AO Scott

curated: “The Movies Are Back. But What Are Movies Now?“

Sun, Jul 18, 2021

AO Scott in The New York Times goes long on what I was trying to get at with my Question of the Weekend from July 3rd, when I asked, “What are movies for anymore?” (He doesn’t seem to know, either.)

Do you imagine that anyone — any single person — will accuse Scott of dragging feminism into everything?

question of the day: Why do most Americans tune out the rest of the world’s pop culture?
