"The arbiter of what is middle-brow entertainment..." Haw!

Most guys set themselves up as arbiters of the high-brow. You nailed him good.

Your points about funding are spot-on as well, to which I'll add that Mel Gibson experienced the same cold shoulders when he pitched what became the highest-grossing film of the year.

For what it's worth, I enjoy watching Renoir, film noir, romantic comedies and cartoons -- if they're good. The standards one judges various types of movies by must be on a sliding scale I think, and perhaps that's why Duncan gets so much gaff. And by the way, the more my friends know about film, the more they agreed with his analysis. On the other hand, I really, really liked Mystic River.
