Some typist (the "special" byline is a giveaway it's no good) marvels at the movies' multitasking -- unfortunately, even Special must admit it's for a reason:
"We've run out of new content," says Howard Suber, a longtime professor of story structure at UCLA's School of Theater, Film and Television and author of "The Power of Film." "It's hard to think of any subject, any kind of story, where somebody could say, 'No film has ever talked about what this film talks about.' That leaves, if there are aspirations to be an artistic filmmaker, experiments with style." Somehow "same old same old" would merely prove the point. (Via the exasperating ArtsJournal)
