“As you know, critics have been dropping like
flies in all the newspapers and all the criticism is online now. The problem
is, in my view, is that you can't tell the worth of a movie the year it comes
out because there's too many sidebar things going on that distract you. I think
if you look back at film history, a lot of movies that we revere now were
critical and box office flops when they first came out like The Wizard of Oz, Citizen Kane, and all those older pictures that we now think of
as classics were actually not that well-received. I think it takes a good five
years before you can start looking back at a movie and really find its place in
history.”
-Director Joe Dante talks about movie critics,
and movies that survive the test of time, with
Tony Farinella, at 411Mania. (9/26/2012)
