Who Knew?

I’d like to draw your attention to Sunday’s NYTimes Arts & Leisure decade-in-review section, which was surprisingly not horrible - Dargis on the death of film! Pareles on the rise of MP3s! Dave Kehr on the viability of Blu-ray! Carmanica on Kanye! All great pieces.

Even though Dargis uses the number of Google search results for the phrase “death of cinema” as a way to prove a point. It’s 2010, I thought we all had realized by now how lazy this was. Citizen Kane must be a very unpopular movie - 628,000 results for the phrase “citizen kane bad” can’t be wrong!
