stuttering



"But when you keep rebooting and discarding continuity and starting over, you're not telling a story spread over several films.  You're just stuttering.  You're just using familiar iconography while running in place.  It is, quite frankly, pathetic.  And yet we stand here, all of us in this business, looking at the flames that keep getting higher and higher around us while we say nothing and do nothing and make no efforts to stop the ruin of this art form that we love.  We run these stories as news instead of dire warnings"


from perhaps my favorite film critic currently working, drew mcweeney.  not enough people can say it enough times in as many ways.
