The "Glengarry Glen Ross" School of Motivation

OK, this is probably one of the most classic scenes in any film dealing with business  - ever! It is where a young, thin, pre-"30 Rock" Alec Baldwin delivers his tour de force performance in the movie version of David Mamet's classic stage play, Glengarry Glen Ross, released in 1992. So, for you youngsters who haven't seen this "all-time" classic, watch below (and with a disclaimer, it does have some "R-rated" language):





Now, a number of years later, Alec Baldwin had great fun spoofing this role - and himself - on a Christmas episode of Saturday Night Live - watch (and this one you could even show the kids):





So, how would you react if "F-U, that's my name" came to your workplace to motivate you? Ever been in a situation even remotely like this? Post your comments here on the blog.

Modern Family Ratings Hit Series High

Image via Wikipedia

I think that "Modern Family" could become the next "Seifeld," a timeless classic. If they can hold the writing staff and the ensemble cast together - and if they can keep the momentum of this first season up - they have the potential to have one of the truly great shows in TV history on their hands. It is about the only "appointment viewing," must see television for our family any more - and the jokes usually work on two levels.
