Inspired by my rewatch of 'Videodrome' yesterday, decided to take on NETWORK earlier this aft. Remains a scathing and relevant satire, the predecessor of Chris Morris, Charlie Brooker and probably all other other meeja hackers. Atmospherically, it conjures a sense of controlled hysteria - the tone of our our own blighted existence, lived out and shaped within the shadow of today's media monolith - F*CK THE OLYMPICS.
Sorry, I should really just lie down and watch 'the Fly' on TV.
