I’m looking for a movie that was heavily excerpted on the Comedy Channel (when it was a clip channel; Night After Night starring Allan Havey was a staple). The one scene I recall most was someone that looked like Anthony Michael Hall sitting at a desk; his position was to take insane complaints. Some of the complaints involved whaling or baby seals or something and the complaint-taker getting sprayed in blood or oil.
That’s the end of the concrete recall; I associate the CEO dying and the former complaint-taker somehow worming his way in as a replacement (à la Weekend at Bernie’s). I also had this movie confused with Network and Broadcast News; based on the air dates of Comedy Channel (1989-1991), I think they’re both eliminated.
So, crazy complaint desk scene, probably already on video by 1990. Thanks.
