I was so disappointed when I realized the only movie that looked interesting on your list, 100 years, was an advertising gag! My reaction to the possibility of a decent movie highlights the validity of your essay. I have been lamenting for quite some time that the art of cinema is dead. But it’s not just cinema—it’s books, music, paintings, poetry, plays, etc. Except for new technology, it seems like we are headed into an intellectual wasteland. It feels lonelier now somehow. We’ve already been in a political wasteland. I guess art was the next logical piece of humanity to go. I wonder if technology won’t be far behind.
