In today’s edition of the New York Times , film critic A.O. Scott surveys the wreckage of a summer of bad movies (my eyes still burn from Eat, Pray, Love ) and wonders if “any of the movies surfacing this fall [will] provoke the kind of conversation that television series routinely do, breaking beyond niches into something larger.” Well, hopefully! But in his lament of the lameness of the film industry, isn’t Scott giving the television industry a bit too much credit?
