“I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore”

Way off topic:

Network – one of my two favorite TV News movies was re-released last month with some special features not seen in the two previous (1998 & 2000) DVD releases. Truly, the evils that writer Paddy Chayefsky predicted in this 1976 movie have come home to roost. For example: entertainment masquerading as news, corporate meddling and violent reality shows, just to name a few. (See page 14 of the 3/1/06 issue of The Hollywood Reporter for a thorough review of this 2-disc set.) The extras disc contains the Dinah! episodes featuring Peter Finch (1976) and Paddy Chayefsky (1977) as well as an hour-long Sidney Lumet retrospective.

And my other favorite?
Broadcast News, of course! It didn’t matter which of the three commercial network news divisions you worked for, the characters had their counterparts at all three. (Hint: I used to be “Bobby”.)
