Been Watching "Network" tonight...

[WiffenPoof]

What an incredible movie. It was so far ahead of its time.

The writing is only matched by the outstanding acting. This is a must see movie that is far more applicable in today's culture than it was when it first came out.

3. If you took out the Maoists and replaced them with Teabaggers

you could remake this movie for today with few other changes (maybe add something about how all mainstream media are owned by 5 conglomerates).

5. Paddy Chayefsky, Genius

His screenplays for The Hospital and The Americanization of Emily are right on target, too.
