Film: second half of Broadcast News

There was literally nothing on TV - no sports I wanted to watch after working out this AM, so I watched it again. It isn't transcendent art, but it is the best Hollywood can do. The New Beverly would be brave to schedule a Broadcast News and Working Girl double feature and title it single working women in the 1980s series or something. The studios cannot make a movie as good as either of these films right now - why is that? Their comedies are not as funny and their dramas are not as substantive. Albert Brook's speech to Holly Hunter about why William Hurt is the devil should be taught in screenwriting classes. If you're going to do a speech, here is the standard you need to get up to.
