I recently got tapped to write a regular Monday column for The American Partisan . The editors asked me a series of questions the answers to which were to serve as data for my on-site bio.
Movies are beneath contempt.
In fact, I do like some movies, but they're the same old movies I have always liked. If movies are beneath contempt today, it's because they don't measure up any more. I've watched them several times apiece, and will probably watch them again. Their sheer narrative verve and vitality. That's why I don't watch much any more.
