For those of you who haven't seen Neil Breen's Fateful Findings, choice moments include:
1)Breen displays rare emotion when his eyes bug out at the site of his best friend's daughter dropping her bikini to shower in front of him.
2)Breen's best friend is murdered by his shrill blonde woman-child of a wife, who stages it to make it look like a suicide, screaming "He killed...himself! HE KILLED HIMSELF!" Breen wanders into the scene, cradles his friend's body, and goes "Jim! Jim. How could you have done this? How could you. I cannot believe you committed suicide. With all we've been through, I can't pull you out of this one. Goodbye my friend. Goodbye."
3)Breen's Russian-accented dullard of a wife, played by an actress so piss poor she makes the girl from The Room look like Judi Dench by comparison, commits suicide with alcohol and pills. Breen wanders into the scene, bleating, "Em-i-ly! Em-il-y! Em-i-ly!" like a goat. Then he appears to silently whisper "no! no!" to the camera. THEN it immediately cuts to him saying "Emily's dead." to his laptop in a room with no people in it.
4)Breen unveils his FATEFUL FINDINGS INDEED, from YEARS OF HACKING INTO TOP SECRET GOVERNMENT AND CORPORATE FILES, to The People Of America by standing in front of a green screen picture of the Capitol Building and announcing into a microphone that what he's found is devastating. A gaggle of six terrible random middle-aged actors, playing corporate scumbags and government crooks, announce how evil and horrible they've been TO THE CAMERA and they all commit pathetic suicides. THE END.
That last scene in particular comes across like what Ebert said about the Tony Danza movie She's Out Of Control: it looks like something filmed by people from Mars who had only a thin grasp of what human beings are really like.
