After you watch Manchurian Candidate...

[Tosca]

Watch Network.

WARNING: Your head might explode.

1. I just so happened to buy the DVD

of the original Manchurian Candidate last weekend and watched it again on Sunday. Still very powerful...

I was thinking about the movie Network the other day...

And don't forget 'Bob Roberts'!

2. I watched Network last week. . . .

and it was absolutely chilling. I don't know that I could take the Manchurian Candidate and Network together!

4. Ned Beatty in Network...

the scene where he tells the lowdown on what's what...Randi was just talking about it on her show...I need to rent it again.

6. we have moved SO FAR BEYOND Network in real life

that it's beyond scary

[Tosca]

7. Art imitating life! Or...

Life imitating art! Truly a visionary film. How the hell did they get it out, anyways? Oh yes, it was the 70's, things were in FLUX.

3. Bob Roberts is some scary stuff

Great movie but it made me sick.

5. My formally republican friend

formally after viewing F911 called me yesterday and asked me about seeing it, i said hell yes but i told her she has to watch the original first. After we saw F911 she's now into a total immersion program, i love hearing about what she read or watched and loaning her my oh so many politcal books and my Outfoxed dvd.

8. Network is coming up on TV

TCM has in 7/31 at 11:30.

. . .and Randi Rhodes demanded we all watch it (what better reason could there be?)

9. I think the concept of this movie is to use high technology...

To "build" a President that is privately owned. But that is too complicated, I think that if you could hire some good psychologists and evaluate a person you can achieve the same results without any techonology.
