. . . there's always been a tidal wave of crap from the film industry. With this digital stuff, it just means that there will be a new medium to make crap in. There's still going to be good movies made in both film and video and utter shit coming from both formats.
The format doesn't decide how much shit gets made. It's just another vehicle. It's like having an old Datsun and watching SUV's emerge on the market. Some people will keep their Datsun, while others will jump into an SUV. There's my stupid analogy for the day!
