If you were a Jello Biafra lovin punk like me, then you may have also gotten roped into reading the book called (The media monopoly by Ben Bagdikian 1983. It’s an important book about the fall of news media, great, but a lil dry. He should of also said, watch Network 1976! That’s not the only story goin on here buts it’s definitely in there.
You love this movie, you know all about that’s why your here.
Probably know more than me, I may love this film and the genre but my butt spent the entire watch along commentary calling actor Peter Finch Albert flippin Finney! Funny but you put a head shot of both actors, one in each hand and dim the lights and let’s see how you do. Lots of amazing film lines and trivia to remember and your decade under the influence crew does they’re best, I could give you George C Scott’s whole speech on modern medicine in the hospital, I can tell you the number of the pressure maintenance hatch in Star Wars
heck I could sing all of Jesus Christ superstar but I couldn’t tell Peter Finch from Albert Finney, I apologize dear listeners, I will do better in the future. Back to Network, written by Paddy Chayefsky (Marty, the hospital, altered states, and once again I suck because I did not know he was the uncredited writer of the way we were (I see why he took his name off that) review coming soon. Along with Chayefsky’s amazeballs writing here we have director Sidney Lumets mad film skills as well
