Tasteful And Colossal Are - In Movies,

Movies Are So Rarely Great Art That If We Cannot Appreciate Great Trash We Have Very Little Reason To Be Interested In Them.

The Movies Have Been So Rank The Last Couple Of Years That When I See People Lining Up To Buy Tickets I Sometimes Think That The Movies Aren't Drawing An Audience - They're Inheriting An Audience. People Just Want To Go To A Movie. They're Stung Repeatedly, Yet Their Desire For A Good Movie - For Any Movie - Is So Strong That All Over The Country They Keep Lining Up.

Television Represents What Happens To A Medium When The Artists Have No Power And The Businessmen Are In Full, Unquestioned Control.

Good Movies Make You Care, Make You Believe In Possibilities Again. If Somewhere In The Hollywood-entertainment World Someone Has Managed To Break Through With Something That Speaks To You, Then It Isn’t All Corruption. The Movie Doesn’t Have To Be Great; It Can Be Stupid And Empty And You Can Still Have The Joy Of A Good Performance, Or The Joy In Just A Good Line. An Actor’s Scowl, A Small Subversive Gesture, A Dirty Remark That Someone Tosses Off With A Mock-innocent Face, And The World Makes A Little Bit Of Sense.

A Mistake In Judgment Isn't Fatal, But Too Much Anxiety About Judgment Is.
