jeśli twoje dziecko najbardziej na świecie kocha filmy, a ty najbardziej na świecie kochasz swoje dziecko, to kup mu cinema speculation - w świątyni, rozdział 08:

Audiences who didn’t live in New York or Los Angeles, or didn’t read the New York Times, or the New Yorker, or the Village Voice, began to become afraid of modern movies. After a steady diet of movies like The Panic in Needle Park, Joe, Lenny, Play It as It Lays, The Sporting Club, The Hunting Party, Last Summer, and Dusty and Sweets McGee, regular moviegoers were becoming weary of modern American movies. The darkness, the drug use, the embrace of sensation—the violence, the sex, and the sexual violence. But even more than that, they became weary of the anti-everything cynicism. As Pauline Kael suggested at the beginning of the decade, are the best movies suggesting the only sensible recourse for Americans is to get stoned?
Was everything a bummer?
Was everything a drag?
Was every movie about some guy with problems?
