Press Releases and Film News / RIP Alexander P. Butterfield

Although it's not my history, the Watergate Scandal has always fascinated me.

If I have it correct, Alexander Butterfield was the person who made it known and alerted people to the fact that President Nixon was taping everything in the Oval Office. He paved the way for the investigations.

He passed away a few days ago at the age of 99: RIP.

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2

Coma (1978) - I saw this around 30 years and I think it was actually on the PBS station in Boston. The idea that it was sort of intellectual because of that colored my view of it as being really awesome, but it's actually just a really pretty good conspiracy movie, not something on the level of, say, The BBC's "The Lathe of Heaven". I also remembered it well enough that it kind of made the viewing superfluous, but I enjoyed it anyway. It takes place in Boston so that's probably why they ran it. If you like Michael Douglas movies, this is certainly an excellent example of one.

A headstrong female doctor loses her best friend to an anesthesia error. She discovers there have recently been what she thinks is an abnormal number of these incidents. Is something dastardly, possibly even perpetuated by Dick Dastardly, afoot? Or is she just a nutty lady who should be at home baking instead of spazzing out around the busy hospital and melting down in the cafeteria?

Michael Crichton did the screenplay and directs. Some of the overhearing things and amazing luck are kind of dated, but it works very well, end to end. The fugly ass medical building they occasionally visit evokes our North Korea esque City Hall and similar "urban renewal" aesthetic disasters, though I've never actually seen that particular one. Watched on Plex, which seemed like it had more ads than Tubi, but I could be wrong. I'd buy the Hell out ad free tubi, but it doesn't exist.

There were so many great Italian composers wandering around in the late 60s and 70s you almost couldn't help but get a great soundtrack for your bad movie.
