It might be interesting for y'all to rent this movie. I'd be curious to see how your W reacts to the Holly Hunter character. It's quite a good movie-- very funny. It has some falling-down-on-the-floor-clutching-your-sides-laughing stuff. In fact one of the opening scenes is like that. I'll tell you the ending... Holly is ultimately so perfectionistic and demanding that she winds up alone. William Hurt and Albert Brooks are in it too.
Here's Roger Ebert's review: Broadcast News . He says it "has insights into the more personal matter of how people use high-pressure jobs as a way of avoiding time alone with themselves." He gave it four stars back when it came out in 1987.
