And ABM would probably still have won. Hollywood seems to love generic, safe directors like Opie. And the music swells as our hero's arm is impregnated with a radiation counter, or whatever. I saw North By Northwest for the first time the other day, and loved it. It was the first time in too long that I left the house to do mundane everyday things with a smile on my face, thinking about a film I had just seen. There are things to look forward to, like Gangs of New York, and Punch Drunk Love, but I don't get my hopes high in anticipation like I used to. The gaps of time between the releases of really special films seems to get longer and longer.

I agree with you Victor. I've been reading Halliwell's Film Guide for years, and it has led me to films I might never have bothered to see otherwise. I know that I will probably not have the time to see everything worth seeing either. I haven't been to a movie theatre in many years.
