Broadcast News [VHS]

In James L. Brooks’ quirky, romantic comedy, three ambitious workaholics are set loose in a network TV newsroom where their professional and personal lives become hopelessly cross-wired. Tom (William Hurt) is the modern anchorman, smooth, handsome and a bit dumb. Jane (Holly Hunter) is his driven, brilliant producer, determined to turn Tom into a real newsman. And Aaron (Albert Brooks) is a seasoned, totally uncharismatic reporter who can’t stand Tom’s instant success on-camera or with Jane. It all adds up to one explosively funny romantic triangle.Holly Hunter plays a network news producer who, much to her chagrin, finds herself falling for pretty-boy anchorman William Hurt. He is all glamour without substance and represents a hated shift from hard news toward packaged “infotainment,” which Hunter despises. Completing the triangle is Albert Brooks, who provides contrast as the gifted reporter with almost no presence on camera. He carries a torch for Hunter; she sees merely a friend. Written and directed by James L. Brooks, this shows remarkable insight into the people who make television. On the surface it is about that love triangle. If you look a little deeper, however, you will see that this behind-the-scenes comedy is a very revealing look at obsessive behavior and the heightened emotions that accompany adrenaline addiction. It is for good reason this was nominated for seven Academy Awards (though it did not win any). There are scenes in this movie you cannot shake, such as Hunter’s scheduled mini-breakdowns, or Brooks’s furious “flop sweat” during his tryout as a national anchor. Watch for an uncredited Jack Nicholson as a senior newscaster. –Rochelle O’Gorman

Is it true that network TV news programs are having difficulty finding intelligent black people to air?

Since Nobama got into the oval office, network television and radio programs are searching (without much success) to find reputable black people to speak about current events. Is it true that every major TV station in the country is looking for smart, articulate black professionals, but have been unsuccessful at doing so? I’ve been told that there just aren’t “that many” intelligent black people available.
