The Movie Critic's Lament
"Obviously, TV programs and movies need to be analyzed in context, taking into account who they're meant for and what they hope to achieve. Nothing's more irritating than reviews that torturously stretch to compare "Rambo" to "Satyricon." Thanks to audience fragmentation, moreover, many projects are clearly not intended for middle-aged white guys. Amid critics' lamentations about their dwindling ranks, this shifting dynamic has been understated as a factor." Variety 06/17/08
