The Day the Movies Died
Via Rotten Tomatoes.
There's a bit where the author talks about the marginalization of women as a potential audience that's... worded poorly... but otherwise it's an interesting article.
It also underscores what a lot of us have been saying for a long time: we watch tv instead of movies because the quality is quite simply higher. I can stack pretty much any two episodes of White Collar against pretty much any heist/action/comedy picture last year and I can guarantee with 95% certainty which one is going to be smarter, classier, more human, and less hackneyed.
Per the last episode, it's Cary Grant versus Ratso Rizzo.
