Things are so bad that I've really stopped going to theaters. If I can find a good art-house theater then you can't get me to leave.
What I really would like to do is lock a huge audience in a multiplex and swap whatever crapfest they paid for to a pristine 35mm print of Tarkovsky's Solaris. Then we can see their heads roll.
I thought for the longest time that modern audiences could no longer appreciate great works of the cinema. Roger Ebert once asked: "Do modern audiences have the patience to wait for Harry Lime in The Third Man?" The answer is: yes. I started a Film Appreciation club at school, and people actually get engrossed by classic film again. So, there really is hope in the world when college students sit in rapt attention for THX 1138, Barry Lyndon, Once Upon a Time in the West, and The Third Man. I want to break out Lawrence of Arabia and Once Upon a Time in America now just to see the reaction.
