Hey Mike, just listened to the podcast.  You obviously run circles around most people because you have the experience to back up your opinions.  I like that.  And that's exactly why I like your comments regarding the sorry state of modern cinema (if you can even call it that).  The sad truth is that most good movies are older movies.  What we're getting today is basically disposable.  I'm sure the new Star Wars will be watchable but not memorable.  That's about the long and the short of it.  Symphonic music scores, good scripts and insightful directors are really becoming a thing of the past.  When we lose the last of the old masters it will be a sad day.  I don't think many of the up and comers even know what a good movie is.  The industry likes it that way because corporations don't need to care much as long as it sells.  You more or less illustrated my exact feelings toward this madness and I really enjoyed your insights.  Thank goodness you took the time to help save something, anything involving the original Star Wars.
