She was not in the Season Premiere of Aaron Sorkin's new HBO hit 'Newsroom'. Her 5 minutes on screen in episode 2, however, were the highlight of that show. Enjoy.
I don't know about pole dancing, but econ really isn't that hard; basic supply and demand of scarce resources where value is subjective and humans will act with purposeful behavior. What is hard is making (correct) predictions at the macro level based on (any number of) micro inputs.
@@scalp340 Lmao imagine trying to downplay economics and simplifying it down to basic supply and demand. My god. If it were that simple, you wouldn't have so many different schools of thought.
Olivia Munn is the best in SO many ways!!! They ought to put this show’s replays back on TV ASAP!! It is even more appropriate today than when it first aired!
Do you think? I felt it was hard to believe that these two people would have this conversation 2 minutes after they met. Would you talk to your boss that way? Someone with the power to make your career? Would your new boss really be this personal and needy right off the bat with someone under her? I love Sorkin, but this scene was a little too soapy for me.
I watched as many episodes as I could when Newsroom was on HBO. The characters and the dialog seem so authentic. Even after all this time, I still get sucked back into the entire story and want more...
This episode was after the book "The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine" by Michael Lewis and before the movie. Book (2010), episode (2012), movie (2015).
exactly, I was surprised. I've known Munn for a while.. from attack of the show, hot internet stuff, and silly interviews. I never thought I could take her seriously. But, apparently, she is, as you said, a really good actress.
She managed to argue why corporations are not people with a soundbite. Since Citizens United v. FEC made political contributions as a right of corporate personhood into a relevant political topic, her getting the big gig due to her ability to compress such complex issues into made for prime time soundbites makes perfect sense.
thanks for the comment. I knew little about Munn until this show began. I think she is just as smart as she is attractive, despite her 'silly' act on talk shows. Sorkin should find a way to better-utilize her character, since she is obviously quite popular, and has the acting chops deserving of more screen-time.

I didn't say she was right (or wrong), only that her answer is easy to understand and sounds reasonable enough. Being able to do that off the cuff requires talent, and I can guaranteed you if there's anybody on television that you personally trust, he or she has that talent too. As a show that's about the media, the dialogue was actually quite clever.
Coming from West Wing I found 'The Newsroom' too preachy but great from the outset. Not all worked but well done. Watching now a few clips again here, it has even grown on me.
Because in the end, the news room was a fantasy. If there is a news channel thats was filled with integrity, it would die because of companies trying to kill it or viewership is so low because actual news is supposed to be boring
MacKenzie McHale, Sloan Sabbith, Jenna Johnson, Lisa Lambert, Leona Lansing, what was up with Sorkin and giving so many of the female cast members alliteration names?
The legs thing is absolutely real and accurate. The biggest news oultlet in my country hired a streamer to do a news show about e-sports.... thing is, the girl is not a journalist, nor could she ever pass for one. She got the job for being hot.
@TheMykcal this is what im talking about. populist screeds that 0 sense. this issue has nothing to do with humility. its whether or not you grant full rights to entities created by contract.
Sorry I meant *selfish* acts. As I was addressing a recent story about that corporation. The CEO selfishly supported their own ideals without thinking of the consequences. Now you can look at the CEO saying those words to get more customers, but that's an idea not an actual truth.
From the exchange I see this: 1) A human is describe as someone who is kindhearted. Which means that a human is a thing not represented as an human itself. It's represented as a thing that is taught to many people. That thing is humility. 2) A corporation is an idea representing non-humility. In terms of that corporations only think of self-less acts, and never reaches out to the community with the idea of getting rewarding in return. (e.g. Chick-Fil-A).
That's interesting. My take was more like: 1.) A human is an individual who does what he/she does for his/her own reasons but must earn a living so that he/she and his/her dependents can survive, for good, for bad or indifference. 2.) A corporation is a revenue-generating collective of financial interests that pays associated agencies (employees, board members and investors) whether it makes a profit (or not, in which case bankruptcy can be filed). I'm not a soulless capitalist, just a realist who tends to get annoyed when corporations are vilified for performing their designated functions...
So you think women should pretend they are not intelligent because it makes men uncomfortable? That's how it used to be. Now, smart people should feel free to be themselves. The people who feel threatened by being around smart people are the ones with a problem.
Populist screeds Im guessing is that these characters arent an actual outlook of real people. My guess is you hate the character because you find a flaw where there may not be a flaw to anyone else.
That is what is wrong with this show. It's like when Gabby Gifford was shot. They will take a quality that is praise worthy and exaggerate it's importance to the extent it becomes something more. Not reporting Gabby Gifford as dieing was commendable but by itself not enough to show that someone is a newsman. They want to show how these characters are superior to other people and because they don't have the time to develop those ideas than this is how they do it.
Not reporting her as being killed and insisting on having multiple independent sources IS praiseworthy and commendable because that is a tenant of journalism that is largely ignored in the race to be the first to report the news - even if the news is inaccurate.
No I didn't forget. I believe even as a work of fiction needs to sound authentic.. They want you to think of the character played by Olivia Munn as being very smart. Instead of developing that idea over time they put this stupid scene in that I believe doesn't work as it gives an exaggerated importance to a trivial action.
Because... why? They're honest that most people's eyes glaze over when someone talks about economics, so having a qualified woman (Sloane has a Ph.D. AND is a professor of Econ at an Ivy league school) who happens to also be beautiful getting their attention is not a bad idea. It shows how stupid and sexist the average man is.
Doesn't that contradict the "We are doing news right and telling people the truth" angle of the show. She compressed a big issue into an inaccurate representation of reality, coming at it from a perspective of someone I would think has never done a Google search much less is an economist. She made a lie into a soundbite and I'm supposed to respect her an intellectual?
"What's the difference between a human and corporation?" might be the stupidest dialogue exchange I've ever heard in my life. It's hard to believe these people are intelligent as they are supposed to be when they are so devoid of intelligence beyond populist screeds. and an economist said that. Jesus
But its a question that needs to be asked because frequently, the law likes to treat corporations like "people" as if they can have their feelings hurt and that they should have the same treatment as an individual, despite that they are a large group of individuals.
Economics is a complicated field. And pole dancing is HARD, physically. Anyone who can either is talented. Both, at the same time...mind blown.
Michael In Hong Kong we have a famous illustration artist who can also pole dance, well she don’t perform both at the same time... still impressive !
I don't know about pole dancing, but econ really isn't that hard; basic supply and demand of scarce resources where value is subjective and humans will act with purposeful behavior. What is hard is making (correct) predictions at the macro level based on (any number of) micro inputs.

Olivia Munn, my goodness
May I be a blunt ignorant person, and ask What was the Gabby Gifford scene? Ive only watched The Newsroom since episode 8.
I was pleasantly surprised when I saw her appear in this show.
This show looks good
MacKenzie McHale, Sloan Sabbith, Jenna Johnson, Lisa Lambert, Leona Lansing, what was up with Sorkin and giving so many of the female cast members alliteration names?
The legs thing is absolutely real and accurate.
The biggest news oultlet in my country hired a streamer to do a news show about e-sports.... thing is, the girl is not a journalist, nor could she ever pass for one. She got the job for being hot.
I mean when Olivia Munn got hired on Attack of the Show, her being hot had as to do with it as her chemistry with Kevin Pereira.
I like that Sloan did not apologize for her "reality tv" comment. She just moved on
Oh dear.. this show should come back. With Sloan as lead anchor of the newschannel
I’ll buy the pole!
can i get an economics teacher like her?
magic mike
Olivia munn started with this
And then went to X-men
Whew
She started with Attack of the Show.
The ending of this scene is the beginning of massive disaster.
Livi!
I don't watch the show but have seen some clips. On this particular clip, Will is either gay or she cheated on him.... Thats my guess.
Mac cheated on HIM, but Will didn't want to talk about it.
.....yea,.....that was your guess........ cough
Its the latter, she cheated on him.
I could try but it would be better for you to watch it yourself.
The clip is on the right.
(The Newsroom EPA Gifford shooting/Fix)
God Damn what was Aaron Rodgers thinking when they broke up😛
She got with a drunk who was fresh outta rehab and let him shoot up the club before the divorce papers were signed. Aaron dodged a nuke.
The CBC version of The Newsroom is way better
LOL.
Who Sloane say “oooh” about the friendship request
If a male boss said her lines about female legs, therre would have been a huge shitstorm. crazy world...
