For me, acting is not an all-consuming thing, except for the moment when I am actually doing it.

Network - The Genesis of Glenn Beck

In 1976, Paddy Chayefsky wrote a brilliant satirical film called "Network". It starred Faye Dunaway, Robert Duvall, William Holden, and Peter Finch. It described the descent of the media and news broadcasting, into a petty, mindless scrabble for ratings. Sadly, this brilliant film was prophetic in its ability to describe perfectly what the FOX news corporation was to become decades later. A 12 year old Glenn Beck could have gone into the cinemas to watch Faye Dunaway describe his future career plan. We are to blame. In 1976, we were warned of the blight that was to come. The film was nominated for 10 academy awards, and one four: Paddy Chayefsky - Best Screenplay Dunaway - Best Actress Finch - Best Actor Beatrice Straight - Best Supporting Actress *I Have No Legal Right To Post This On YouTube. This Is Simply To Great Of A Movie To Be Forgotten, And Frankly MGM Needs All The Advertising For Their Products That I Can Give Them Right Now*
