The Talk Hard Forever Campaign

Hey, your site azrocky doesnt seem to be working anymore. Was going to the site to see how I could help, PUTV is my favourite movie ever. How can anyone help? Bombard New Line cinema with requests for a rerelease? Would be difficult, but worth a shot (if another half-million do it too). Never give up...

TALK HARD!!!

Thanks to all who responded. I had given up that anyone would! My plans to work on a revitalization of this film have been delayed by some personal and family matters; but I still believe in it very passionately. Sorry for those who went to my site and found it down. I am still interested in any contact from anyone into this film.

Talk Hard and Make It Count

That was one of the best written comments I have ever read on the IMDB! - I agree 100% on how impactful the movie was, and also like your afterthought on Fight Club! A 15th anniversary re-release would be AWESOME!

PUTV was set in AZ but was shot in Santa Clarita CA. The strange thing about this movie is how much alike and dislike this movie was comparted to Allen Moyle's first film "Times Square". Both way ahead of their time and neither would ever get make today unless the creators did everything themselves, meaning the funding, production etc. Even Miramax would take a pass on it today. The only reason it was picked up by New Line back in '90 was that the studio heads were still looking for the next Breakfast Club/Ferris Bueller type teen movie. I don't think anyone at the time even realized how much pop culture was shifting given the rawness of PUTV and how even musically rap was in the infancy of becoming mainstream, grunge was about to hit a year later etc. Harry was sort of an anti-hero compared to the lead characters of the 80's teen movies that the bratpackers or John Cusack portrayed...with the exception of John Bender I suppose.

Why is the notion of a pirate radio station obsolete? Do you want to know what happened to guys like this who stood on principles? They moved on. The internet will NEVER replace radio, just will not, but radio has allowed itself to be pushed aside. the internet hasn't made TV obsolete, on the contrary, they are now complimentary mediums, but radio has one thing going for it the internet does not, the power of human speech. sit down sometime and read a transcript of the "I Have a Dream" speech, then listen to it. there is no doubt where the impact lies. why do you think the FCC currently monitors radio waves so much more closely than internet transmissions? it is NOT because the technology isn't there, it's because in comparison, internet is impotent and harmless. As far as modern Harrys, it's a farce. yeah, the modern internet can process live video and audio clips and can transmit TV signals, but on the whole, it's just porn and wackaloons sounds off. The few people who do this kind of thing in the really real world end up in jail, unheard from again and thoroughly snuffed out by the powers that be. the other side of it is, where does it get us? talk is good, and it's great to imagine having this voice broadcast all over that is your stream of conciousness, your unspoken desires, all that teen angst. but what happens then? do you wake up in the morning, pull all that desire for change and expression into a palpable thing and ACT ON IT? No, and it makes sense why...teenagers are idiots. be real, i too, like everybody, has thought back on my high school days and reminisced fondly. but would i ever go back to that? not on your life!! i'm SO much happier now, with a family and people to take of and who take care of me. but fear not, let me tell you good readers, i'm not an automoton who sold out to the richies to get comfy...i am unemployed after being fired from Federal Express for being the outspoken voice of reason and rebellion, fired due to COMPLETELY FABRICATED sexual harassment charges, as being handicapped, my bosses knew they would need something airtight to keep me fired, and they certainly couldn't find fault after 5 years of exemplary service. hell, they did everything but tell me i was the best employee on staff, but also that i would never advance beyond mid-level because of my "language and discipline issues." i was respected by most of my co-workers as one of the most knowledgable and dependable people on staff, and someone who was ALWAYS approachable. the only exception were the "fast-trackers," the guys whose identity in life is colored the cinnamon brown of their boss's o-ring, and the back office themselves, where lived a boss who "talked straight from the hip and appreciated honesty and integrity because that's the core of our business above all else." well that's funny, because when i told him in front of the assembled office one afternoon that i thought he didn't know what he was being unfair by making the team i was on work a sixth day a week while the other five teams in the building got to go home early every day and did not have to rotate one day a week with us, i was told not to comment at office meetings anymore because i'm not a postive person and my "feedback wasn't constructive." i am now a stay-at-home dad w/ my sons ages 3 and 1, and am so much happier back out of the corporate world of backstabbing and gladhanding. i support free speech and support free thought, but i've been slapped down by it. i suspect, i hope, mine is not the only story ot there like this. but the truth is, but the truth is, even the rebels have to eat, and every time you go to walmart or best buy or any other business, you are supporting their way of business. this means the businesses set popular ethics, standards for speech, etc...and since most of us can't or won't do without out soy lattes or our iPods, we buy into the system. i say we, rather than they, as i buy diapers at walmart, i bought my iPod from apple.com and i buy gasoline for my car wherever it's cheapest. however, that means i support those institutions, and that is what being an adult is about, understanding that "the system" is larger than just talk. i can chat about rebellion all i want, but my interest is no more than "talk soft" unless i will do something about it.
