For Perhaps Most Americans, Tv

Television As We Have It Isn't An Art Form - It's A Piece Of Furniture That Is Good For A Few Things.

For Some Strange Reason We Don't Go To Charming, Light Movies Anymore. People Expect A Movie To Be Heavy And Turgid, Like "american Beauty." We've Become A Heavy-handed Society.

Tasteful And Colossal Are - In Movies, At Least - Basically Antipathetic.

If It Took Some Effort To See Old Movies, We Might Try To Find Out Which Were The Good Ones, And If People Saw Only The Good Ones Maybe They Would Still Respect Old Movies. As It Is, People Sit And Watch Movies That Audiences Walked Out On Thirty Years Ago.

The First Prerogative Of An Artist In Any Medium Is To Make A Fool Of Himself.
