“Popular culture as a whole is popular, but in today's fragmented market it's a jostle of competing unpopular popular cultures. As the critic Stanley Crouch likes to say, if you make a movie and 10 million people go see it, you'll gross $100 million - and 96 per cent of the population won't have to be involved. That alone should caution anyone about reading too much into individual examples of popular culture.” PeopleIfsShouldWholeTodayFilmCultureReadingIndividualMillionsToo MuchExampleInvolvedHollywoodCriticsPopulationLikesCentsCompetingGrossCautionPopular CultureStanleyFragmented Author:Mark Steyn
“I dislike The Exorcist, and I found it a warning sign of the dangers in a furious cinematic talent putting the audience through it (a Hitchcock phrase) without purpose, or without the nagging moral anxiety that activated Hitch. You see, I don't think William Friedkin believes in the Devil, or cares about him. I think he found exorcism a pretext for a gross-out and he calculated there was an audience for it, or a crowd ready to be challenged.

“The wise screen writer is he who wears his second-best suit, artistically speaking, and doesn't take things too much to heart. He should have a touch of cynicism, but only a touch. The complete cynic is as useless to Hollywood as he is to himself. He should do the best he can without straining at it. He should be scrupulously honest about his work, but he should not expect scrupulous honesty in return. He won't get it. And when he has had enough, he should say goodbye with a smile, because for all he knows he may want to go back.” KnowsWantShouldHeartMayEnoughToo MuchWiseHonestHonestyReturnShould HaveHollywoodScreensSuitsUselessGoodbyeCynicismDo The BestSaying GoodbyeHad EnoughCynicSecond BestSmile Because Author:Raymond Chandler
