New Yorker film critic David Denby began a talk at Yale University this week by flatly declaring that “movies suck.” Specifically, according to Denby, the Matrix trilogy sucks, most other film critics suck, and so does the exasperating tendency of the big Hollywood studios to churn out embarrassing pap masquerading as cinema. But Denby isn’t all doom and gloom, saying that just because there are fewer profound stories being filmed than in the medium’s “golden age,” that doesn’t indicate that Hollywood is dying out.
