Eugene David
...The One-Minute Pundit

Thursday, August 04, 2005


David Thomson is a reasonably intelligent film historian who senses something with our culture is deeply wrong -- and then he blurts out this:

[I]f you write for the movies, you are, more than ever, in this dreadful committee structure where you get rewritten and rewritten and rewritten.

Has he never read the collected letters of F. Scott Fitzgerald? This is just another Biskindian way of saying "it's the system" when it's more than the system; but to say it's more than the system might get film historians to say CONSERVATIVE THINGS, and they'd never never NEVER do THAT.
