Z, thanks, I'm going to watch it for sure... re: Clooney told the AP that when he screened the film for a group of "young people," none of them recognized that it was a dark satire: "I couldn't understand it, [then] I realized that everything Chayefsky wrote about happened. . . . And so, suddenly, the idea that the anchor is more important than the news story, and that you'd be doing sort of reality-based shows, all happened," Clooney said in the interview. "And when you have that great speech with Ned Beatty," as the chairman of a corporation trying to take over the network, "sitting there going, 'There is no U.S.A. and Soviet Union, there is only Xerox and IBM,' you realize all of those things were true, or came true." It's pretty weird watching that movie, 30 years after watching it the first time. Things were very different in 1976... and it's "Wow, how did that guy know this stuff was going to happen!?". John
