Filmbrain's Screen Capture Quiz: Round 8, Week 7

With the President's approval rating on an ever-increasing downward slide, I thought it would be a fitting tribute to use a screen capture from a film about the man whose record Bush might just beat -- Mr. 29% himself, Nixon. Though not one of Oliver Stone's more popular films, I've always considered it one of his most interesting, and a rather fair portrait, given the director's politics. At around three and a half hours (the DVD version runs an additional twenty minutes longer than the theatrical release), it's never boring, and there isn't a piece of Tricky Dick's career that's left unexplored. The connection I had in mind to Good Night, and Good Luck was the archival footage of Senator Joe McCarthy, but as several of you pointed out, there was also similar footage of Eisenhower and Robert Kennedy in both films. For this week's quiz -- not a whole lot to go on -- a reel-to-reel tape player, and a copy of the book that pretty much begat the self-help movement. Name the film, and, for a bonus point, its connection to Nixon. Submit your answers to this address. Good luck!

Bush doesn't care about the polls. too busy killing cold blooded rapists and murderers. Stone's Nixon "fair." Haaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaa!
