It began much earlier than that. "Network" by Sidney Lumet contains a scene that discusses the issue - and it was made 50 years ago. Decades prior, Walter Lippmann and Edward Bernays wrote of the need to concentrate matters concerning decision making within a "specialised" minority of society.

George McFly, the Jester Version?

#RIP to Marcia Lucas, who *along with* Paul Hirsch and Richard Chew edited the original Star Wars trilogy with excellence. In tribute to their work, I had to share a clip of the original - and now largely suppressed 1977 film for which the trio won an Oscar and not the post 1997 "special editions."

For *years* I'd heard it lauded as the greatest film ever, so eventually I tuned in to a BBC2 airing and now, it's my favourite film ever. I go through phases where I watch it religiously and never cease to find new aspects that enthral me. From the cinematography to the screen-writing. Truly epic.

"After Hours" also released in 1985 and directed by the great Martin Scorsese. It's a delightfully written and directed black comedy with splendid cinematography that goes overlooked in comparison to his biopics and gangster flicks. Another case where I need to pick up the Criterion Blu-ray. 🖤

Now now, Log - be nice! 😁

I *love* this film and I could write an article/paper on its themes! Slavery, draconian mass incarceration, militarisation of the police and the abandonment of human values. Arguably, we're living in the onset of the gradual events that paved the way for the nightmarish future depicted in EFNY.

John Landis tipped his hat to Wilder by including a snippet from Sunset Boulevard during a sequence* in Trading Places as holiday TV that's watched by a couple of the characters. *(This sequence is not present in the theatrical version.)

This pops up on BBC1/BBC3 periodically and its really grown on me to the point that I now rank it amongst my faves. Swayze succeeds in making Bodhi a charismatic villain - something that many actors can't always pull off. Oh and the Nixon impersonator is a riot! 😁
