The author seems to be looking at the past through rose-colored glasses and seems to detest the idea of convenience and selection that we have today. Does that ruin appreciation of film? I don't think so. I see more films at theaters than almost anyone I know and I certainly enjoy the conveniences we have today.With every hobby/pasttime or whatever we always tend to look at the past as being the "golden" years. But if you notice, it's always in the past. One day we'll look at what's happening today and reflect on it as another golden time.
Thinking like that is usually a bad rut for people since it tends to make them live in the past. Undoubtedly there's still people pissed off that stereo came into vogue.
