I liked the dark corners analogy as well... probably my favorite thing that he said. I'm certainly not against self knowledge but I think we know ourselves much more by living... by how we react to the twists and turns and challenges then by probing inwardly and trying to illuminate those dark corners (though I believe that has it's place... as depicted in Wild Strawberries).

It's like everything though when taken to it's extreme (I must learn everything about myself... illuminate every dark corner is as bad as I don't want/need to know anything about myself and won't try to illuminate anything).

I agree that digital filmamakers will adapt and there will be plenty of worthwhile films made (there are some good one's already) and that, of course, digital film making is not the same as a film with digital effects.

Don't piss on my shoe and tell me it's raining.
