Independence Day (1996)


(TV) Are the salad days over for President Whitmore?

(TV) More Talk.

(TV) Leadership as a pilot in the Gulf War is completely different from leadership in politics.

Daddy let me watch Letterman.

Traitor.

(TV) That's the problem, they elected a warrior and they got a wimp.

-Good Morning, George.

-Morning, Mr President.

That game couldn't have been pretty.

Thank you, sir.

Connie, you're up awfully early this morning.

They're not attacking your policies, they're attacking your age. Whitmore seems less like the President... ...and more like the orphaned child Oliver asking, 'Please, sir, I'd like some more.'

-That's clever.

Focus : Pushing the Ozone Envelope : CBS DRAMA ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING ISN'T A PRETTY PICTURE

April 18, 1993 CONNIE KOENENN TIMES STAFF WRITER

Writer Jim Henerson was both pleased and surprised when CBS turned him loose on a project about global warming.

"I had signed a deal with them and they asked what I was interested in," says Henerson, a veteran TV writer. "I didn't want to write formula stuff, or the disease of the week. I'd been thinking about the ozone layer and global warming--all those things that are starting to scare us."

As it turned out, Jeff Sagansky, president of CBS Entertainment, had been thinking about those things too. He wanted an environmental project.

So Henerson, whose extensive series experience includes "Lassie," "I Dream of Jeannie" and "Bewitched," plus an Emmy for "Attica," got the rare assignment of writing a serious environmental script for a prime-time television audience.

The result is "The Fire Next Time," a two-part drama dramatizing the potentially devastating effects of global warming. The drama, produced by Robert Halmi's RHI Entertainment Inc., airs in two parts on Sunday and Tuesday.

Set approximately 30 years in the future, the drama depicts an America being ravaged by dying forests, drying rivers and shrinking beaches, its citizens plagued by waves of skin cancer, typhoid and cholera.

The story focuses on a Louisiana couple (Craig T. Nelson and Bonnie Bedelia) whose shrimp-fishing business and home are destroyed by the heat and storms of climate change. They undertake a trek to the cooler Northeast, making their way through a wasteland nation of cults and terrorists, a country gripped by "eco-phobia"--a fear of smog, germs and allergies.

This is not exactly escapist entertainment, Henerson acknowledges. Nor is it science fiction. He set it in the not-too-distant future so that most of the audience would envision themselves, or their children, being alive.

"It sounds fatuous, but I just hope people will take it seriously and think about it a little bit," he says. "I have kids and it bothers me to think of the world I'm going to be leaving them."

In the scene that touched him the most when he wrote it, the shrimp harvester's dying father (Richard Farnsworth) recalls a bumper sticker that said, "I'm Spending My Children's Inheritance," and apologizes to his own son for having depleted their natural world. "It's an environmental disaster movie with a message, and there's no doubt that it's kind of a downer," says Henerson. "I fully expected at any place along the process to be stopped, but I was surprised. CBS backed me all the way."

The most obvious precedent of apocalyptic television drama is "The Day After," ABC's landmark 1983 movie about the chilling aftereffects of nuclear bombing of the American Midwest. "We talked about that as a kind of model," says Henerson. "However, the dramatic model that worked best in my mind was 'Grapes of Wrath.' It was about a family displaced by an environmental event, the Dust Bowl, and they were crossing the country, making a trek to find a better life."

With the global-warming story, he feels, the thesis was richer: "The people displaced are themselves at fault, and I wanted them to make an odyssey across the country so it wouldn't be locked into any geographical area. This is everybody's problem."

What he hopes "The Fire Next Time" will achieve is to "put a little dent" into the general denial mechanism he sees at work. "The problem with global warming is that it's like watching a glacier melt," he says. "It just doesn't have dramatic impact."

But a TV drama does have impact. And a public that realizes the devastating consequences of ever-increasing gasses in the atmosphere--the average American is responsible for 40,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year--can also realize that there's still time to change the outcome, he believes.

"There is controversy over the time frame, but no controversy over the fact that greenhouse gasses are steadily increasing," says Henerson. "And we are probably the last generation with a window of opportunity to do something about it."

Henerson spent a lot of research time with scientists who are bona-fide experts, including Stephen Schneider, climatologist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. "It's not too late," says Schneider, who was science adviser on the project. "If this helps to educate the public, we can keep these stark images in the category of fiction." CBS, along with the Environmental Defense Fund, will help the activist process along. They've prepared a follow-up package for schools on the science of global warming and the personal "Greenhouse Diet," outlining steps individuals can take to reduce global warming, taken from Andrew Revkin's prize-winning book "Global Warming: Understanding the Forecast."

"There have been attempts in Hollywood to work in environmental themes, but nothing of this scope," Revkin says. With the educational outreach program, he says, "The show won't just float there and disappear. It will have impact."

"The Fire Next Time" airs on CBS at 9 p.m. on Sunday and Tuesday.

`The Fire Next Time' Is Certain To Engulf You

By John Voorhees

"The Fire Next Time," CBS miniseries, 9 p.m. Sunday and Tuesday, Channel 7.

Anyone who remembers Longfellow's 1847 epic poem, "Evangeline," will have a useful clue as to the eventual outcome of "The Fire Next Time," the rip-roaring, over-ambitious, often bizarre but never dull miniseries CBS is airing this week, as a salute to Earth Week.

But before references to Earth Week, Longfellow and epic poetry scare you off, be advised that "The Fire Next Time," even when it doesn't make much sense, is first and foremost a TV entertainment - and writer James Henerson has stuffed enough story, action and conflict into these four hours to last most TV series for several seasons.

"The Fire Next Time" is in the TV sci-fi tradition but instead of trekking to the stars, this film, which also has touches of "Road Warrior," imagines what life might be like a few decades from now in a world which has ignored warnings about global warming.

It stars Craig T. Nelson as Drew Morgan, a Louisiana bayou fisherman whose business is failing, whose marriage to Suzanne (Bonnie Bedelia) is failing, whose oldest son, Paul (Justin Whalin) hates him and whose father (Richard Farnsworth) is dying. The dysfunctional Morgan family also includes Ashley Jones as the teen-age daughter, Linnie, and Shawn Toovey as the youngest son, Jake.

Set "sometime in the future," the Morgans live in a world where air conditioning is rationed, where the heat, at least in the

Southern U.S., has become nearly unbearable, where water has become a precious commodity and the Colorado River has all but disappeared.

Now add to this a California that seems to be perpetually on fire, a devastating hurricane, a flood and the existence of various cults, from one that believes there's no hope for the future, to a more militant group called Eco-Survivalists. In short, life, as lived in "The Fire Next Time,' is pretty grim - but never dull.

Writer Henerson and director Tom McLoughlin obviously (and correctly) believed few would be willing to sit through a four-hour lecture on ecology, so they turned "The Fire Next Time" into a saga every bit as epic as "Evangeline" (which told of French-Canadians' trek from Nova Scotia to Louisiana to settle, the ancestors of today's Cajuns).

It includes plenty of family conflict, a long sequence with Mexican immigrants and the destruction of irrigation equipment, a startlingly realistic hurricane (which, incidentally, was filmed several weeks before last year's Hurricane Andrew - talk about life imitating art!).

There's the journey of homeless refugees up the Mississippi on a flat barge, a visit to an ecologically-perfect town that looks like it was created by Disney and sequences set in Canada that make it look like paradise after scenes in the battered U.S.A.

No expense has been spared on "The Fire Next Time," which is crammed with dozens of convincing crowd scenes shot in many refugee stations, the river journey, fires in California, several riots involving protesting citizens. This all forms a colorful backdrop for the performances by the large cast, all of whom do good work, including Jurgen Prochnow as an old family friend with too much of an interest in Mrs. Morgan, and especially Louise Fletcher in a funny turn as the scary leader of the Eco-Survivalists.

That's the kind of diversion that keeps cropping up in "The Fire Next Time." Hopefully, we'll do some serious thinking about global warming after viewing this film but certainly no viewer will be able to claim being bored. This film is to global warming what ABC's "The Day After" was to the Soviet nuclear threat.

`WOMAN' LACKING "The Woman Who Loved Elvis," "ABC Sunday Night Movie," 9 p.m., Channel 4.

This little throwaway TV movie, based on a novel, "Graced Land," by Bellingham author Laura Kalpakian, is at its best when at its funniest - which means when its star, Roseanne Arnold, is closest to her splendid characterization from her hit series, "Roseanne."

It's at its worst when Arnold tries for pathos in this story of Joyce, a woman on welfare in a small Iowa town who turns her home into a shrine for "The King" after her husband (played by Tom Arnold) leaves her and their two daughters to live with another woman, with whom he fathers two sons.

The slight plot has a lonely neophyte social worker, played with charm by Cynthia Gibb, befriending Joyce and her raffish buddy, Sandee, played with delight by Sally Kirkland, instead of sternly lecturing Joyce about trying to cheat the system.

The scenes between the women are lively fun, and Joyce's character in its lighter moments is entertaining, because of Arnold's ability. But when we're asked to get sentimental over Joyce's plight, it's a stretch of imagination difficult to make - partly because of Arnold's success at depicting Joyce (and "Roseanne") as tough survivors.

While "The Woman Who Loved Elvis" is at its best when it is at its most comic, it's not nearly as good as your average episode of "Roseanne."

DON'T MISS THIS

"Calling the Shots," three-part "Masterpiece Theatre," 9 p.m. Sunday, Channel 9.

Lynn Redgrave stars in this contemporary thriller that could just as easily have been presented on PBS' "Mystery!" series, for it has much the same style and pace as the recent "Prime Suspect II." And the character Redgrave plays - Maggie Donnelly, TV reporter for a news-magazine show called "Friday File" - shares certain similarities with the policewoman played by Helen Mirren in "Prime Suspect II."

Gone is the perky Redgrave we've known - her Maggie Connerly is a no-nonsense career woman whose life isn't in particularly good shape, socially, romantically or career-wise. When Maggie accidentally stumbles onto a story of sexual abuse of a young woman, Maggie convinces her to tell her story on camera - which results in a hot TV report but unforeseen consequences for Maggie.

To tell more would be to spoil the suspense of "Calling the Shots." All I can say is I can't wait for the two subsequent episodes.

YOU'LL LIKE THIS "The Sea Wolf," 5, 7 and 9 p.m. Sunday, TNT.

Jack London's famous novel, "The Sea Wolf,' may be nearly 100 years old but its story of good vs. evil, the individual vs. society, is as potent as ever, if this new film version is any indication.

"The Sea Wolf' has long attracted filmmakers - there are at least a half-dozen versions, most notable being the 1941 studio-made movie, directed by Michael Curtiz and starring Edward G. Robinson, Alexander Knox and John Garfield.

This one can hold its own against such competition, thanks to fine performances by Charles Bronson as tough Captain Wolf Larsen and Christopher Reeve as the passenger plucked from the sea, and the at-sea filming, near Vancouver, B.C., aboard Zodiac, one of the few remaining tall ships on the coast (and docked in this area when not on chartered cruises).

The usually taciturn Bronson is believable as the self-educated captain who believes it "better to reign in hell than to serve in heaven" Larsen, and Reeve is a perfect foil in their verbal sparring. Also making a strong contribution is character actor Clive Revill as the ship's cook, who makes Reeve's life hell; Len Cariou, as the ship's doctor, and Marc Singer and Mary Catherine Stewart in smaller roles.

Michael Anderson directed Andrew Fenady's adaptation of London's novel.

How Soviets steal U.S. high-tech secrets; the KGB uses blackmail, bribery and deception to plunder U.S. technology worth billions to Moscow.

Article from:U.S. News & World Report Article date:August 12, 1985Author:Dudney, Robert S.

In Moscow's espionage offensive against the United States, no prize is more valued than secrets of America's high technology.

Like his predecessors, Kremlin chief Mikhail Gorbachev counts on pilfered American industrial secrets to help rescue the Soviet Union from economic stagnation and to keep pace in the superpowe arms race.

No fewer than 2,000 intelligence agents, smugglers and international middlemen are at work for Moscow around the globe obtaining everything from sophisticated computers to pinhead-size microchips in a no-holds-barred offensive where stakes are high, payoffs handsome and personal risks relatively small.

I went back to sleep for a while and I am not certain how long I was asleep but it could not have been more than 3 hours and I was sleeping fairly soundly. I do not understand the dream I was having other than it could have just been a regular dream. One detail it reminds me of is the notion I have been thinking about again for the past few days about that time I was talking to Reham. She was the Canadian who told me she was of Egyptian descent. I told her that time at the Christmas party in Bellevue, just before she gave me a ride back to my Limestone Apartment, which was the setting of the dream I just had, along with me drinking at a nearby bar, which was not familar in the dream, but which I do remember drinking at a nearby bar, that I had spent so much time in the North Atlantic that my offspring would be Eskimo.
