Man, this movie is chilling in its cynicism, and perhaps even more accurate with today's mass media. So good though.
Also, "I could do wonders with your dismembered body!" has to rank as one of the creepiest movie quotes ever. 8 years 8 months ago -

An incredibly brilliant and satirical look at the media and the way it manipulates the public conscious to make a buck. Douglas and Wilder are at their best here. Deserves all the praise. 13 years 9 months ago
