This week's Thursday Movie Picks is Meltdowns
---
I tend to love meltdown scenes in movies. They usually have some great lines and showcases a great performance. Here are some of my favorites:
"I just ran out of bullshit. Am I still on the air? I really don't know any other way to say it other than I just ran out of bullshit."
Network (1976)
When a news anchorman is fired, he begins the first of many rants about his unhappiness on the air. This movie is so good, it's over 40 years old and still feels relevant.

Michael Clayton (2007)"...please hear me out because this is not an episode, relapse, fuck-up, it's... I'm begging you Michael. I'm begging you. Try and make believe this is not just madness because this is not just madness."
A lawyer has a meltdown during a deposition meeting and later rants and rambles in an attempt to explain what happened to a colleague.
Wanted (2008)"I understand. Junior high must've been kind of tough, but it doesn't give you the right to treat your workers like horseshit, Janice. ...I want you to know, if you weren't such a bitch, we'd feel sorry for you. I do feel sorry for you. But as it stands, the way you behave - I feel I can speak for the entire office when I tell you... go fuck yourself."
It's that scene where Wesley finally has had enough of his boss.
The Social Network (2010)"You better lawyer up asshole, because I'm not coming back for 30%, I'm coming back for EVERYTHING."
It's that scene where Eduardo Saverin found out that only his ownership share and none of the others were diluted. He confronts Zuckerberg and loses it in the office.
