ridley scott on new technologies and cellphones
while speaking at the venice film festival, scott said that technology that allows people to view films on their cell phones are hurting the theatrical films in general.
“we try to do films which are in support of cinema, in a large room with good sound and a big picture. but we’re fighting technology. while it has been wonderful in many aspects, it also has some big negative downsides.
i think movies are getting dumber, actually. where it used to be 50/50, now it’s 3% good, 97% stupid. i’m not criticising hollywood because i work there. but i’m saying this is the way it is, commerce is taking over art.”
