Left Speechless














United Hollywood's "Speechless" campaign, first promoted here Wednesday, is now online but the results so far are mixed. Videos featuring "A-list Screen Actors Guild talent" like Sean Penn, Nicolette Sheridan and Eva Longoria, and Harvey Keitel all disappoint. Making matters worse, the videos take too long to upload and play out in a choppy manner. Up to five people are listed as part of the creative team that envisioned the videos. It appears the world really does need writers, but also directors, editors and (shudder) producers to say yea or nay to an idea. The only compelling one up to this point - Sunday afternoon - is by Andre 3000, pictured above. Still eagerly awaiting Tina Fey's video, but if she can't write, then how good can it really be?

Yeah, the videos aren't very interesting. But they loaded and played fine for me -- maybe your connection was slow?
