Bad companies

[Dr. Whom]

Over on Yahoo movies, they have a list of the worst corporations in movies.

There are some of the usual suspects, like Omni, Umbrella, Weyland-Yutani, Cyberdyne or Soylent, but there must be worse out there in B-movie land. What about the people who developed the Syngenor, or Malcolm McDowell's outfit in Tank Girl? Who do you nominate?

"They call them bad companies, and they can't deny it..."

How about the corporation in HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH that designs exploding Halloween masks for the kiddies?

I'll always have a soft spot for Malcolm McDowell in "Tank Girl". Just the scene where he produces the water extractor, as if it was the Holy Grail of gizmos, and then it fails to extract more than a couple of pints from a henchman, was worth the rental.

I mean, scientists claim we are 80% water, so extrating enough water from a person to fill a pilcher is no big deal, no matter what Malcolm McDowell has to say about it.

But as far as bad companies go, I'd choose the Tyrrel Corp. from "Blade Runner". These people keep producing more and more human-like replicants just because they can. As soon as the police tests can detect them, Tyrrell will produce a new batch who will bypass them. Add to this that Tyrrel seems completely oblivious to the suffering he causes, both to the replicants themselves and to the mankind who has to deal with the consequences of the replicants' having rather unstable psychologies.

And what the Hell, for a guy that makes so much money, he could have protected his people better. But no, he had to be the only one living in a penthouse with a remote controlled elevator.

What about ACME? We've been witnesses, a thousand times, of the lousy qualiy of their products, and that their ads often lie about the properties of the product, of their efectiveness and their chances of backfire.

And, as stablished in "Looney Tunes back in action", they also refuse to return the money to angered buyers and place all the fault of their failures in the hands of their customers.

The evil corporation in Norman Jewison's Rollerball ~ I can't remember if they had a name or not but they sure had an irritating corporate anthem.

There's a chain of "Acme" grocery stores in my area. I'm proud of myself that I've never once gone up to Customer Service and asked for an anvil or a pair of rocket-propelled roller skates. But I'll bet at least one or two other smartasses haven't had quite as much self-restraint...

There used to be an ACME near my house, but the mall they were in folded a few years back. The service desk had a big picture with Wile E. falling from a cliff behind it with the ACME logo in it. I wanted to buy that picture so bad.
