I really believe we're not going to get (m)any high-quality movies from Hollywood again until a secondary celluloid network comes into it's own propelled by digital video and distributed by the internet (hopefully aided by local alternative theatres--you can't beat that big screen). Sherman Alexie made his last movie here in Seattle on dv. Of course I empathize with film purists who denigrate the inferior technical quality of dv, but who cares how slick the current delivery system is when it delivers nothing but hollow lowest-denominator crap? I'll take scratchily pixellated Zinn over flawlessly filmed Limbaugh anyday . . .
