Charlie Brooker: Supposing … We observed a two-minute howl of despair
“Feeling trapped in the middle of a fight you didn’t pick? Mad as hell? Not going to take it any more? Well hip hip hooray - it’s venting time. At the allotted date/hour, stop what you’re doing, put down your tools, step into the street and join us, the sane remainders of the human race, as we howl inarticulately at the skies.”

“mad as hell? not going to take it anymore?”
I’d like to recommend Network, Faye Dunaway’s finest role, exceeding even the Thomas Crown Affair, and a fabulous indictment of news reporting.
You know, I’ve never seen it. I’m a big Peter Finch fan (I think it was his final film?) so I should really get around to it.
And everybody knows that Dunaway’s crowning moment was cruelly overlooked Supergirl.
