I go to movies to be uplifted, to be tranformed, and yes reborn again in a different place and time RICH in culture, music, art. I believe that by and large the movie producers are in a stagnant period where the mediocre is heralded as good. I don't believe in rewarding mediocrity. Most of the film producers today have no more artistic sensibility than a dung beatle. They are in the entertainment industry on the same par with professional wrestling and pornography and organized crime. The movie industry is virtually a closed fraternity and they want to keep it that way. Critics are paracitic in nature. They feed off the creative work of others and their mouthing off can make or break a film. Most are "ELSWORTH TOOHEYS" a character from Ayn Rand's novel, THE FOUNTAINHEAD. Pauline Kael would have served humanity more if she had sold shoes at Sears. She virtually ruined Lean's film RYAN'S DAUGHTER, a fine film and one of my favorites. Kubrick fell from grace after A CLOCKWORK ORANGE and as far as I'M concerned only made boring films thereafter. There is little sardonic wit and comedy after CLOCKWORK. BARRY LYNDON is nothing but Marissa Barenson staring off into space and taking great sighs although very well dressed and amid antiquity. The most beautiful thing in the film is the wallpaper on the walls. The heart attack scene is one of the best dying scenes I've ever seen. Cordially Ray Hughes
