"The revival of neglected movies on DVD means the rewriting of film history day by day, living room by living room. And the emerging canon, I have no doubt, will include fewer ''Lawrence of Arabia''s and more films with titles like ''Au Pair Girls,'' ''Go, Go, Second-Time Virgin,'' and ''Pioneers in Ingolstadt.''"I think this is an extremely cynical view, that the author really doesnt substantiate. You can say this about the internet as much as anything else.
And so what if it does ?
Those titles have every much of a right to be a part of DVD releases as "Lawrence of Arabia".
Didnt this guy have anything better to write about than his specious projections and his precious esoteric foreign films ?
