 'damns,' four 'hells,' sixteen cases of sexual innuendo, a reference to self-abuse, two veiled remarks about network presidents, and a joke about the Son of God." Doesn't say which god. Edison Carter: I'm sure it's the current one. It's probably the guy who's running the censor computer. Y'know... I get the feeling there's a lot of faces out there... watching... me! And I can tell you it brings a lump to my ratings. Yes, this is Network 23. The net-net-net-net-network that puts it right... where they want you to be! | |
