Sydney Lumet died recently. At some point ten years ago he'd been shown a short film I did & had complimented the acting (I was told this later by the film's director); I'd hoped one day to run into Lumet & remind him, or something.
Anyhow, we watched his movie Network (1976) last night--- I'd never seen it. Certainly worth the watch & very prescient in re today's media marketplace. I'm glad now I didn't see it when I was younger: I might have run into the street shouting w/ an uzi made of hotdogs (trailer below). ~W
