tonight and fmc show cover me babe release in 1970 and it get robert forster a a student filmmaker and who obsess with the idea that reality might be more interesting than scripted production . especially seedy and sordid reality . he inspire by the lee harvey oswald shoot that be broadcast live on tv his big idea be and essentially and reality tv . he tell his film teacher about how someday people real life will be film and and viewer will come to prefer it over anything scripted very prophetic . a good movie than i expect and and apparently rarely see and especially on tv this version seem uncut and with nudity intact . it not worth any great expense or effort to seek and but fine a an easy diversion interesting and prophetic and but by no mean a great movie . i can see why it be despise in 1970 it only value a a cinematic artifact be achieve by it be almost 40 year later now and and how eerily the film predict the rise of reality entertainment . the very same thing that forster lead character be hat for screening and those thing now win award and accolade and movie or tv career contract . forster performance be metallic and make him more unlikable than any film character i can think of outside the a hole principal in animal house and at least he be funny . so it a curio at best and but with out there and ultimately accurate idea about medium and pop culture and the kind of thing film buff can appreciate . and ( very ) young sondra locke really isn not bad a one of forster long suffering girlfriend and even tho there never the slight indication why she would put up with his vidiot or savant personality and way .
