Now Network is fantastic. I can't remember seeing Peter Finch in anything else but he must have been a great actor judging by his performance in this movie. What were the revolutionarys called? Was it the ecumenical liberation alliance or something? I love the bit where they're discussing contracts with the TV executives. Definately an important movie.

Fortunately I was in Australia during Shrek 2's release, so I got to hear the Ugly Sister and Joan Rivers with their original voices intact (they didn't feel the need to patronise the Aussies as they did us Brits). I did later end up seeing it again that autumn when they played it at my campus cinema, and I was...stupified. I mean, why even bother dubbing Kate Thornton's voice over Joan Rivers' in the role of...
Joan Rivers?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! It makes no sense to me at all. ???
The name of the revolutionarys was the Ecumenical Liberation Army...though Alliance is a much more beautiful word, don't you think?
Here's an interesting
Network observation (major spoilers therein):
Spoiler Below I really hope I'm not the only one who thought that the assassin who shot Howard Beale (one of them anyway), was the spitting image of Jacob Singer from Jacob's Ladder. For a few brief moments I even thought it was him. But then I remembered that this film was made in the mid-70s, when Tim Robbins would still have been a teenager, and yet to launch his acting career. But still, the resemblence is uncanny.
