"Kiss me, Rhett!" |
How many times have you seen Gone With The Wind?
Me? At least 4. When a movie is a classic, it's something to be seen again and again. GA's got loads of Hudson County classic cinema in the vault... what is that, you ask?
Well, with respect to Hoboken it takes on a variety of shapes and forms.
We have orchestrated political theater at the City Council- that's where a political operative is filmed by a wealthy Councilwoman's personal videographer for use in her campaign commercials, or where that same hired videographer shows up to film Mayor Zimmer's deposition and then the film is posted on Hoboken411 the next day!
Another kind of Hoboken classic cinema (GA's personal favorite) is when politicians and their campaign operatives are filmed by a third party doing what they do!
Here's a classic that debuted on MSV on October 29, 2010.
The setting: a highly unusual midnight meeting at City Council 4th Ward candidate Tim Occhipinti's campaign headquarters with some of the 'heavy-hitters' seen on film. The cameraman observed a large number of people in attendance, but his/her film captured those standing outside, and entering and exiting Occhipinti's headquarters.
Grab your popcorn!
The following excerpt is from the MSV Exclusive:
Among those in attendance in the Monday midnight meeting were candidate Tim Occhipinti, campaign manager Jamie Cryan, third ward Councilman Mike Russo, his mother Michelle five-dollars-a-tow Russo, Weehawken political operative James Barracato, and Hoboken411 ghostwriter Lane (redacted).Wow, Horsey, that was quite a 'get'. No wonder so many Dark Siders want to seal those horse-lips of yours shut!
MSV has acquired exclusive video of the midnight meeting participants Monday night. In the video Tim Occhipinti is seen in a white shirt and tie with the other dead of night meeting participants outside of the campaign HQ as it concludes.
He later follows Michelle Russo who breaks up the meeting and heads to her car. She can be heard asking if she can have something "tomorrow." Tim Occhipinti is then heard answering her in the affirmative before getting into the back of her illegally parked vehicle.
Councilman Mike Russo seen wearing a red visor then says good night sharing hugs first with Occhipinti campaign manager Jamie Cryan, then Lane (redacted). and finally James Baracatto. He does not hug or shake hands with a fourth unidentified person standing with the other three. The video ends with Jamie Cryan standing and talking with James Barracato, Lane (redacted).and the fourth unidentified person.
You are a 4-hoofed Hoboken treasure.
Well, folks. Did you enjoy the movie?
